All that really matters is that everyone who wants to come is able to come. Even if that means having a less snazzy dinner. We can all go out and have wonderful food in our home cities but the real goal here is to build community and make sure that everyone is included.
The party in Long Beach was way too crowded and I didn't even get any food (except for the dessert), but it was a blast!
