Just a mix of several things of interest, so just making one thread for it.
1. On Friday night (August 14) I'd like to serve some kind of hot food. I did this at the last Kzoo event and brought hot dogs, they went pretty quick, so I'll be doing it again. Does anyone have any suggestions what to serve? By default, it'll either be hot dogs or Mac n' cheese (I can just throw a tray of mac in the oven, so it's easy enough to make)
2. Gonna try some different things with the Table of Many wonderful things. Mainly, going to try to simplify what I bring, as I'm spending too much money on it. Anyone got suggestions?
3. The Surcoat/Tabard I have is falling apart. Anyone out there who can make one in exchange for money/services/computer stuff? I'm looking to get one that can stand up to being put through a washing machine ideally.
4. Slightly more out there, but I have several cheap gaming computers under $200 (i7, 12gb ram, Radeon 5670) at my disposal, if anyone is looking for one, lemme know.

I don't want you to feel obligated to spend so much real money on stuff. Spend only what you're comfortable with, don't try to live up to the expectations of others. Same thing with Friday food.
For sewing I can recommend some people on facebook, although I love thrifting stuff too if you can get lucky.

Are any of the computers laptops? I have a few laptops. Were you looking for something basic or a gaming laptop?

I'm mostly considering not bringing the St. Julians stuff as it's pricey, or at least, bringing less of it. I'm here to have fun, and so spending money for the betterment of all is not something I have any regrets to doing. I would like to get ahold of someone who can do sewing, I have my current surcoat right now and getting a duplicate of it would be good.

I recommend looking up Tunky Seccareccio-Mullins on facebook. I also have a friend locally who does some work but I'd have to send you a link to her facebook directly.

Can you bring the vaio to the event for me to take a look at please. I am pretty sure it will do what I need but would like to give it a once over before commiting.
Do you take credit cards? Paypal? Check? Something other then cash?

Cash is preferred, but paypal or check will work too.
Are there any programs or games you would like loaded onto the Sony Vaio?

I'll put Libre Office on it (Free alternative to microsoft office). If you need Microsoft Office 2010 specifically, I can see if I can find a product key for it. Adobe reader, chrome, firefox, and avast will be installed. It has a built in wifi card, so you are good there.

Pass on the libre office. I have an install of office I can put on it myself, just figured if you were already doing installs I would save the time. Thanks!
