I wish I knew some of you in real life [View all]

I've been thinking I'd like to have a DU dinner party this summer- if enough people (like 4+) could make it up to northern VT.

Internet community is fine, but it's not substitute for real life face to face interactions.

pm me if you're interested in this idea. (I really love to cook and feed people)
