Chilling out now.

Ok, sorry if I've been freaking out a bit over the barbecue. The thing that was making me nuts was that I WANTED as many people as possible to show up (and still do!) but I was afraid of not being able to feed everyone.

But you know what? It'll be ok.

F. had already asked what he could bring yesterday, and I said cornbread.

geoogo is bringing hot dogs and buns.

I've asked my friend M. to bring some meat she can eat (a pepper allergy makes pretty much all barbecue and hot dogs off-limits for her).

unferth volunteered beer and a side dish.

I think we will be ALL SET after that. If we need anything else, fuck it, it's five minutes to the store! I just am feeling uber-guilty about suddenly feeling overwhelmed like this and flipping out. It's just that I hate not being able to host as well as I'd like. I planned this badly, and I'm sorry. I hope we all manage to have fun and enjoy my boyfriend's meat anyway! :)

Yeah you should rarely have to worry about feeding everybody at a barbecue. Buy for the lower number you expect, and if extra people show up - they're usually covered by the sides and additional food brought by a number of your guests.

Hope it's fun!

People always bring something to these things

You're all set.

And sorry we didn't make it, we could have saved you two extra people's worth of stress. It's nearly 6:30 and we have more to do, then collapse.

But there will be other BBQ occasions, at our place -- and at ours, since we're getting the yard ready for summer!
