Another awesome event in San Francisco: Cupcake Camp
We're mainly geeks, so it's derived from BarCamp.
We will schedule different cupcake tastings for different time slots (e.g. by flavor, baker, or store), similar to how BarCamp works.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But I'm already paying the delivery fee (it's a small operation, so I'm pretty sure he gets the money) calculated off the fact I have stairs.
If it were me, I would still stick a $10 in my pocket, in case he is expecting a tip.
ION, I just had a long conversation about wedding etiquette, and my boss was saying she got into a huge flamewar on some board by saying she didn't think anyone needed to be invited "and guest" if you didn't want to. What say you people?

I swear to god, all the tipping rules drive me batshit.

Matt, he is clearly going to fit in.

I will say, the rule of thumb in NYC is apparently tip everyone for everything, and more money than you'd think, but I don't necessarily follow that.

I don't think "and guest" is obligatory - no one should have to double a guest list (double the cost!). If the invitee can't possibly appear without guest, the option is to decline.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I don't think you need to invite everyone + guest, but then I have never understood taking a date other then someone you are dating to a wedding/any other event - if I am a guest at a wedding they should know if I am datign someone, right?

That's what we were saying!

This, too -- if I don't know the person's name, I don't need to have them at my wedding! Although my coworkers were saying living together/engaged/married as the barrier for bringing a date, I wouldn't be that strict.

Giving single people the option of bringing a guest is traditional, but I don't think it's a big faux pas to just invite your specific relatives and friends. Seating can be an issue, and the catering for wedding receptions is VERY pricey. Not inviting a known significant other would be more of a problem though.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Wait-- was she say that if you were a couple, you shouldn't have to include "and guest" or was she saying that if you were invited with an and guest, you HAVE to bring a guest?
