Attendance
About 30 people came; the lower turnout might have been partially due the Bad Ideas Festival being held at the same time, combined with the heavy snow and Leadershape (so we were missing several exec members). Also, perhaps more people would come if the event coincided with lunch or dinner times.
We actually ended up with quite a bit of leftovers
Other Notes
Preparation takes a long time! We started at around 11:30/12PM and still started slightly late. Also, we need to make sure volunteers arrive early enough to prepare their dishes.
Bring a cart (or more people) to go shopping, you will need all that space and more!
It might be fun and inexpensive to have a pearl milk tea station next year; people can add their own tapioca balls, jellies, or flavored popping balls, then pour milk tea with their own syrup mixtures.
