Location: McCormick Brown Living Room

Event Captains: Stephanie Yu (styu@mit.edu) and Emily Yang (epyang@mit.edu)

Event Description

Introduce new peoples to the awesomeness of ATS by feeding them food and presenting a captivating array of pictures and soundbites!

Used 2 large suitcases to transport stuff from Chinatown C-Mart

Dumplings (that we transformed into potstickers!) - 11 bags
Scallion pancakes – 320 pieces (8 packs)
Spring rolls – 12 boxes
Steamed buns (custard, red bean, sesame) – 8 packs
Random snacks – wafers, shrimp crackers, rice crackers, etc.
Drinks – 3 bottles drinks + 2 pots of milk tea (had extra, about a stephanie-water-heater worth)

Around 40 people attended (definitely way under what we estimated from the fb event)

Timing was a big issue. Many people said the event was too early so they didn't want to come. Consider making it during a weekend evening or late afternoon.
The presentation that Norman and Staly did was AMAZING! Definitely a keeper :)
Lack of stoves in the country kitchen this year... had to get creative with things that plug into the wall
