 ed to know.  There are more details below.\n\n?????????????????????????????
 ???????????????????????????????????????\n\n\nThe address goes out 1-3 days 
 before the event.  \n\nCheck out http://littlebroswine.com & some other sit
 es listed below for some white & sparkling wine ideas.  \n\nWe have  posted
  a list of suggested white or sparkling wines and appetizers to bring to th
 is event  with more to be posted shortly\, you can check out the files we h
 ave so far here http://wine.meetup.com/461/files/ .  We will be asking ever
 yone to bring one bottle of $20+ retail white or sparkling wine and an appe
 tizer that serves 20+ people to share.  The list should be helpful to those
  who are wine/food selection challenged.  For now we have some resource web
  pages posted below to help you get started.  You don't have to stick to th
 e list but it will be a helpful guide for most for those of you who are sel
 ection challenged.  There will also be a  list of what not to bring'.  Many
  of the wines on the listed will be on sale right now.*  \n\n$2-7 event don
 ation for host provided "stuff" \, host paid help and clean up. We will hav
 e bottled water and soda.  We will be asking you to post what you are bring
 ing in both the wine & food categories.  If you do this and bring a white/s
 parkling wine that appears to be $20+ retail it's a $2 entry donation pleas
 e.  Any other $20+ retail white/non-sparkling wine & it's $4.  Just post th
 at you are bringing any kind of wine & aappetizer and it's $4.  Forget to p
 ost anything & it's $7\; (so please post your contributions so everyone can
  feel the excitement of trying something new).  Show up empty handed & you 
 will be directed to the corner market to purchase your contributions.  Ever
 yone gets "tagged" so yes we will know if you didnt follow the rules.  (Som
 eone almost always shows up empty handed and wants to get in for $7.  It's 
 a party deflater to turn them away so please post something so we know you 
 know what to do\; thanks!)\n\n\nThe game will be the usual no rake\, no-lim
 it hold'em cash game with unlimited $60-$100 buy-ins for the first table an
 d maybe $40-$60 buy-ins for the second table.*** Blinds will be $1-$2 & $.5
 0-$1 respectively. I can host up to 2-3 tables for the larger potluck parti
 es. If the blinds are important to you put your preference in your sign-up 
 posting.   \n\nWe have new custom poker tables made by Curtis Roll\, (real 
 works of art)\, high quality Modiano Italian playing cards\, plenty of chai
 rs and nice chips.    \n\nArrive anytime after 7:00 PM. Cards in the air as
  soon as 5 folks sit down at a table &\;/or roughly 7:30ish  \n\nNo smoking
  anywhere near the house. It's semi legal to smoke on the sidewalk in front
  of the house.     \n\n\n*  Hint\, if you spent less than $15 for the  wine
 \, (even if it is on sale)\,  it's a no-no and you will be directed to the 
 store around the corner to buy a replacement contribution.  Please make sur
 e your appetizer contribution can really serve 20+ or\, yes you guessed it\
 , you will be ordering a replacement contribution at the corner deli.  It's
  only fair to those who are following the guidelines to make this a fun\, t
 asty event.  Remember post your contribution\, follow the guidelines and sa
 ve $5 off the $7 entry donation.   We do this to assist in planning and to 
 help ensure that folks know what they are supposed to bring to make this a 
 fun filled tasty adventure for all. \n\n*** You can re-buy when you get dow
 n to 50% or less of the top $ buy-in for your table. If you bust-out/go to 
 zero/$0 you can buy-in for 150% of the top buy-in for your table  \n\n\n\n\
