Bad for me.  I have a class after work that day.  The following Tuesday
night (July 12 would be fine).

This sounds fine.  Some would just have to tell how to get there.  And what
is Tang (other than the drink of astronauts!)

This works for me.  Would there be any way to re-heat food (microwave?).  Or
will all the food end up cold dishes?

Sounds cool.  We could do video pot lucks (pot lucks with a video
showing).  Maybe we can dig up a tv\vcr for showings.  Or if there
weren't too many people I could volunteer my apt in Medford for a couple
of such get together. If there enough MSTies (Mystery Science Theatre 3000
fans) in the group, maybe we could do a MST3K showing I have four years worth
of it on tape!  This could also be done for Dr. Who (I have about 1/2 of all
the episodes on tape).  Trashy & good SF movies are available too.  or none
of the above!

Opinions, sirs?
