It is BYOB and potluck, and RSVP is required. There is also a signup sheet for those who would like to share a story or performance, or bring food or drink."Let's send Joe off in style!" the organizers say. "Anyone is welcomed to give a eulogy, tell a story, submit photos for a slideshow, perform, or create some fun and quirky shenanigans to celebrate our friend Joe. Sing a song, perform drag, have a Joe-style fashion show, juggle grenades on a unicycle wearing a flaming codpiece, whatever... BRING IT!"Donations to New Farm, which is a nonprofit, are also encouraged.
