A Con Suite is a just an open party that never ends

Things I learned last weekend include: I have enough party gear to equip a small con suite. Weakest area was large serving bowls -- I don't usually have potato chips and tortilla chips at my parties. I realize this may not come as a surprise to many of my friends.

(I'm aware of the trick of lining soda boxes (flats) with foil, or rolling down the sides of a bag of chips, or buying cheap serving bowls at the dollar store, or serving individual packages of chips instead of big bags in big bowls. As it happens, I have some large bowls and large platters, some of them concave; I just didn't bring everything.)
