Frequently-Answered-Questions
What's a PCAM?
The Prograssive Culianry Arts Movement (PCAM) is a tradition that started in February of 1993. On an occasional basis (quarterly, at this point),
we provide our friends and acquaintances with a multi-course meal, and in exchange all we ask is your company, cheerful conversation, and
that you bring either drinks (alcoholic or non-), dessert, or Portable Art.
Which of the three should I bring?
If you make your own desert, drinks, or portable art, bring that.
If you don't, flip a three-sided coin.
What do you mean by Portable Art?
Something small enough to bring with you, and something that other
folks can enjoy. This might be a poem to read, a painting or sculpture
to leave about, or a musical instrument that you will play later in the
evening. Please do not bring anything easily breakable.
Should I let you know if I'm coming or not?
Absolutely. Please let Ian Fisk know if you would like to attend by Thursday, November 4th.
Earlier is better.
Can I bring friends?
Yes, provided you let us know. One or two will probably be fine.
Are you kid friendly?
Human children are welcome. Since alcohol will be present, children who
are old enough to want to drink but too young to do so legally must be watched closely.
What kind of food is served?
Mostly Vegetarian. We will endeavor to accommodate vegans
and other restricted diets, provided we are warned in advance.
I'm allergic to furry creatures that are not human. Will this be a
problem?
Be warned: Ian and Lorin share their home with Sam E. the cat.
