We are planning to have a celebration of Laura's life on the afternoon of July 14th in Raleigh, North Carolina. Our plan is to have a street party on Thayer Drive, which will give us plenty of space for the event. We will have some room for out-of-town guests to stay, so contact me directly if you would like to discuss this option.

 

Feel free to suggest any ideas you have for the party itself. Something that I think would be fun (and Laura would appreciate) is to have an unusual foods and drinks table. Laura was an adventurous eater, so I would like to have a table with interesting items like durian, Maramite, Peruvian nut clusters, dubbel zout licorice, and any other food adventures that remind people of Laura. To wash this all down, we'll have caipirinhas, civet coffee, and some proper Absinthe if I can find it. This of course will be in addition to all the normal foods and drinks.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
