An update for Samin Nosrat's ice cream social in Oakland,
"UPDATE: I didn't anticipate that this would be re-posted on all sorts of event aggregation sites, but it has. So though all kind, sweet people are welcome, there is no way I can afford to buy ingredients for all of you out there, so if you are coming and have never met me or corresponded with me in any way (or are not the guest of someone who has), please plan to contribute at least $5 per person to help cover my costs. Thank you! And if I've never met you, please do make sure to come introduce yourself to me!"
