Can I bring soup?
no. We will have 5 VERY LARGE pots of home-made vegan/vegetarian soups. Plus a Chocolate Dessert Soup. Plenty for the whole crowd.
What can I bring?
You do not have to bring anything except your bowl & spoon (and a friend if you like). You would be welcome to bring a side dish, dessert, appetizer, beer, or bottle of wine.
Where can I park?
Here are the legal places to park around the Neelyhouse, including Waverly Church and Frick Park Auto. http://goo.gl/maps/eLDmV
Where do I put my donation to the Food Bank?
There will be a large vase on the main table to collect cash and checks made payable to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank (GPCFB). Or join our cause at http://www.causes.com/causes/566988-bigsoup 100% of the money collected will be given to the Food Bank.
When should I arrive?
The party has a revolving crowd. Some people like to come early and leave early, others come late and stay late, and there is a soup fanatic crowd who arrive at the beginning and don't leave until well after midnight. We love you all. This year we have decided to start a little earlier than years past, 6:30 PM.
How late is too late to arrive?
We have a great group of friends every year who have “gigs” on Saturday nights. There is always soup and crowd and food until midnight or so. The latest arrival in 2002 (Lenny Young, Soup Savant) was served at 2:34 AM.

Are kids allowed?
Yes, our kids will all be there. A number of friends will bring their kids. There will also be a crowd of couples who will get a babysitter just so that they can come, relax, and stay out later. With or without...we hope you will attend.
Do I need to RSVP? It would be nice. You can send us an email or If you are on Facebook, you can go to the event page at https://www.facebook.com/events/408628265815101/
Am I invited?
yes, people we don't even know come to this event!
May I bring my dog?
no. Our own pup (Sam) will fill the dog quota for the evening.
May I feed your dog Sam?
no. He will steal enough food on his own.
Is this site “overkill”?
Yes. Absolutely. We hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as we have enjoyed putting it together. much love, Stephen & Melissa
