Not this one! He just came over and said he had already met with the city and that he’d be printing flyers this weekend, but wanted to give a heads up since he saw us outside. [b]Said he throws a big party every year (which we’ve seen) and thought he’d just throw a block party this year.[/b] [/quote]
Ah-ha! Now this makes sense. Bingo, OP. He is clever. He’s found a way to guilt you all into funding his annual shindig. Don’t fall for it![/quote]
This may be how all his previous big parties operated. He expanded the guest list to the whole block, so it was unclear to new invitees the process. To me it seems like he’s striking a balance between hosting everyone for free or forcing everyone attending into a per head cost. It allows people to decide how to participate (amount of food, drinks to consume) and to pay what they are comfortable with without feeling indebted to him.

OP - just go and decide at the moment what to pay based on what you end up eating and drinking and how fancy it is. [/quote]
