I think we're going to be OK then. I'm sure we'll have a #fudbus channel 
open and people mapping out nearby food spots... when the "oh, this 
restaurant is near *HINT-HINT*" traffic starts rising on the channel 
(around lunchtime and around dinnertime and etc) we'll make a stop, and 
ask vegetarians for help/preferences, and all that good stuff. :)

Oh, I am *so* looking forward to the FUDBus.
