Anyone know details re. price on the 3rd Ward pig roast? Do you pay to get in, or pay by the plate?

I just spoke to the folks at 3rd Ward about the pig roast -- it's free to get into the event, and food will be "cheap cheap."

Don't expect big ol' plates of pork, on the other hand. A 3rd Ward staffer wrote to tell me, "We will be serving pork tacos, Mexican coleslaw, corn on the cob and beans. Everything will be priced per item and nothing will cost more than $6."
