I agree that hotlucks are great places to socialize and meet people we may 
otherwise never meet.  I can count on learning a few new things every time.

I think one of the things that keeps them fun is the way they are more of a 
convergence than a competition - people work to bring things together 
instead of working to out-do each other.  In other spheres like bbq or chili 
there are competitive events, and the atmosphere just seems different there. 
  At a hotluck, there is no prize.  There is, however, everything from the 
hottest of the hot to something cooling and mild, with no heat at all.  You 
can put yourself anywhere between the two.
