The regular Friday night Gathering, Baltimore's traveling food truck rally, is scheduled to return to Stratford University in Little Italy on Oct. 18.

This Gathering introduces a new wrinkle, or option, that event producers might keep as a semi-permanent thing if it goes well.

On Friday -- in addition to the regular dining option, which consists of finding a truck that's selling something you want to eat and buying it from them -- there will be a VIP option.

UPDATE: The VIP option has been postpotned until Nov. 1, when the Gathering comes to McHenry Row. The Oct. 18 Gathering at Stratford University is still on, but without the VIP option.
