Just got invited (last-minute) to a 70's-style pot luck tomorrow. Any ideas?

I was thinking of pineapple upside-down cake with pineapple rings and candied cherries, because I have a mix and it's easy. I was also thinking little meatballs with grape jelly.

It's got to be relatively cheap, and be fairly easy to prepare since I only have part of tonight or tomorrow morning. Drinks? Appetizers? Something to wow them with? It will only have to serve about 15-20, for lunch (the YMCA mom's group - the Y here turns 30 this month). Thanks!

 
I remember my college roommate making a "dump cake", and it was a disaster. how can you mess this

up? I think of these in the 70s. pie filling/canned pinepapple/dry cake mix/ 2 sticks butter over the top. bake. cobbler like. I usually add some real fruit to the mix and oatmeal nuts and coconut to the topping.
