Are you deliberately scheduling this against Thursday Night Curry (which
at least some people who might otherwise attend would want to go to), or
is it accidental?  

Perhaps it'd make sense to have it a touch earlier in the evening, and
then people could do both.

Also do you mean Thursday as in tomorrow, or Thursday as in next week?

FWIW, there are proper key signing party protocols, complete with
software, for doing these sorts of things.

Photo ID, at least one piece normally needs to be government issued, and
preferable at least two pieces of photo id.  It is, of course, up to the
people you're exchanging keys with whether they'll believe you're who
you say you are with less ID than that.

Reading something like:

might help with the organising.
