Hosting my first dinner in over a year

It’s been over a year since I last hosted a dinner.

But when my friend Sherry told me she was in town, I thought it time to bring ’em back. And then I found out my buddies Clay and Phil also in town, so double-bonus.

It’s funny – I’ve realized more and more that the job of a host is very simple:

1. Curate
2. Set expectations (in my case, a stronger focus on the personal size combined with an irreverent approach)
3. Get the hell outta the way

Food is nice. Ambience is important (we were in the “Swords & Pistols” room). But the people who show are key.

I am pretty grateful of knowing so many dope-ass humans.

Oddly enough I got this email today too:

Go host your own dinners.
