Dinner Parties in a Degenerate Age

[GuitarWind21]

I used to host dinner parties with my friends for a while back in my hometown. We were all in our early twenties, lived nearby each other in the same quadrant of the city, and I had a passion for cooking. It was awesome having all my friends over, and everyone enjoyed whatever recipe I was trying. Sometimes we would put together a typical birthday party, too, and I'd always bake the cake. This was when our whole community was all of the friends we had made in high school and friends we introduced each other to from some different high school in the same city. We were yet to meet more people and move to new places for work or school. Some stayed in the same place longer than anyone else.

All of this was pre-smartphone. I wonder if there's another group of artsy weirdos who all get together for dinner parties, jam sessions and such as they start their adult lives out there somewhere.

Yes this is quite typical especially while you're in College out in fraternities and clubs and what not. I remember while I was in college, I joined this Bible study group and there would always be dinner parties and pizza parties, yet in the end once that was done, we stopped hanging out with each other and all connection was lost. I think the best form of connection is usually on a smaller basis....say like one on one coffee meeting or three people at the very least because those are the most intimate.
