Inviting the World to Dinner

This is a fascinating idea. I wouldn't want to do it in a private home, but it could be great fun in a common building at an intentional community or a university or some other semi-public place.

Inviting The World To Dinner
Every week for the past 30 years, I've hosted a Sunday dinner in my home in Paris. People, including total strangers, call or e-mail to book a spot. I hold the salon in my atelier, which used to be a sculpture studio. The first 50 or 60 people who call may come, and twice that many when the weather is nice and we can overflow into the garden.

"Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.' So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests."

That book has some good parts in it. I wish more people would pay attention to those, rather than the hysterically violent parts.

I have been wanting to do the same in Chicago for years. YEARS. It is a long standing dream of mine.
