DINNER PARTY PROJECT

A few months ago, I left my job at a media company in Venice and started working on freelance projects out of my apartment.

There are great things about working from home, particularly in Los Angeles:

  • No commute.
  • The ability to make my own hours.
  • No co-workers heating up fish in the company microwave.

But some days, especially when I’m in the middle of working on a big project, I can go all day without having an in-the-flesh conversation with another human being. And after a long day of doing that, it’s not much fun sitting down to eat a delicious home-cooked meal by yourself.

That’s why I’ve decided to start what I’m calling the Dinner Party Project.

Here’s the deal: if you live in LA and are willing to come down to Brentwood, I’ll make dinner (see above for a photo of something I cooked) as long as you stay and share it with me. If you’d want to bring a friend along, that’s fine, too. Just let me know in advance and bring a few bucks to cover the cost of the extra food.

I know there are a lot of interesting people on Tumblr, especially out here in Los Angeles. I want to start meeting more of you and reconnecting with those of you I already know in real life.
