I would love to start having dinner parties once a month or so... maybe with a group of friends, and we each bring one interesting friend or something. Kind of like Dinner for Schmucks, but in reverse.

The ideal guest would be doing something interesting or cool, and would mix well with the other people there. Some people from the internet, some from publishing, some designers... that's about everyone we know. It'd be fun to also have actors, directors, authors, and academics... but I don't know many. In any case, our ideal dinner party would be a fun eclectic mix of people, and there'd be a lot of good wine and (catered) food. Plus while we're dreaming, let's have a maid come by the next morning!

Do you throw (or regularly attend) dinner parties? If you threw a dinner party, what kind of people would you want to attend?
