The Dinner Party

Where to begin … well GB and I were invited along with a few other people to enjoy an amazing Mexican meal and great conversation through a friend of GB’s. The evening began with everyone telling the rest of the table who they are, where they come from and how they ended up here at dinner as many of us had never met each other. This took a long time because as people tell their stories other people had questions for them and we would get off topic and so on and so forth. Once we got through all the introductions we moved on to different topics of interest – free will, physics, analysis, the banality of mainstream porn, the inability to lie – you know the usual light dinner conversation.

One of the big topics of conversation was Memes. What are memes you ask? Well … at this point it is best that I refer you to this site, or just do a google search, because if I try explaining memes I would just muck it up or confuse you more than I was (at times) confused. It was the real reason we were there, one of the guests is working on his degree and is studying memes and meme brain maps. He put out a call for volunteers and our host agreed to be interviewed, but instead of just having this guy over to map his memes, he had all of us over for dinner first, then the two of them went into the office and did the interview and before we knew it they came back and joined the conversation.

Lots more I could tell about the evening, but really, when you host or attend a great dinner party all you really have to say is, I was at this great dinner party last night and anyone you tell (or anyone who reads) nods their head because at some point we have all been a part of one of those great evenings.

Tonight … Pancakes! For shrove Tuesday … come on people shrove Tuesday.
