OMG - if my eyes could drool, they would be. I cannot believe it’s been almost TWO YEARS since my last dinner. The last dinner was so stinkin’ cute and good that I haven’t felt a strong enough pull toward another until The Meanwhile Block asked me to do a kick-off to their Sunday Suppers event that will take place all Summer long. Fortitude and Finn x the Elan Studio is bringing in that Italian Summer to the Meanwhile Block, and it’s not to be missed.
These dinners started in order to gather people together who I featured in individual posts on this blog in 2017. After the first few smaller events, there was a whole collection of people asking how to get to be a part of them, and it prompted me toward the need for human connection while breaking bread. There is something so grounding, humbling, and whole about coming together and enjoying essential portions of life while talking to people we know and those we’ve never met but have common values within, filling the need for connection that sits at the center of each of us.
When the Meanwhile Block asked me to sprinkle a little of my magic for the kick-off dinner to their Summer Series, tucked into the alley of the Block, I couldn’t resist.
Only the first dinner, June 30th, will be curated by Fortitude and Finn. All of these dinners are open to anyone who would like to be present. Please stay tuned to Meanwhile Block’s channels for further summer details. If you long for human connection, these summer evenings are for you. For people who feel like they want to or need to be with others, people who want to be outside, people who want to be around others and enjoy the beauty our city holds.
