I really enjoy cooking for people I love, and throwing a dinner party that runs late. A good playlist is key, but if you really want to set a tone, I highly suggest projecting a film (without the audio) to sync with it. My personal favorite is “Le Planet Sauvage.”

Pairing food with the theme of a film allows you to practice making different cuisines and sparks curiosity in the film's time period, location, social and artistic movements.

A restaurant around the corner from us started doing private dinners, and with my wife’s 30th birthday happening I asked to see what the process would be like. We packed 14 of our closest friends into this gorgeous, tiny little refurbished car garage filled with flowers and wine and Italian music and proceeded to have one of the best five course meals of my life. Moments like last night sort of get you in a “maybe this is what life is all about” moods. There’s an artist I like that said all of life’s essence & purpose can be found in the sound of wine glasses clinging together at a table filled with good friends and good food. I think that nights like last night cement those sentiments as truth.

Don't make it fancy. Don't overthink it.
You don't even have to cook.
It's just about creating and protecting a physical space for beloved luminaries to gather and connect and be themselves.
Bonus points if you give rise to a literary movement and cultural renaissance in the process.

Between socializing, traveling, working, and just dealing with life… we drain our wells. It’s imperative to refill it. For me, if I am on a big creative output, like working on an album, touring, etc… it’s really important to go to live shows, an exhibition, something to refill that creative hole I’ve expended. If I have a big week of socializing, it means spending a day in bed and not looking at my phone or socializing with anyone…losing myself in a book or binging an entire series behind my duvet.

Life gets incredibly busy and hectic… taking a moment to ground yourself is important. Someone once told me if you lie on your back with your knees bent for 10 minutes, it realigns your spine… but I find it realigns my brain as well. I don’t have the focus, dedication, or patience to meditate, so I do this instead. If you're able to find a patch of moss, it just brings it to the next level. Don’t question it, just try.
