I liked this book a lot. Here are some notes I made of my favorite parts:
The art of gathering
Court in Brooklyn red hook
Page one nyt meeting
More specific meetups more successful
Tea - how is this gathering different from future gatherings
Tips on finding purpose
Zoom out
Drill baby drill - why are you doing what you’re doing
What problem does your gathering solve
What do you want to be different because you gathered
Exclusion - By closing the door you create the room
Who Fit and fulfill the purpose of the gathering
8-12 people intimate
30 party
150 still see everyone (Dunbar tribe number)
The environment
The chateau principle
Displacement
Chill is you caring for you masquerading as you caring for them
Generous authority - exerting authority for the GUESTS ( ex Alamo drafthouse) - how long do you wait?
Capotes masked party
Pop up rules
Dine on blanc
Pop up etiquete (late push ups)
Prepping people for a gathering (sleep no more)
Sprout stories
An invitation to intimacy but depth is a choice (swimming pool)
Good controversy
Heat map (what avoiding that don’t think they are avoiding- sacred cows - what goes unsaid - what protecting and why)

So cheesey... it felt like ice breaker/youth group energy.

A delightful reimagining of running an event. I like that the "rules" presented aren't hard and fast, but moldable. I enjoyed reading this book.

Nice ideas on how to build up a group. They identified the people
Problem when the host doesn’t direct the conversation and controversy goes out of control
Fight club analogy was nice but doesn’t work for family dinners. The history of why we don’t talk about sex politics and religion. That was interesting but it didn’t help create a situation when we can stop crazy conspiracy theories from taking over the meal/ mood/ taboo.

Such a simple book and concept, but I continue to keep thinking about it. I find myself bringing it up a lot to strangers too. Definitely worth reading if you’d like to enrich your gatherings.
