The Winter Solstice. Not only the shortest day of the year, but also the traditional time when the majority of wine and beer made during the fall was finally fermented and ready for drinking.  The reversal of the Sun’s ebbing presence also symbolized a new beginning, the rebirth of the sun gods.

In honor of the Winter Solstice, I hosted a Bruce’s Buddies Supper Social.  And with the eminent Mayan Apocalypse fast approaching, I suggested a white-elephant gift exchange.  Kelly [happily] ended up with a box of Nerds.

Threw a Supper Social in honor of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.  What better way to celebrate the Los Angeles summer than with a BBQ in the bountiful yard of an old victorian house in Angelino Heights.  Thanks to buddy Kathleen Miles for hosting.

The Summer Solstice.  Not only the longest day of the year, but also the traditional magic hour for meeting new lovers.

Leap Day. The extra magical day for you to take chances. “Real life is for March.  Nothing on leap day counts”.  So I threw a Supper Social in honor of Leap Day 2012, hosted by John Isaac Watters in Echo Park.  Lots of new friends!

John Isaac Watters hosted the latest Supper Social: Brunch Edition at his house in Echo Park.  There were lots of donuts. 

“Bohemianism thrives on adversity.  You have to have a concentration of people practicing their arts, people with superior endowments who don’t necessarily fit into society and who are in fact often engaged in rebellions against convention, creating a symbiotic society where not only can they go and eat at each others’ houses when they’re hungry, but where they can also spark each other and be each others’ critical audience.”   -  Jake Zeitlin

Launched Bruce’s Buddies with a Supper Social on the roof.  Cultivating community, one potluck at a time.  

To many more!
