Facebook recently reminded me that three years ago, we co-hosted a Memorial Day weekend living room concert featuring talented friends visiting from Michigan.

\nI’ve been planning living room shows for about five years<\/a>, some in our Brooklyn apartment, some in friends’ homes, all featuring live music by musicians we support\u00a0with strongly encouraged donations.

\nNow I’m considering\u00a0what other forms these intimate creative parties\u00a0might take.
\nI love hosting live music<\/a> — there’s something special about hearing a performance in a private space, not a bar where people might mostly be there to drink or a professional venue where you might be far from the stage, but a cozy room where maybe you’re sitting on the floor three feet from the performers,\u00a0everyone is respectful and attentive, and you’ll have the chance to talk to the musicians over drinks.
\nLately I have been pondering what else\u00a0I can do to add other kinds of creativity — showing art on the walls<\/a> while musicians perform, hosting writers for\u00a0a reading<\/a> in between music sets — to create a sort of interdisciplinary salon, where perhaps the creatives inspire one other or the ideas align somehow?
\nOr maybe I try something different entirely — a home-based supper club idea<\/a> with food or cocktails as the focus instead of music? At one\u00a0of our living room shows earlier this year, guests brought incredible food and drink to share so maybe that could also combine with music.
\nI’m not looking to stop hosting musicians but to keep the format fresh. These events only work as long as our friends remain excited enough to show up and get their wallets out for the performers, so mixing up the options might appeal to friends who aren’t as passionate about music.
\nWhat kinds of in-home events have you enjoyed? What would you like to attend?<\/strong>
