The party, you could say, is over.

Yeah, it's like goodie bags. It's where you go to get all the little stuff to put in a bag that nobody's going to want.

Yeah, we did though.

Yeah, we did though.

Only 4.1% of Americans attended or hosted a social event on an average weekend or holiday in 2023. This is a 35% decrease since 2004. Wow.

Yeah, like, I feel like in my ideal world, it's, in a lot of ways, it isn't like this, but it's like Mad Men, you know, those, that party he throws where they've got that, like, remember in that era, the, like, sunken in living rooms that have, like, the little step down, and everybody just has, like, a cocktail. A conversation pit. Yeah, and it's just, like, sitting and chatting.

That's my dream, is if socializing meant everybody just came to my house, and we just sat around talking, and like watched and talked and mingled. But I also just feel like, and maybe this informs what's happening, or maybe this is just my mental illness, but I feel like inviting somebody over especially in New York City, is a cop out by me.

I feel like it's me being like, want to come to my house? It's like, no, of course they don't. They're in New York City. They want to go out to a bar or a restaurant. And I'm like, why don't you just come over to my house?

And like sit around and watch like sports and control the volume ourselves and like order some food and hang out. But that feels like an, I don't know, that feels like a cheap, it's like get up. Get dressed. Leave, Katie. Get out of the house. But I would love if people... I'd throw a party every week if you guys would come over. I would come over. I love house parties.

You have to throw them. Your parents have to go away. You have to throw them. And then everyone shows up and they still don't talk to you. That's my experience. They're just here for the house.
