The second 2nd Friday was all sorts of fun. Not too far from my imaginings, there was something of a crush in the kitchen. The solution to everyone gathering in the kitchen is apparently to invite more people than can fit in one's kitchen. This encourages the claustrophobic folk to spread out into the wider open spaces to be found elsewhere in the house. Very much as hoped for and imagined, there were interesting and appealing people in any direction one turned. The quality of hostess conversation was periodically sacrificed to the need to track down more forks, additional coffee cups, and similar tasks, but what fun to have a house just full of people to serve!
I am already looking forward to the next shindig. We have officially grown from the "gathering" to the "shindig". There is, alas, not sufficient space indoors here to allow for the mother-of-all parties: the "hootenanny". That edition of 2nd Friday will have to either wait for Spring and an outdoor location or the volunteering of a larger space in which to gather.

Isn't that the best feeling when everyone comes together just for the gladness of it?
