Dinner Parties

I'm at one right now and we're in a bit of a lull. This is something I need to do more often, especially once we get out to Seattle.Somehow we stopped doing these things. Don't know why... But somehow we stopped going to and throwing dinner parties.Open up a bottle of wine, or two. Cook dinner. Eat dinner. Talk.So, what's a good way to get something going in a new town? Part of it is just making new friends... Then talking about something interesting.
