When I moved to Cincinnati in March 2007, one thing I missed most immediately about London were the salon-style gatherings, hosted by various friends, which are held several times a month in that city. Whether it was hearing an African immigrant’s perspective on Live8 and getting to pick his brain afterwards, or discussing the topic “What is consent?: Sex, consumer society, tedious jobs, taxes and bad government, did we always really say ‘yes’?” with philosophers, historians, and plebs like myself, I always had a blast. That I also learned something and engaged in truly thought-provoking conversation was pure gravy.
The salon format works as well in cities like Mumbai, New York, and Rio as it does in London. I’m guessing it will work pretty well in Cincinnati, too.
