I wrote this book about the 20 businesses I have started throughout my life, to document the mistakes made and lessons learned.

I probably won't write another one like this for at least 10 years, so I thought I would throw a party to celebrate!

Since we don't celebrate as often as we should, I'm throwing a dance party too. I’ve wanted to have a dance party for such a long time, and I know we all need something cheerful to look forward to in this sun-deprived city of ours.

Attire: Casual. This is not a dress-up party. *Bonus points for leg warmers and off-the-shoulder sweatshirts.

Food & Drink: There will be a no-host bar to serve your favorite drinks. I'll provide some small bites and sweets and, of course, be ready to sign some books!

I couldn't believe this venue when I saw it. It was so "me"—the wallpaper, the white sofas, the textured walls... this was it!

My friend, Lynn, negotiated a deal and we set the date. It is the hot place to go in Seattle right now (if you're 21 and sexy). We get to hang there on a Tuesday night and play an '80s-inspired dance mix. I promise there will be no Ke$ha.
