That is a beautiful way of rephrasing the at-times-inappropriate 'what do you do?' I echo the suggestions of asking how other guests know the host or hostess, and compliments do seem to be a good way to get a conversation started.

Asking about travel is nice too; whether other guests have traveled or where they would love to go. You may find someone who has been somewhere you have been, is from your home state, or dream locale. You could end up just swapping crazy stories about airport mishaps or the strangest conversation you've had/heard while on public transportation!

Great post! My collection keeps growing (hard to pass on the "we need the space so these are on sale at 50 for $5) and I've been on the look out for appropriate storage. As others have mentioned, milk crates just don't cut it! As the quality of my collection grows, I need to invest in something more permanent than filmsy boxes-thanks!
