Brian Francis Slattery might be pretty excited to hear that, as we are a book club full of literalists, Spaceman Blues not only inspired alien cupcakes,
but spaceship cookies as well!
(Or maybe he would be horrified. WHO KNOWS??)
Regardless, we all had a pretty good time, even though not everyone ===>
loved the book. Which I think is a pretty big thing to us to have overcome as a club. Obviously, now we are in the real meat & potatoes section of a book club, where certain people's true loyalties become apparent, and other people (The Lins, mostly) are never invited back because they are philistines.
Another one of my favorite things about book club is the way certain people get all dressed up and even put on fresh nail polish. Some people are REAL LADIES. Who can appreciate works of literature like Spaceman Blues. (Unlike some people.)

Also, Megan made her special Mexi Roll-Ups (pictured) and black bean dip!
All in all, an excellent showing, everyone! I really appreciate all of the people who made the trek to Brooklyn from other boroughs. And special thanks to Yen for the salmon roe--the first I've ever had--and Marc for the Jamisons, which made for a nice switch from bubbly when it became Sunday afternoon, and really served to drive home the idea that Sundays are for relaxing.

I'm Jewish! I can't be a philistine!
Besides I look good in the photo.
