Ok, ok. So it truly was an excellent meeting, but we missed many of you! Excellent, despite the fact that a few of us didn't do our homework, myself included. Nonetheless, it was great discussing Poirot's gumshoeing and the Chesterton piece. Comparing and contrasting Poirot and Holmes, as well as Christie and Conan Doyle, were lively topics.
If nothing else, I've at least accomplished two goals with last night's meeting. 1. Eating at BlackFinn (delicious and absolutely supreme service). I was worried the staff at the more-upscale-than-usual BlackFinn would frown upon a gaggle of book clubbers taking up space. Not the case! The staff was friendly, the food adequate, and the atmosphere pretty decent.
I'm very much looking forward to our next assignment, and I promise to not shirk my duties this month and actually put my eyes to page. That said, let's not wait a whole month before getting together again. I know our schedules are all equally hectic, but I suggest a happy hour sometime, or even a weekend get together. I'm happy to host a gathering any time. It would be alot (that's for you, Amanda!!!) of fun.
See you all soon,
Ta ta.

Well said, Kyle, well said. BlackFinn was classy enough to make me feel like a grown up, but not classy enough to completely bankrupt me or make me feel unwelcome. That server was so nice and polite (I gave her a rave review on the online feedback survey), I've never gotten separate-checks that quickly before.
ReplyDeleteI would also totally be down with a happy hour or weekend thing sometime soon. Maybe when the weather gets warmer, we could do a weekend bookclub meeting at Jack's boathouse and grill and drink beer and kayak or some s***. The sky's the limit in the classics book club!
