yesterday i made my first appearance at a book club. as far as i know, it was the first book club that read BE. many thanks to katie, scott, brett and kristen for having me and especially to steven for opening up his home, preparing all that delicious food, and offering me his stunning 5th ave many-roomed-aptartment in exchange for my shoebox. i'll be taking him up on it in due course.

and to brett, who can finish the monday nytimes crossword puzzle in five minutes: well, today is monday. what did you get for #5 across?

here's some more photos from yesterday.
