So we need to re-ignite our sorry excuse for a book club, don'tcha think? What do you think about Patti Smith's Just Kids, her memoir of hanging with Robert Mapplethorpe in NYC back in the day? Target: 8 Aug
weren't we supposed to read Ceejay's book next?
sorry if there was something i was supposed to do on that 
I think Ceejay's was next. I've been wanting to read Just Kids for a while.
I'm all for Ceejays, I've had it for months! I thought it had been re-scheduled from May until "to be determined" and I hadn't heard anything more definite. Is it "on" for August 8th, then?
the order doesn't matter, just whatever is best for ceejay's schedule... we want her to be to join us!
also can we go back to Mondays?
and thanks for doing the plurk coy, I apologize for dropping the ball, I've had guests over pretty much nonstop since late April
my friend is leaving today and she is the last scheduled guest I have, so I should be back to normal now!
yep back to mondays is cool with me, thanks for accommodating me on that!!
CeejayWriter can you come revel with us on Aug 8th?
Do you meet at 6pm slt? I should be fine and would loooove to meet with y'all!
I'm ok with Mondays but can we keep the earlier meeting time?
"earlier" is 6pm instead of 7pm, right? that works for me on Monday (of which August 8th is one)
Yes, 6 SLT over 7 SLT.
loki could never make it 
he's still at work then (west coast)
he's still at work then (west coast)
I can't stay up so late on a work night, it kills me the next day.
would splitting the difference (6:30) help at either end of the continent?
I will check with loki, thanks. he is our only west coaster currently, at least until owly comes back
I guess we only skipped june, but it feels like forever. would you guys be interested in meeting in July just to share what we've been reading lately? not with a common book to discuss?
happy to! We do probably also have time to sprinkle in a movie for July btw
Could do a two-fer on July 25, e.g.
Oh yes! let's
Yes, splitting might help! Also yes to July.
yes to july and the earlier time! 
I need to read more. I should pick up the next book. (Also West Coaster)
yay sehra!!
loki says 6:30 is fine (he might miss the beginning of our meetings sometimes)
Another West Coaster here. Sadly I can't make it before 7pm SLT due to my commute.
Yes, we do plenty of foot dragging!

I've had Just Kids on my shelf forever so will be thrilled if we do that one eventually
so are we on for july 25: what we've been reading + a movie, august 8: "The Flight to Brassbright", by Lori Alden Holuta and Kenneth Holuta, and september 12 "Just Kids"?
Sounds like a plan! Re: movie, I had been thinking that Run Lola Run might be a fun choice for this group, if not now then sometime. I see it's available on Amazon, though not Prime, and cheaper on Vudu
Plus of course misscat's mysterious streaming sources 
and your public library

excellent! I haven't seen that movie in forever, I'd be up for discussing it with the group !
I updated the calendar, I'll add the movie title!
Perhaps the promise of a redhaired protagonist will lure in Polly… or God help us: perhaps even Roxy 
Oh good movie choice!
