I can't wait to be there, via Zoom! I'm like you, Jane - I prefer good, old-fashioned books with pages that I can scribble on.
Ugh - I couldn't believe it...except, of course, I could, and you all predicted it! I was so ready for the show this morning, obnoxiously singing "I wear black on the outside, because black is how I feeeeeeel on the insiiiiide" as I picked out a dress to wear. And then, while I was at work, I heard my phone buzz and it was Jeff, my wonderful fiancé:
"Babe... I hate telling you this but I was just looking up information on Foxwoods for parking and it says the show is cancelled. ☹️ 🫂"
Gahhh!!! It turns out that some lunatic threatened to shoot Morrissey while he was onstage during a Canadian concert. While said (American...surprise!) lunatic was arrested, Morrissey decided to cancel tonight's show, here in CT, and an upcoming show in Boston, as well. Oh well - at least I got to see him once, when I was in my 30's, and I get to spend Sunday morning with all of you! Yay!!! I couldn't be more excited! <3
I groaned out loud when I saw the Morrissey news yesterday! At least this time he had a somewhat reasonable excuse for canceling. Does that help? 🥴 I saw him 15 or so years ago. A friend was a huge fan and I took her as a gift when she finished her masters degree. Part of the gift was that I would refrain from making fun of Moz for the entire night. The joke was on me, because I had a really good time. I’m sorry your show didn’t happen.
That's a coincidence because when Corynne told people to email her she didn't put the ".com" on the end of her email address and I think she and I've had this conversation before where she doesn't think it's necessary to put it on and I thought it was. Really seriously though, what do I know? I'm glad you got it right in the end. So so happy my other cohost will be there. See you bright and early!!
I’ll be there via Zoom! And will properly rsvp in the morning. I love a real book but do most of my reading on a vintage iPad mini because I can’t have nice things. Jane, your ice cream incident is in my wheelhouse. No matter how hard I try I’ve always flailed my way through life, leaving a trail of coffee stains in my wake. My clumsiness is how I got two brand new knees at the baby age of 49. It’s a lifestyle.
This might be the first time I’ve ever finished a book club book in time! I have 23% left, which I can knock out on Saturday. It’s hitting close to home in so many ways.
Major love to commenter Beatrice for liking this post within seconds after I published it at 11:37 PM (my time, at least). Thank you, sweetie!

Also, I am an idiot: I forgot to add the ".com" to the email address when attempting to email Corynne. I shall try this again, right now! 🤦♀️
