Schpilkes+

+What do you mean you don't want to hold it at the country club!? Who's ever heard of a Bar Mitzvah party not being held at a country club?!
++Yeah, what she said!! What about my reputation?

~What's in it for me?
~~Whatever you want, honey.  I trust your judgment.

On The Campaign Trail:

The candidates advocates met yesterday at the museum for the first in a series of smackdowns debates on the issues facing voters. The participants were:

Me: an experienced AUM visitor and supporter with a long track record of enjoying the unique characteristics of this urban museum constructed entirely from recycled materials

Schpilkes: a newcomer to the scene who never had a passport before last year had never previously visited the AUM to which she was so vociferously opposed, apparently on principle

The Debate:

The parties met at the museum entrance, which buzzes with the activities of patrons as well as the excitement of enormous dragons, serpents and tunnels constructed out of everything from recycled tile to rebar.  They passed by walls built out of abandoned stainless steel restaurant containers, floors made out of recycled bricks, and windows made from recycled glass blocks.  Making their way to the third floor party hall, they saw a bar rescued from a condemned hotel, complete with parquet flooring; a maze built of intricate terra cotta tiles, columns, mouldings, pilasters, lions, eagles and gargoyles; and 8 foot diameter barge propellers functioning as room dividers.

The Resolution:

Schpilkes took one look at the wealth of antique doors, stained glass, statues and architectural details and asked: Where do we sign?

The Next Step:

Persuading Robespierre that having a Bar Mitzvah party at the Astonishingly Unusual Museum will not condemn his reputation to the dustbin of history.  Now it's time for Curley, the Spinmeister, to step up to the plate, with support from Stretch and Sweet Talker.

Oh, I think that museum looks fabulously cool! Who would pick a stuffy old country club over THAT?!?!
