Coffee at Luke's
Coffee at Luke's: An Unauthorized Gilmore Girls Gabfest | Jennifer Crusie, Leah Wilson
10 posts | 11 read | 26 to read
In the fall of 2000, Gilmore Girls premiered on the WB and viewers were introduced to the quirky world of Stars Hollow and the Gilmores who had made it their home, mother-daughter best friends Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. With the show in its seventh season on the fledgling CW, Coffee at Luke's is the perfect look at what has made the show such a clever, beloved part of the television landscape for so long. What are the risks of having your mother be your best friend? How is Gilmore Girls anti-family, at least in the traditional sense? Whats a male viewer to do when he finds both mother and daughter attractive? And how is creator Amy Sherman-Palladino like Emily Gilmore? From the shows class consciousness to the way the characters are shaped by the books they read, the music they listen to and the movies they watch, Coffee at Luke's looks at the sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking underpinnings of smart viewers Tuesday night television staple, and takes them further into Stars Hollow than theyve ever been before.

What I‘m reading to de-stress (because this show and I go waaaay back). Call it a safety blanket.

And so, Isla is at my Dad's because we are going to a gig tonight, but until then, I'm binging on Gilmore Girls. Still only on Season 4. Because my priorities suck. 😉. Popcorn, anyone?

I had a brainstorm that for next year's reading challenge, I would read all of the books referenced in Gilmore Girls. Then I found out there are 339 books referenced in Gilmore Girls (not including the new episodes), and I've only read like 40 of them. So I think the challenge might be a little too challenging.

angrylilasian I've printed out the list and I know I can't do it in a year but maybe in my lifetime. 😆 8y
bookwrm526 Especially considering one of them is all 1300-odd pages of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire! Richard mentions having just finished the sixth volume in season five!!! 8y

Had to share this photo cause it just tickles my funny bone. Elliot has been pacing in front of the tv for the last 10 minutes because there's a bug somewhere in the room... and apparently that is the best vantage point? 😹 #catsoflitsy in other news... I'm binging on GG and I'm only on season 4... I'm never going to catch up in time for the new eps tomorrow!

LauraBrook Love this photo! I'm in season 4 too (really fell behind in my rewatch the last couple of months). I'm excited to see what will happen with the new shows! 8y
8little_paws I watched through season 6 and also the first and last of season 7. This is the second time through for me. I'm so excited!! 8y
erinreads KITTY. 😻 I'm also rewatching and only on season 4, too. And my husband is watching with me so I can't get any late night binging in so it'll be awhile till I can watch the new ones. 8y

'This is a jumbo coffee morning. I need coffee in an I.V." -Lorelai, (S01, EP02) The quote from my Luke's coffee cup. My local coffee shop (aka Wednesday office) is turned into Luke's Diner for the Netflix #GilmoreGirls revival promotion. A bit distracting for work but fun to people watch the lines! ☕️❤️?

StephBengtson Yay! I went to one in my neck of the woods. I tipped the staff $10 for doing God's work this am. Hope you survived! So much fun! ☕️☕️☕️ 8y
Sara_Planz We have three in Houston but they are all way downtown and we live out in the burbs. Enjoy!!!! 8y
Ruri_kaichou I went to the one near my house! It was so cute! 8y

carys14 The coffee shop next to my work had a line literally around the block!!!! 8y
DebinHawaii @StephBengtson @Sara_Planz @Ruri_kaichou @carys14 Yes, although I knew it was happening because it's my regular hangout, I am pretty amazed at the lines. It's tucked in a the back of a shopping center that is out of the way for people who don't live out here so I'm impressed so many people keep showing up. 😀👍 8y
Eyelit Nifty! There are 3 coffee shops in Austin that participated - but I haven't had a chance to visit any of them cause of a crazy day. It's a cute promotion, for sure! 8y
Ruri_kaichou @DebinHawaii same experience for me as well! The coffee shop I go to regularly was doing it and it was crazy busy! 8y
DebinHawaii @Eyelit It definitely got people jazzed up. 😀👍 @Ruri_kaichou It seems like that was the case in a lot of places! 👍👍 8y

They ran out of Luke's Diner coffee sleeves, but I did get a picture of the sign!

jessicarenee So jealous! I didn't wake up in time to go to the one by my house before work :( 8y
autumnprivett @LauraBrook I wish I could do a re-watch, but I don't think I'll be able too. 8y
autumnprivett @readingnatalie Sigh. Work. 🙄 8y

Happy birthday to Alexis Bledel! Her performance as Rory Gilmore on Gilmore Girls normalized extreme bookworming for the rest of us. 🤓

OffTheBeatenShelf.com Knowing there's a bookworm on the show makes me really want to watch it! 😍 8y
BookishFeminist @OffTheBeatenShelf.com You haven't seen it?! Rory is a bookworm to the EXTREME. You'd love it! 8y
Gayan @OffTheBeatenShelf.com You must watch it! Binge on all seven seasons before Black Friday because that's when the new ones come out on Netflix! 8y

HeySaidRenee I just started watching Gilmore Girls again. ❤ 8y
Gramworth I'm watching it for the first time and am really enjoying it! I had no idea this book existed... I'm definitely reading it!!! 8y
EricaReads I've watched it so many times already but plan to watch it one more time before the new ones come out! 8y
OffTheBeatenShelf.com @BookishFeminist @Gayan I'm sadly uncultured when it comes to TV, but y'all have inspired me to officially add Gilmore Girls to the Netflix queue! ☺️🍻📚📖👏🏼 8y
[DELETED] 4184155464 One of my all-time favorite shows. 🙌🏻 Rory's bookish nature and pursuits was relatable and a big reason I love the show. I'm such a GG nerd, I named my cat after her. 😸 Would recommend it to anyone, especially if they like character-driven shows. 8y
DeeLew One of the many reasons I loved Gilmore Girls!! Rory was the ultimate book nerd. 💙📙💜📕 8y
LornaDH Just ordered Coffee at Luke's and the companion book. Can't wait til they arrive! 8y
