Oh man, it's Mid-Autumn Festival! I was never in China for this holiday, but I'm awfully fond of it. My first year, I went to a mid-autumn festival party at Smith where I answered a trivia question and won a pair of chopsticks, and there were moon cakes, which I love. Last night a young man of my acquaintance invited me to the Runcible Spoon to study and listen to an Old Time band that plays there every week, and I remember that the moon was huge and bright, but I didn't realize it was already time for the Mid-Autumn festival.
I wish there were someplace I could get a moon cake.

I have to believe that there is someplace in Bloomington that has them...Ask around.
Would a moon pie suffice?
