I totally get this line, and genuinely chuckled out loud: "....are just a few of the things I’ve seen people thinking"

.... happy anniversary Captain!

On this, the second anniversary, I’ll finally ask. Why isn’t there an apostrophe in Captains Club?

Please don’t make me forfeit my prizes for asking.

Genuine people indeed 💖 The fact is that being genuine starts at the leadership.....and like attracts like after all......🌟It’s been a wonder-full 2years preceded by and inclusive of the warmth of The Tweedy Show. You and your family wrapped your comforting arms around us in that time of separation and uncertainty dear C’ptn and then the Starship took off and I’m so happy I jumped on board in the budget seats straight away then moved to Captains level after a year in when finances aligned. The card! The sticker! The envelope! Then recently the cap......The thought and wit and artistic detail is sooooo appreciated💖🙌 By jingoes this is a Ship load of delight! Yeehaa I’m loving it! .....thank YOU for being the genuine one. And for the music and poetry too of course 🙏

Happy birthday! It’s a pleasure to be aboard!

It seems fitting that I opened this email right after getting off the phone with a restaurant making reservations for my birthday tomorrow…I like to make the reservations myself to assure that no waitstaff will be forced to sing happy birthday at me while I figure out (as Thom Yorke so eloquently put it) how to disappear completely.

Starship Casual brings me joy, gives me a real sense of community, and somehow makes me feel special. Thank you for that and Happy Birthday.

We appreciate YOU so much, Jeff. Thank you for your service, and sharing a bit of who you are - and your life. I wish I would have been here from the very beginning, but I’m glad I at least found you here at some point. - A loyal follower & proud member of this honorable ship. I’m very happy to hear I’ll still get a CD - as a 2nd year member & supporter. Love you & your band and your family. - Heather

Jeff, what a long, strange trip it's been. Thank you and everyone involved. It's truly a welcoming, be yourself-type community.

The gold tooth is epic!

I believe Bob Newhart did a whole episode on his show about not needing to hear the birthday song or bringing to much attention to his birthday at a restaurant. Obviously his friends nor the restaurant listened.

Any clues as to the track list of that CD? I really hope the Bowie and Television covers are included. Those are two of my favorites.

TwoYears!! Who knows where the time goes? I do drink my tea from the shiny silver space mug often. Happy Anniversary! P.S. I like that you're recording your message on the tour bus. Love that 'wheels on the road' sound. Related to that, I saw Lucinda Williams a couple nights ago. She sang for 2 hours! Pretty remarkable considering what she's been through. She said she was so appreciative of touring and said that us being there was healing for her. Lucinda has a great band too! I told people near me about when Lucinda, Wilco and others were inducted into the Austin City Limits Hall Of Fame. I only saw it on TV, but that was a great night. Thanks Jeffy, for everything!

I'd be here with or without the prizes (I ❤️ that Susie!) but I do love receiving mail from space! 🤗

Saw your performance last night at Timber Fest. Even though the venue is less than an hour from my home in Seattle, I’d never been there before. As always, we really enjoyed your set! Thanks for booking concerts in our neck of the woods! Safe travels. ♥️

Captain and crew...were these shipped out? I've received the other Captain's Club transmissions along the way but never got this one. Thanks!
