In reading Rafael’s blog, I found his mention of the Murky Coffee incident hilarious! It is amazing how Web 2.0 allowed one person to create such a fuss over a single event that ended up to be an article in the Washington Post.
I am a HUGE coffee lover. Be it coffee, latte, espresso shot, tea…you name it, I love it. Call me addicted to caffeine, but hey, Dolly sang it right when she said in 9 to 5, “Tumble outta bed and stumbled to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition, yawnin, stretchin, try to come to life…” (Did I mention this is going to be a musical?! It opens on April 23, 2009 on Broadway, and I can’t wait!)
Back to coffee, I am so disappointed to hear about the 600 Starbucks closings throughout the country. How sad! I’m not that surprised though, with our failing economy and soaring gas prices, people are forced to spend less where ever they can. In the listing of store closures, I was happy to hear that only 1 in Washington, DC will be affected (sorry, 21st and L Starbucks!), which does not include the two Starbucks stores that I frequent on a daily basis. PHEW!

I share your passion for coffee… I started the Brew Crew Coffee Club at my work on Wednesdays. It gives us something to look forward to, and it gets us over the hump. Everyone signs up on a rotation, and we bring in new kinds of coffee to sample. It has really caught on, and even non-coffee-drinkers walk in and know what day it is, because the new coffees definitely beat the company-suppied Joe. I like your blog!
