coffee news
I was in Wales last week so couldn't do Friday. Sorry about that. But Ben's doing it on Friday, so please go along. (Ben - can I assume you've stopped being anonymous now?)
And this week I'm in Oregon, and next week New York. Both Friday's are full up with work-type stuff. So I was wondering if anyone fancied this Saturday morning in Portland and next Saturday in New York? Not sure exactly where or when yet. Anyone up for it?
Quite a lot of the previous week at The Tate was devoted to staring at Matt. (Staring here courtesy of Fiona). Also present Mark, Lebowski and Rebecca. I felt a little sorry for Matt and Fiona, I think the rest of us were guilty of something I've seen in planners a lot; when we find people who know new and interesting stuff we turn into instant groupies, desperately trying to suck all the information from them. Especially when they're smart, nice and have great jobs. (Or at least jobs that sound great to planners.) So apologies and Matt and Fiona, and many thanks for coming. We managed to avoid discussing advertising almost entirely and focused instead on robots, buttons and different types of visa.
I don't think the Tate experiment worked though. At least two people couldn't find us because of the ambiguous floor numbering system and it's not as comfy and welcoming as The Breakfast Club.
I am gonna be in NY playing some shows with my band so might be able to make it! Sounds great..
Ze frank is from NY, Perhaps he know of a decent venue?!http://www.zefrank.com/bagelworld/bw.html

I'd be up for Portland. Don't know what's on my home improvement agenda for Saturday, so any possibility of an early Friday could also work if there's some flexibility... I'd be a "maybe" for Saturday.

That works. What time?
Or did you want to do more of a cafe coffee place, like Stumptown on SW 3rd and Ash?

Definitely yes for the NY one!
