Appendix E-J

If you have issues dealing with jealousy or lusting after t-shirts and you’ve never volunteered at Everyday Joe’s, you might want to stop reading now. All volunteers current and former, continue.

We are pleased to bring you the first t-shirt exclusively available to Everyday Joe’s volunteers. The shirt is titled “Love Machine.”

It works on a few levels, mainly on those where awesome resides. Let us know if you want one by contacting us here. They’ll run you right about twelve bones.

Some weeks Friday afternoon rolls on around and the energy in the tank is low and all you really want is a chuckle inspired by the comments on music blog Stereogum’s post about the new Sufjan Stevens album. Am I right?

Then you get to the Stereogum and see “Candy Claws Silent Time…” in the corner of the page and you click on it and a new video from our old friends is there. Pleasant surprise.

The video is below. The write up is very nice and you should read it. The comments on it aren’t quite taking off, but there are some about recent Stone Temple Pilots antics worth a smirk.

There are Candy Claws tour dates over there, too. Got word this morning from our man/sound engineer/volunteer Jon Alonzo that he has left the band and the girls of it are taking a break to go to school. BUT…this still leaves the mighty Ryan, Marty, Wesley, and Riley. Should sound ultra soothing.

And just noticed that CC is in the heavy rotation section on Stereogum. Quite the day, I guess.

Not us. Diner mugs.

We love 10 oz. diner mugs. Love them. Thou wilst too.

The Everyday Joe’s diner mug is an official thing now. It is a cream color. The Everyday Joe’s lightning bolts on one side, “Support Your Local Non-Profit Coffee House” lightning bolts on the other – both in brown.

The lightning bolt logo was first designed based off an old NPR logo we saw. What we didn’t know is that we were unwittingly recreating the Operation Electric logo – the electrical appliance company that occupied the space at 144 S. Mason for decades before we did. The former-owners of that company are our generous landlords. When they saw the logo on our travel mug, they burst with joy. Therefore…we have decided to stick with it.

(speaking of those travel mugs…there are only 4 left! Then they will be gone forever)

These little puppies will cost around the $8 mark, and will come with a complimentary brew from our single-cup drip bar or a loose leaf tea. They should be available Friday morning.

The Agents of Future are some of my favorite people/one of our favorite bands on the face of the planet in its entirety. They were part of the 2009 90/10 Benefit. My guess is – regardless of what believe – you want some part of what they carry around with them.

It is most days that we try concocting new drinks. Sometimes they are delish (our Holiday Spice Latte is one to remember) and other times we spit them out (i.e. when Chris tried espresso in a grapefruit Izze). Sometimes…just sometimes…a bit of beverage magic drops into our laps.

Our man in the milk biz Steve Shafer brought a surprise by a month ago. Mr. Shafer is a longtime volunteer and currently employed by Morning Fresh Dairy (our fav). Morning Fresh’s milk needs no help in a latte. It is delicious and sweet and plays nice with the Espresso Novo it is paired with. The milk, though, has invited a friend to the party.

Have you ever tried Coopersmith’s root beer? If not, you ought should. If so, you know what I’m talkin’ ’bout. Now – imagine some of the syrup Coopersmith’s crafts for their root beer combined with Morning Fresh milk. What do you have? Rootbeer Milk. You can stop imagining. It is a reality.

When Steve brought a quart of the stuff (fresh from R&D) over to my house, we tried it plain. We tried it with adult beverage additives. My son tried it from his sippy cup. In all these forms it was lovely. There was one question left floating around in the air, though: would it work with espresso?

The answer: Holy bananapants. The Rootbeer Milk Iced Latte is a late summer treat. It will take you towards the fall classic. We will have it here at Everyday Joe’s until further notice.

It’s the original. The debut. An Everyday Joe’s exclusive. Come & get it.
