Appendix E-J

Well, we’re here. Chicago. Bitter winds and a lovely high of twenty. I come to you from Intelligentsia Coffee on Randolph Street. So very delicious.

The Second City will be our environment for the next 3.5 days as we attend Coffee Fest. As amusing things come along, we’ll make sure to keep you updated here on Appendix E-J.  Lucky for you, the trip out here held an amusing treat for us.

Ben’s Ginger Ale From The Other Side Of The World

The only time Ben drinks Ginger Ale is aboard aeroplanes. This trip is no exception. Here is Ben & the can he received:

Apparently, Canada Dry is also available in the Asian market…and with a much better slogan – “Chill Time.”

If this  pleasant surprises is any indication of how the rest of this trip will go, I think my head just might explode with delight. How fanciful.

Todd Fadel is a good fellow. He makes music with Agents of Future (loud, beautiful) and is friends with friends (Aaron Strumpel, The Blackthorn Project, Kate Hurley etc.).

A little while back, I received an e-mail from Mr. Fadel concerning a thing he was building called Love Is Concrete. When he first explained it to me, I thought it sounded magnificent. Now that it is around, I know it is magnificent. I speaks so clearly of truly Good things and things I hope Everyday Joe’s can accomplish that it about makes me overly-emotional. I’d try to explain it, but I think the following video does a better job. Watch it, and then follow the links to the web site.
