Appendix E-J

The volunteers of Everyday Joe’s Coffee House are important people. They make this place go and without them it just wouldn’t be very much fun. It’s even more fun when the show up for their shift bearing gifts and when that gift is art we all do a dance.

Rico is our Monday barista from 11 am – 2 pm. He has a respectable beard, a lovely wife, a nice son named fynn, and a band called The Lighthouse Band. Yesterday, he emerged from Finn’s room with the following creation for Everyday Joe’s. It is beautiful and our heart is splattered all over it in a non-grotesque way. Enjoy.

If you picked up a copy of Thursday’s (5/8/08) edition of the Rocky Mountain Collegian, a couple familiar faces may have been staring back at you…or staring off into the musical distance.

Everyday Joe’s musical son Jon Alonzo and our good friend Dave Maddocks – along with the rest of the Act So Big Forest musical community – were featured in a cover story written by our very own volunteer Maggie Canty. We’ve watched most of the Forest grow up before our very eyes…Winderous Igloos, Airships, Josh Dillard, Candy Claws…the list goes on. They are an endless source of creativity and can often leave you with your head cocked to one side, a bit confused.

They are great and we love them very much. Read the article here. Paean, another member of the forest, will release their new album at Everyday Joe’s on June 6 with special guest Maxwell Hughes

At Everyday Joe’s, we greatly encourage the development of the arts. However, we also find that sometimes encouraging isn’t necessary.

Case in point: Two of our wonderful volunteers Annihka and Beth. On their shift, they can usually be seen creating new drinks & then creating elaborate signs to go along with said drinks…usually with musical recommendations that should be heeded lest you fail to grasp the complete experience of these beverages.

Recently, I stumbled upon a nice little piece of work concerning our chai tea (which, by the way, we brew from scratch in-house). It is quite entertaining and good. I present to you in four-panel format:

Daryle Dickens- man, myth, legend, enigma.

Rocky Mountain Chronicle- fine, local publication

ZAF622.com & ArtPalaver.com- Daryle’s digital brainchildren

Apparently, when The Chronicle, Daryle, and Daryle’s brainchildren all sit in a room together and chat and possibly play parcheesi, wonderful things happen and articles are written about it.

This week’s edition of The Chronicle features an article concerning Daryle & ZAF & Palaver. Written by Mr. Josh Johnson, it’s definitely worth a read or 7. Get started by clicking here.

We’re proud of you, kind sir.

love.

In the name of community and in the name of wanting to see your photography handywork, an Everyday Joe’s/Appendix E-J Flickr Pool has been created. The term “Flickr Pool” used to confuse and intimidate me. I’d spin around in nervous circles.

Essentially it can be boiled down to photos submitted by you to our little group on the photo web site Flickr. Then, if a particular photo is relevant to a particular blog post, we will place the photo in the post and give you credit and possibly a treat.

The jist of it is as follows:

1. Click here to get to the group. Log-in using an existing Yahoo! I.D. or create one.
2. Upload your photo.
3. Wait to see what happens. 

See, not too tough. I know you can do it, so stop wasting time.

love.

p.s- It wouldn’t be a bad place to put some Portrait Project 2.0 pics.

You know that ulser forming in your tummy? It’s from having to figure what to do with your Friday night. Don’t worry, Appendix E-J has your Tums and your plans ready. The evening’s events are two-fold.

6:15 pm or so: Arrive at the Gallery Underground (in the basement of the Avery Building…go down the stairs next to 10,000 Villages). Seek out Mr. Daryle G. Dickens and take the tour of his new studio. Chat a bit. Give Daryle a hug. Meet several other very nice people. Eat morsels and drink drink, if available. Give Daryle another hug, possibly a handshake. Leave the Gallery Underground.

7 pm: Arrive at Everyday Joe’s Coffee House. Order a drink. Say hi to those you know and introduce yourself to those you don’t. Find a seat and relax. The tunes of Alright Alright followed by Katie Herzig are about to enter your auditory devices. Ms. Herzig will have advance copies of her new album Apple Tree for sale. Tickets are $8 in advance or $10 at the door. By them here.

See how easy we made that? Art and music. Brilliant.

The art of one Deanne Moulton has graced the walls of Everyday Joe’s quite a few times over the years. It is quite nice and will probably end up in places that are very cold and very beautiful and where you can’t touch anything.

There’s a magazine in town called Ruminate. I’d call the folks over at Ruminate family. I’d also call Deanne family.

It only seems appropriate, then, that the art by Ms. Moulton would join forces with the pages of Ruminate to bring absolute jubilance into your being. You can pick up Ruminate, Issue 7 at Everyday Joe’s. You can also read more about the magazine over on Art Palaver.
