uh… what day was that march again?
ohhh, mmaaaaaaaannnn… What were we talking about?
more robb than you could ever ask for.
This is what I’m talking about. It’s not all about making budget cuts to get by in an economic crisis. Sometimes you have to do things to make your product more attractive to people. In the long run, it will succeed. Time Out and it’s contemporaries are the future of print media.
Remember, I’ve been saying for the last 10 or so months, remember the name Van Jones? I said he’s going to be the name for the new Green Economy.
Peep this article, looks like it didn’t take very long for that to happen.
There you have it, the top five baristas in the country all work at my favorite Chicago and Milwaukee based coffee chains.
In addition to being the best there is, Mike is a really nice guy.
Caffeine Zombie
I decided to pop down to Intelligentsia on Clark for a cup-o-mud. After ordering and paying, this is the conversation that ensued:
Barista 1: Let me ask you a question.
Robb: Sure.
Barista 1: What is the correct way to kill a zombie?
Robb: I guess that depends on the kind of zombie.
Barista 1: The classic, Romero zombie.
Robb: You have to destroy the brain.
Barista 1 (to Barista 2): See. He knows what he’s talking about.
Barista 2 (to Barista 1): Ok, ask him the next question.
Barista 1: If you had to choose one of these weapons to fight zombies, which would you choose - a sword or a sledge hammer?
(At this point, Barista 3 jogs over to us with a grin on his face, wearing a dark button down shirt and a red vest)
Robb: I would go with a sledge hammer.
(this appears to please Baristas 1 & 3, but #2 is not so happy. Barista 1 makes a hash mark next to Sledge Hammer on a scrap of paper.)
Now - at this point we get into a minor discussion about why one weapon seems better suited for the killing of zombies than another. The argiument against sword is that it could get stuck, or not fully decapitate. Arguments in favor were not as enthusiastic, and consisted mostly of Barista 2 saying that swords would be “more efficient.”
Robb: Are you polling every customer that comes in?
Barista 1: Only the ones who know how to kill one.
Robb: What’s winning so far?
Barista 1: Sword, by two.
Barista 2: That’s a shame, I thought it was more.
Barista 1: Sorry. 3.
Robb: Glad to help out the sledge hammer cause.
Barista 1: Thanks man, have a good night.
Barista 2 (whispering to Barista 1): From now on, anyone who knows gets ten percent off.
Robb: I heard that!

Anyway, good times.
