Last day

So TODAY is my last day before leaving for college and of course, I'm spending part of it here at coffee. Tom isn't working today but I saw him yesterday and got a goodbye hug. Val made me a mint mocha, on her. I'm going to buy one of the coffee shop t-shirts so I can represent out in Minnesota. It is rather poignant. I'm the only one upstairs at the moment, and I find it appropriate that I get to completely dominate the place in the last hours of my reign here....

P.S. one last update on cast members! Val is "girl with brown hair who is always there with gair." Steve is "new guy who apparently exists." I don't know how to spell her name, but I believe "new girl with accent" is Jana (pronounced YON-uh)

Until fall break!

Beanie at the Hotel

This isn't at a coffee shop, but Beanie does have other adventures worthy of being documented, I think...

majority rules!

our mascot's names is officially BEANIE!!

yay :)

our mascot's new name..?

all in favor of "BEANIE" as our mascot's new name, comment "AYE."

suggestions for a new name for bearista?

since that's already the name of the starbucks bear, i think we should come up with another one. any thoughts?

so far, i've got:

-café bearé
-mocha
-red eye

a tad lame, but i'll try to think of some others.

-carolyn

dwindling.

it's weird to think that soon we, those of us who post here and those of us who frequent chcc, will all be gone, off to college except for breaks and summers. macrina and i have already left, alex is leaving in september, shelby will be a senior...

i hope the coffee will live on. i mean, i know it will exist without our presence, but in the current state of chestnut hill's economy, you never what might be next to disappear.

-carolyn

absent.

dear chcc -

for some time now i have been quite absent from your scene! work has taken over my life and i hit up the many starbucks that dot downtown philadelphia or bonte. each time i order my (now decaf) iced vanilla lattes i am a little ashamed.

it is time for me to get back to my roots!

love,

carolyn

update!

the cast of characters has been updated, finally! check it out.

A new tradition

When visiting Gettysburg, Macrina and I decided that we would do one of those über-cool things where we take a stuffed animal to every coffee shop we ever go to, and take a picture with it. We scavenged her house and found a small bear. She wants to name it Bearista, but the Starbucks bear already has that name. And I think the name needs to be much more original and cute.

But WHATEVER about the name. Bearista's first coffee house is...RAGGED EDGE in Gettysburg!
