Seriously, can we talk about Starbucks

So Kim played at Starbucks last night. (I forgot my camera). It's in a great location in the Vista of Columbia, a lot of people came through, many left tips, and a few bought CDs. Overall, it was a great night. I like Starbucks coffee, the people who work there are always nice, the chairs are comfortable, the stores and bathrooms are always clean, etc, etc. So why the bad reputation? Why the Starbucks is the devil paradox? I don't understand. Do tell. In other news, Starbucks does not allow musicians to write the word "Tips" on a tip jar. You can have a jar, you just can't write "Tips" on it. Chew on that for 3-7 seconds...

I love Starbucks and I love the tip jar rule. Love it. The girl that cuts my hair (you know, from Fantastic Sams) does not leave out a tip jar either. Sounds like Kim is killing it - great news.

Dude.

Your blogger profile "Occupation" is pretty funny. Do you know what comes up when you click on it? Good stuff. Blogrolled.

I like Starbucks, even though I acknowledge that it is in fact the Devil, or at least an insidious network of Screwtape-like sub-demons.

And it turns out to be an okay place to earn a few tips and meet some people if you're a struggling musician. Or her husband.
