Coffee Love, Cat Love, What's Not to Love?

It's no secret CoffeeCat loves, loves, loves, locally-owned coffee shops. How could our Triad Coffee Shops possibly get any better? Wanna know? Hmm? Give up? Ok, I'll tell you! Drum roll, please!

1) A coffee shop song performed on stage (CoffeeCat drooled!)
2) A "kitty ditty" performed on stage (CoffeeCat wanted to run berserk as cats do, but refrained)
3) 3 awesome singer-songwriters on stage with guitar and piano (CoffeeCat is soooo jealous!)
4) coffee bar with espresso for all (bzzzzzzzzzz)
5) good friends to share coffee shop with :-)

Songwriters in the Round at Community Arts Cafe was THE place to be this Friday night. So where were you all? The Underground Theater had a small group of fans, but there was room for plenty more. This cozy yet classy setting is gorgeous and . . . .what's not to love when you can take 20 steps, get a latte (or wine. or beer. or milk & cookies), and walk right back into the concert?

No hand stamps, no outrageous ticket prices and surcharges, no yahoos spilling beer on you as you push through the crowd. Best-selling, award winning songwriters on stage, making the audience feel as if we were in their living rooms. CoffeeCat doesn't like to gush (oh, who am I kidding?), but this is a little treasure in the City of the Arts that we should enjoy!

"Encore" to Kristy Jackson on piano, Lacey Greene on guitar, and Vicki Genfan, creator of "slap tap" guitar. I hope they're not allergic to cats, because CoffeeCat will be following them around the Triad! The next Songwriters in the Round is Friday, Nov. 11.

Cats love treats at the coffee shop!

And "Bravo" to Jim and Cathy Tedder for making their vision of an artists' incubator a reality. This is a place for artists of all kinds to gather, perform, learn, and best of all, DRINK COFFEE. Honestly, does life get any better?
