For all of you folks that enjoy meeting up for coffee we are having another get together. Think 10'ish this saturday at borders on the westside. Comments, feedback, rsvp's and such, just leave them on here.

Regards,

Norm

PS. I once again forgot ( and don't really know how ) to make this an event. Any mod's out there willing to give a gentle nudge?

What happened to the idea of having it at Mud Bay?

I just love all Olympia's independent bookstores so much, I hate giving business to Borders.

Eh, it's friendly, has

Eh, it's friendly, has coffee, plus I like it. Surprised

Create an Event

In the upper left corner, click 'create content' then choose event.  Or, follow this link.

We do have some great book stores in Olympia (I'm partial to Orcas), but overall selection must go to Borders.  Plus, it's on the Westside!

I think Border's is fine. 

I think Border's is fine.  Plus the last time we went there the barista guy gave me a thing for a free drink and I haven't been back to use it!  =)  And I don't think anyone is going to buy books - we are just taking up space.  Heh. 

So I agree with Border's for this Saturday and then maybe next time we can do Vic's again.  Or Traditions.  But if we ever meet at Traditions someone is going sit on me so I don't buy all the *adorable* toys they have there!

Mud Bay

Mud Bay has a really great view though! And the Pho next door is scrumptious.

I like that pho, too.

But on the other hand, if I have my kid with me, which I probably will, she's much easier to distract in a bookstore than a straightforward coffee place. 

Speaking of pho, have you tried it at the place in the Asian market on Harrison?  Mmmmm....

She seems really well

She seems really well behaved from the last time we coffee'd. Operagirls kids also....if she brings them again though, you HAVE to ask them to dance....trust me.

Ya they like to "move it

Pho on Harrison

I haven't tried it there, but I'll put it on my agenda. I haven't been to "Little Da Nang" in a while, but I have had some good Pho there too.

Your Picture?

not coffee, soup!

Hate to continue the sidetrack from Norm's invitation to coffee, but this soup thing is speaking to me tonight. Two recommendations:

1) mae un tang - korean fish soup at Osaka in Tanglewilde (or, got to Paldo World and buy fresh ingredients to make it at home)

2) Mekong's #10 tom tum kan tofu
