Coffee Klatch at Revolutions

Maybe you’re already planning a visit to Revolutions (7012 Woodlawn Ave NE) tomorrow morning to avoid the extra crowd at Starbucks, but go back in the evening to make some new friends and have some coffee. If you’ve got your heart set on learning about biochar at the Sustainable Green Lake meeting (as you should!), don’t worry, because your new friends-to-be will be at Revolutions next week (and the next week and so on and so on) as well.

Starbucks Free Pastry Tomorrow

Apparently Starbucks pastries used to contain artificial flavors, dyes, trans fats, and high-fructose corn syrup. But now they don’t, and they want to give you a free snack to make it up to you (with purchase of a beverage). So if you’re keen to stand in an even-longer-than-normal Starbucks line tomorrow morning (5am-10:30am…or until the pastries run out), print out this coupon, or better yet: save that tree and show the barista this page on your phone. Now if you’re not keen on long lines and your schedule allows you to wait until 6am for that morning coffee and pastry…
