Okay…since I have no artistic drawing abilities, but do have drinking abilities, the more important question is what time on what date do Beer Festival tickets go on sale? If memory serves, they sold out in 72 minutes last year.
Re Sbux: What is a Clover Machine?
http://www.starbucks.com/coffee/learn/clover
I bought a cup in Savannah in Oct/Nov of last year and was unimpressed. Better than regular drip but certainly no better than what I make at home with an Aeropress. In short, a bit pricey for what you get.
So any point to it if you tend to adulterate your coffee, e.g. get a latte or capuccino?
Dancing Goats use the Clover machines, too. I think the clover-brewed cups cost about 40% more. I have bought a few, maybe three. I thought it was very very good coffee.
DG was indeed the first Clover customer in the area (state?), but theirs died a few years back and was removed. After SBUX bought the company, they stopped supporting machines owned by their competitors. I know, I know…
My fave DBF logo is the 2001 version.
The largest SBUX is the area (state?) is the new location (formerly BR/DD/Togo’s) at Midtown Place. The Decatur Square location is simply remodeled, not enlarged.
Got to say, I’m not a fan of the remodel job at the Starbucks. Too dark. Makes it seem like a disco ball is going to fall from the ceiling at any time.
