Last weeks open mic night was a lot of fun. Courtney played our favorites and people slowly trickled in, grabbed some coffee and settled in. We had some new faces last week - the lads from the band Atlantic came by for some caffiene, sweets, laughs and to exercise their musical gifts. Court and Lisa played a few songs and some of the guys jumped in every once in awhile. The house came down during the closing # when Atlantic was in full style and rhythm - the guys did their own rendition of 'Hero' by Enrique Iglesias. T'was quite a night I must admit. Good coffee, good music and a heck of a good time! Bring your guitar, voice, poetry or spoons - see ya this week @ 7 pm Thursday night
As an FYI - we recieved some new Monin coffee syrups and I'll tell ya what, they are amazing. They all natural syrups. Pumpkin Spice, Frosted Marshmallow, Chesnut and Cinnamon just to name a few...

Hey Kids,
What is new and exciting...? Much, much is new and exciting actually. Business is growing in many different ways. I want to touch on a big part of where Damascus is growing - people. The way our staff has reached out to our customers and vice versa has been nothing less than glorious. Glorious was not a word chosen loosely to be certain. Being a part of our customers daily routine and in turn their lives has been awesome. Getting to know families, habits, passions and dreams is humbling for sure - it has become a great responsibility. In some ways the daily routine of coffee itself has created these experiences. Yet, it would be an understatement to say that freedom of opinion and a passion for listening to people and having compassion for people has a major part of this. As the days turn into weeks and the weeks turn into months it is becoming clear that coffee is the great equalizer! The pleasure of serving people builds each double latte that is crafted at the espresso machine - Victoria is her name actually!
We celebrated our grand opening in September as well. We had friends and some vendors their and a nice show of support from Town Council, Town Staff and the DRBA - very much appreciated. To have my wife and children thier meant a lot as well. History in the making I suppose you could say. I am always intrigiued by the fact that the history text books we read in 25 years are filled with todays news, todays events that are seemingly insignificant but will be monumental in the future if the dreams are pursued relentlessly.
