We're getting our very first Starbucks here soon. They are still building it, there was a big to do in the paper about how this might drive the independent coffee houses out of business.
Which I don't see happening because of Starbuck's location--it's not a bad location but it's not near the colleges, the arty district, or right next to the duck pond which is where all the independently owned coffee houses are.
Did Nick B's pilot get pushed off until mid-season?
From NickBrendon.com:
FOX announced its 2003-2004 schedule this week, and unfortunately, The Pool at Maddy Breakers won't be on the network's schedule come fall. No word yet on whether it's being considered as a midseason replacement.
When I was looking at the schedules for next fall I didn't see anything that looked like his show and was afraid of that.
Thanks bitterchick (and duh - I should have known to check that site). I read a Wanda (Kristin?) column early, early this morning (around 5 am) it was a chat transcript, and it seemed to me that Nick was saying the show didn't get picked up, but I thought I'd read it did. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. I was hoping things had changed.
Damn. Want more Nick.

Peets is good. Cali roasts are a lot lighter than Seattle roasts, generally. The bad Seattle places burn the beans, the good ones just get that edge to 'em
Oh man. Perhaps you should come by our place tomorrow after all, Plei. We have Ravensbrew coffee ( www.ravensbrew.com ) and it is the best damn coffee in the world. Peets ain't even close.
My husband hates West-coast very roasty coffee. Is Ravensbrew more roasty than Peets/Starbucks or less?
Oh course, we should have known sooner - where ELSE would Clovis live but on a hellmouth?
good for roasting marshmallows
They have a variety of roasts and beans. What's important is that their beans are roasted well.
Take a look at their site. I strongly recommened Espresso Chocolon, Kodiak Koffee (especially the organic version), Wicked Wolf, Czar's Blend and ... lots more frankly
eta: sorry for derailing the Buffy thread into coffee natter.
Pete, their site is pure coffee porn, you realize.
