Well all, it was an action packed weekend for MadCap. We got things going on Friday by sharing a parking spot with The Branch downtown on Ottawa. The Branch provided the sod and couches and we rocked the french presses. It was a great day chillin downtown in the middle of the street, sittin on couches, layin in the grass, sippin some pressed Harrar Longberry MAO. We met a lot of great people including the mayor of G.R., Josh from grnow.com, some folks from San Chez, and a lot of sweet coffee lovers. Much love to the folks over at Spout for all the wonderful frisbees they threw at us from their third story window. Anyhow, the whole purpose for G.R. participating in National Park(ing) Day was to promote green grand rapids. Be sure to check out the flickr pics from park(ing) day. Good times.
Saturday we headed down to the Eastown Street Fair to man the [evo] booth through out the day. Another great day full of local music, carni food and locals selling their various wares. Again, we met a ton of cool people, shared some [evo] and MadCap coffee, and passed out some MadCap flair. We were pushing our Harrar again. The more we work with this coffee the more it becomes my favorite of our offerings right now. Sweet, smooth and bright with those classic berry undertones from Ethiopian coffees that I love.
Be on the look out however, we are getting our El Salvador cup of excellence in the next couple days and it should be available from our website by the weeks end. Also, we are hoping to get the mobile cart up in front of the space by the end of this week early next week. We’ll make sure we give a shout out on here so ya’ll will know when to come see us.
Till next time. cheers
