Crystal City Coffee Club Forming

[Judd]

New coffee club forming!

Where: Crystal City Water Park
When: Tuesdays 7ish until as late as you can stay without getting fired

Frequently Asked Questions:

A: There’s a Starbucks right across the street from the water park. Or you can stop at the Starbucks one block north on Crystal Drive or the Starbucks that is two blocks south on Crystal Drive.

Q: What if I hate Starbucks?
A: There’s a Dunkin Donuts one block away on 18th and Bell.

Q: I’m too good for these chain coffee stores, what should I do?
A: Pour that French pressed Sumatran blend into a vacuum thermos and throw it in a bottle holder.

Q: How do I get there?
A: The Crystal City Water Park is conveniently located off the Mt. Vernon trail by exiting on the Crystal City Connector. Map right here: https://goo.gl/maps/yRd2ejpce9T2

Q: I’m afraid of strangers. What if I don’t know anybody?
A: Judd, Ian, Komorebi and LeprosyStudyGroup will all be there. We are all totally nice and pleasant to talk to, even if we’re currently a stranger to you.

The forecast for the inaugural Crystal City Coffee Club is partly sunny in the low sixties and no rain. Hope to see you there!

I plan to be there tomorrow morning. For those who don’t want to juggle a coffee cup while riding, I’ll be bringing the promised Box o’ Joe.

I will be with the 8:00 crowd. 0700 is too early for me!

There’s an official 8 AM shift?

If so I’ll try to make that one. It’s still at the park, right?

Nothing is official until we get added to the Weekly Coffee Gatherings sticky. I’ll be hanging around with my box of coffee at least until 8:00am. There may even be a couple of donuts left. And yes, at the park.

Is it ok for forum newbies to show up?

Anyone on a bicycle is welcome!

[LeprosyStudyGroup]

I can’t speak for everybody but if you don’t happen to be on a bicycle you probably also would be welcome, for example if you were on a broom, or a carpet, perhaps a log, maybe an inflated hefty bag, or a tractor, hell a 1988 pogo ball would do, anybody ride a giant racing snail to work? There should be enough bikes around you could be kinda vague about it for a little while.

YES! All of us were newbies at one point. Heck, I’m still mostly a newbie.

Maybe one of these can be stationed at the water park?

As you all were arriving for your Tuesday Morning CC Coffee Club. I was leaving Fair Finch in Podil after our CLO spouses lunch. They roast their own coffee and offer coffee made with several different methods (pump espresso, cold brew, filter, French press, and there could be a couple more). I just settled for a filter Американо. Rode lots of cobblestones on today’s rouhttps://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1202083208te.

Ditto, and thanks for welcoming us newcomers!

KWL is official Best Dude status.

I’m sad we don’t get to meet the late shift. See you all on Hains Point some afternoon?
