Tyler's Getting Married!

Wow! It seems big news always comes in threes around here:

-The new Harry Potter book is out!

-Ikea is opening in Portland this week!!

-Tyler is getting MARRIED!!! That tops everything!

So Insomnia Coffee Company is giving him a few hours off, resulting in shorter hours this Friday and Saturday. No music this week, either, except at the wedding.



There are three things that last: faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is love.
- I Corinthians 13:13

Insomnia Coffee Company sometimes stays open late for special group events. Last month there was a quilt group meeting. This month there will be a "girls only" event hosted by Anna Briggs and Cassie Ashby with The Body Shop at Home. This notice for Monday the 9th was found posted on the bulletin board.

"Liberty is the right to choose. Freedom is the result of the right choice." - Unknown

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty." - John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Two Bug Night

Could it be that Insomnia Coffee Company is becoming a meetup place for New Beetle owners? If word gets out, it could be very interesting.

When Amy was a little girl, she liked to have collections (got that from her mom). As soon as she had two of something, it was considered a collection.

Just Another Customer...

...what else would you expect? This is Oregon, after all. Lots of rain in Hillsboro today, and more forecast for tomorrow. Here's a customer who can still get a drink even if the water gets too high in the drive through lane.
