Insomnia's New Mug

Just in time for Christmas shopping, our new mug has arrived! It's ceramic/stainless steel and is the perfect size at 14oz.
Your friend asks: "What's that you have in YOUR hand?"
You say: "Only the finest in coffee mug-ware...an Insomnia mug!"

Project night...

So, Ladies & Gents...you are aware that Christmas will be here before you know it? If you’re like me, there’s a list as long as my arm that I “intend” to finish. This includes everything from addressing envelopes for Christmas cards, a couple unfinished scrap booking projects that would make fabulous gifts if I only completed them, to a-HEY! Wait a minute! NO PEEKING! Sorry, you’ll just have to take my word for it, folks. All that to say, if you’d like some company and good coffee while you make a dent in your holiday “to do” pile, come join my pal Kim & I on Tuesday, December 2nd, from 6-10pm. We will be hanging out at the shop & having a grand social time with you & anyone who’ll join us! All are welcome...just try to pick a “to do” that doesn’t require a TON of space (or newspaper on the floor, or a lot of hot wax, glitter, or, well, you get the picture). We hope to see you there!

A fun thought aside...if you have a favorite Christmas cookie or dessert recipe you’re willing to share, bring a few copies and we’ll pass ‘em around-we can all use a recipe box update every once in a while!

Halloween at Insomnia...

Ashley...is that a skeleton hand in your hair?
Amy pretends to love corporate coffee.
Is that Dr. Horrible? Or is it David?
80's Runner Evan...hit the Highway!
Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett made an appearance...
secretly it's Debbie and Reba!
Tyler sports the Interstate on his chest.
At Insomnia, we don't need many excuses to don costumes...Halloween brought out our creativity. Good participation, team!

Little blurb in the Oregonian.

Friends, we popped up in the Oregonian again this past Sunday. (Oct. 26, 2008) Here's the clipping showing one of our fun customers (bottom left corner). Thanks for your support, Tasia...now, you're FAMOUS!

Andy Carson with Good Day Oregon!

Andy Carson just paid us a visit this morning! So fun! Hopefully you were able to catch the segments on KPTV12 during the morning news...if not, we're trying to compile the recorded segments to post online.

Thanks, Andy, for spending the morning with us. It was a hoot to hang out and get to know you. You're definitely a pro. Oh, and we're glad you liked the mochas!

Fox 12 At Insomnia Coffee

Insomnia's OPEN MIC NIGHT!

Okay, y'all. We're finally opening up an OPEN MIC NIGHT! Come by the shop to fill a slot on the list!



Here's the fine print:
All songs must be original. You have a total of 10 mins on stage. (This must include set-up and take down) Because this is a family environment, you must restrict all off-color or rude behavior. This stage is for artists with something to share. If not all the slots are filled please ask for any availability a week in advance (july 11th).

****There will be 2 mics, and hook-ups for guitar****

Thank you!
