News from Hi Point Coffee and Cafe 3/17/10

What's new, you ask? Well, more espresso tasting today. Woo-hoo! The digital photography class is this coming Sunday with Ian. That will be great, since he really is both an artist and a great technician, as photographers must be. So, come with your camera questions, lighting, composition, etc. He's ready to guide you to taking great pictures. The music goes on this weekend, as usual, with a new artist from Carson City. Plus, I forgot to mention last week all the tasty Irish-inspired coffee drinks we're doing at the shop. We'll have them for a few more days before the next crop of spring-inspired drinks comes along. Hope to see you soon!    Thanks! Sarah Toney Hi Point Coffee and Cafe

Acoustic Grind  This Saturday we have Frankie Ferreria playing for us. You can listen to his music athttp://www.myspace.com/frankieferreira. Frankie's from Carson City and has some great songs he's written and I'm looking forward to hearing him live. Great voice!

St. Patty's Drink Specials Sadly, we can't pour whiskey today, but we can serve the next best thing. Espresso! The Pot O' Gold latte - vanilla and Caramel latte The Irish Car Bomb - Irish Cream mocha plus 2 extra shots The Lucky Charm  - White Chocolate and Irish Cream The Nutty Irishman - Hazelnut and Irish cream I think the winner of of the Irish inspired drinks thus far has been the Car Bomb, though I'm feeling apologetic for the name. The war in Northern Ireland has been over for quite some time, so it's time to come up with a new name for this one, so if anyone is inspired with a good, but less reminiscent of a sad chapter in Ireland's history, let me know! it's a good drink, so I wanna keep it around. Thoughts, anyone?

Digital Photography Class This one is exciting! Ian, a fellow Hi Pointer, is a fabulous professional photographer and has offered to teach a class or two on digital photography. The first class will be Sunday March 21st, 1-3pm. This class is not just for artists, but anyone who is interested in taking great pictures. Ian teaches professionally for Nikon and even had Clint Eastwood in a class once, so this class is a wonderful gift to the community. Don't miss out on this one!

Bookclub Time The bookclub was great again. Thanks, Paul! Our next book is "The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World" It's a look at what it means to be happy. Our focus in the bookclub thus far has been an examination in priorities in our lives and how to live more authentic, practical and happy lives. The club meets April 11th, 3-5pm. A couple of our customers have said that they've already read this one and thought it was just great! So, get the book, read up and come join us!
