The Hi Points from Hi Point Coffee 7/28/11

Hey-ho! Got some good music going on this week. Jazz on Thursday and Bluegrass on Friday, both of which I think are best heard live. Plus, both shows are free! Woot! I've got links and what not below. As for the rest of the news of the week, I'm simply shocked that it's Wednesday already. Shocked! I'm blaming this inner-timing hiccup for the fact that I can't seem to put together a sentence today. Ack! It's driving me crazy! So, instead of torturing all of us, I think it's wise to simply let the news stand on its own strength and hope for coherence next week. :) Hope you're doing well and not experiencing any internal hiccups. And I look forward to seeing you soon! :) Sarah Music Schedules this Week... Thursday, July 28th  8-10pm Jazz Night Jam Session 8-10pm with Mac Esposito Jam night means come sit in and play music!

Sunday Brunch Menu... Poached eggs with a little side of heaven (aka cheesy grits) and BBQ pulled pork, served with ripe summer fruit and a mini cinnamon roll pudding topped with rum caramel sauce.  You may start salivating now. :)  Hi Point's New Summer Menu for Lunch and Breakfast! We're doing new menus to reflect the seasons. Check out the new summer menu posted here ! New Book Club Selection    "Daddy Needs a Drink, An Irreverent Look at Parenting from a Dad Who Truly Loves His Kids-- Even When They're Driving Him Nuts" by Robert Wilder.     This definitely sounds funny, even to me, the dedicated non-parent. I can only imagine the difficulties of parenthood, so it seems a truly great idea to sit back and have a good laugh at the craziness of it all, right? And I get to sit back and laugh at y'all and call you suckers. ;) Next meeting is August 28th!    New Coffee Featured at Hi Point!
