Watching: A Film About Coffee
Though I do not have affiliation with this film, from the moment that I heard about it, I became excited. This past week it went live online. Stunning cinematography and a wonderful weaving of stories. Rent or buy this journey through coffee on Vimeo; highly recommended for coffee lovers.
Chinatown Coffee Co: The Place for Alternative Fans
Chinatown Coffee Co.
This morning, I journeyed down to Chinatown with every intention of going to Vigilante Coffee’s pop-up cafe. Once I arrived on the scene, it wasn’t there. Anyone else know why Hogo’s is boarded up? Luckily, there was a close second for coffee shop choices in the area: Chinatown Coffee Co.

Enter Saturday morning. Sunshine streaming through my windows, spring air beckoning nature into the light. Everyone was outside enjoying the weather. I got on a crowded bus and happily listened to my iPod to get down to M Street.
