Pups on the Patio

You do the math! One adoptable puppy + several neighborhood dogs & their people + warm summer night + live music + patio + coffee shop + a great niece to share it with = a lovely Friday night!

Tazza Cafe & Bistro in Greensboro hosted a fundraiser for Animal Rescue & Foster Program. Lyn Koonce & Friends provided great toe-tapping music. Tazza has a great selection of sandwiches, snacks & all our favorite coffee shop beverages.

Reese enjoyed treats on the patio
She is up for adoption with ARFP

Lyn Koonce & Friends performed at Tazza. Saturday they're playing at Greensborough Coffee's one year anniversary celebration

What a great way to kick off the STUFFED Coffee Shop Weekend. Hope you coffee shop fans are ready to get your caffeine bzzzzzzzzzzz tomorrow - check out the Events and Howls & Meows pages.

STUFFED

This coffee shop weekend is STUFFED full of great events. ARGH. How can I possibly be in all these places at once? I can't, so I'm counting on coffee shop fans to check them out!  Support your locally owned coffee shops and the artists, musicians, and others who make them great places to hang out.

Coffee Shop Weekend

We're setting a record for number of events in one weekend at Triad Coffee Shops. Starting tonight, there are multiple coffee shops holding events through the weekend. Check out Friday & Saturday on the Events page.

One of these days, I'd like to make it to every event offered on a Friday or Saturday night at Triad Coffee Shops. It would require planning ahead with Mapquest. Some coffee shop fans might require a designated driver since more coffee shops sell wines & host Friday night wine tastings. Designated driver should be no problem, though. Doesn't everyone have a friend who prefers a caffeine bzzzzzzz and loves to down espresso shots?

We also have many animal related events listed on Howls & Meows. A fashion show, doggie jog, pet adventures, fundraisers, and more are happening this weekend.

OK, so this weekend whirlwind might not be something to write home about, but it's definitely something to write to CoffeeCat about! Don't be shy. Post comments about your favorite events!

Where will CoffeeCat show up next?

Keep checking the Events and Howls & Meows pages. You never know where CoffeeCat will show up (although we know it will be a coffee shop or someplace full of animals!). What do I always say? "So many coffee shops, so little time." I've already had to send that bow wow Mocha Mutt on recon missions to check out some Triad Coffee Shops. Geez!

I'm looking for one of those Jetson space vehicles, you know, a thingamajig, to get me to all the September events! Let me know if you see one in the classifieds! It's even faster than a cat leaping from the top of the refrigerator onto your head (ouch).

In the meantime, I've got plenty of caffeine to keep me bzzzzing around!

Enjoy your Triad Coffee Shops and remember: Take time to savor the coffee and pet the basset  hound.
