Coffee and Comedy
Right now I am chilling at REV Coffee in Smyrna, GA. I just had the privelege of enjoying a stand up comedian competition hosted by bleepfreecomedy.com and leftarmcomedy.com. It was a good time and the coffee was great. The top 4 in tonights competition are going to participate in the Dogwood (festival?) here in Atlanta. One of the greatest things was enjoying the local atmosphere. The coffee shop is located in what used to be an automotive business and it is surrounded by businesses that still are. The comedians had a lot of material specific to Atlanta which proved to be very entertaining. Also mildy funny by way of irony is that my friend who only wears sweatshirts won a $25 in free dry cleaning from the sponsors of the event. Being the economically trained person that I am I was particularly captivated by the business model. A small coffee shop that supports local art, entertainment and education, profiting from the extra sales and stimulating the culture of the area – its great when you can generate an economic and a social profit. Good stuff.
