Celebrity Sighting at Hastings!
By AprillBrandon in Pop Goes the Culture
April 10, 2008

And by celebrity, of course, I mean me.

Okay, so I'm not "technically" a "celebrity" but for just one night, I will be one. See, Hastings Hardback Cafe is celebrating April being Coffee Month and each Thursday they are featuring happy hour from 6-8 p.m., complete with coffee samplings, special prices, drawings for prizes and celebrity baristas (ME!).

These "celebrities" include local TV, radio and newspaper personalities and since I've spent approximately $9 billion there purchasing coffee almost every day, I think they just decided to throw me a bone.

The event is also trying to raise money for local charities. Being that I am in the writing business, I chose the Adult Literacy Council (and not just for job security but because I also think it's a great program).

So, if you get the chance this evening, from 6-8 p.m., stop on by Hastings, buy some coffee, enjoy some music and conversation and watch me spill hot coffee all over myself and unfortunate customers. And if you're feeling generous, donate what you can to the Adult Literacy Council.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go get some Botox and eat some BonBons before my big gig tonight. Ah, the life of a celebrity.

    THIS evening?! You mean last night! How about a little advance notice? I, for one, would love to sip a cuppa joe with you.
    So when is your next appearance?

    Sure I'll bring you one, Dejasmom...although just a forewarning, the most complicated thing I know how to make now is toast. And even then, it's usually a 50/50 shot. :)

    Have fun tonight, hon. I will most likely be working. Make someone an uber good white chocolate mocha for me. :)
    Oooh, and if you remember [and have a coupla extra bucks], bring me one when you leave. I'll pay you back. If not, no big.
