We’re partnering with the Heights Theatre for a very special Valentine’s Day offer - a delicious sit-down dinner for two at the Wilde Roast Cafe along with two tickets to that evening’s showing of the 1926 Greta Garbo movie Flesh and the Devil at the Heights Theatre - all for only $50!
Call or stop in the Cafe to make your reservation.
Our weekday morning barista, Teresa Mock, is putting on an autobiographical solo performance called Piece Story at Bryant Lake Bowl at 7pm on March: 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, and 10th. Teresa combines elements of storytelling, performance, art, and stand-up comedy.
My phone was ringing off the hook yesterday morning. A bunch of my friends heard BT, Lee and Jayne Haugen Olson on Cities 97 talking about the current Mpls St. Paul Magazine with an article on the 50 Hot Nights Out: Fifty great nights out to fit every age, personality, and mood. The Wilde Roast Cafe was in the BIG CHILL section. Jayne and the Cities 97 staff were talking about the cafe and how easy it was to hang out there.

On April 6th at 8pm, folk singer-songwriter Adrienne Nightingale (adriennenightingale.com) will be stopping by the Wilde Roast Cafe to delight us with her heartfelt and emotional songs.
Eric Himan (erichiman.com)will be back at 7pm on Saturday March 24th! Eric has a unique sound that crosses genres, with bits of Blues, Folk, Pop, Blue Grass, Country, and Rock all served up with a pinch of wit and charm.
The Annual Quatrefoil Movie Matinee is set for Sunday, February 25, 2007 at the Heights Theater on Central Ave. in Columbia Heights. The fun begins at 1:00 P.M.
This year’s feature will be extraordinary! Alonso Duralde, former arts and entertainment editor of the national gay and lesbian newsmagazine The Advocate, presents 101 Must-See Movies for Gay Men (Advocate Books, November 2005) a carefully curated A - Z list of must-see films every gay man (and woman!) should watch before considering his or her cultural education complete.
This list for bent film buffs covers all the bases, from Hollywood spectaculars to spectacular disasters, from critical darlings and camp classics to cult favorites and independent hits.
Along with Alonso, the usual suspects will be around — great organ music, Dilly Bars, door prizes, and the afternoon still costs only $10, to benefit your Q Library. Tickets available at Query Booksellers next door, at Amazon Bookstore, at the Library, or at the door.
Quatrefoil Library exists to collect, preserve, and share materials and information relevant to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and other sexual minority communities. 651.641.0969 | www.qlibrary.org
