I know, we don’t really have an “Employee of the Month” , but if we did Jake would have won this month. He saved us two thousand dollars by not serving the police-sting minor. Every year Minneapolis sends minors out to places that have a liquor license to see if we check ID. Well, we do check ID and Jake caught the sting.
Thanks Jake!

Hi Wilde Roast folks,
My name is Temim and I’m writing from New York-based The Shondes (www.shondes.com), and I wanted to say hi. We’re a queer/feminist band coming to Minneapolis on May 25th to play 7th Street Entry at the First Avenue and we don’t know a ton of people in Minneapolis, so we’re trying to spread the word to community people there - like you! We’re pretty excited to find a queer-friendly cafe like yours.
A bit about us: The Shondes are a quartet fusing elements of feminist punk, Jewish liturgy, and classical music to make passionate, political rock.
You can check out our songs at www.shondes.com/oursongs. But we hope to see you on the 25th, if you’re free - and do spread the word to the community in your neck of the woods.
Best and thanks,
Temim, The Shondes
