Have you been to the web site flickr.com yet? Anyone can submit photos for others to see. I ran the search for Wilde Roast Cafe and saw 19 photos have been uploaded for you to see. Check it out…then run other searches…like your home town. It is different than Yahoo or Google Images because it doesn’t pull images from other sources…only pictures that have been put on the site show up. This the most recent picture by plyduck on May 11th.

My college friend John Gerber will be opening up his studio during the Art-A-Whirl weekend (he will be showing at the cafe March/April ‘09). His studio is above the Sample Room on Main St. in NE Mpls, stop by and say hi to him.

MetroMix is a new online resource for everything and anything to do in the Twin Cities.  Check out their review of the Wilde Roast Cafe (and add you own).

This cozy, Oscar Wilde-inspired neighborhood café enjoys a strong following, in large part because of the slate of delicious (and award-winning) desserts. Enjoy their sinfully good La Bete Noire, a flourless chocolate that was featured nationally in Bon Appetit magazine. Though straight-friendly, owners Tom and Dean welcome are very welcoming to GLBT clientele. A crackling fireplace creating the comfy atmosphere in which to unwind after a long week.

With every song as good as the next, Jennifer’s powerful lyrics and intense vocals keep you listening to the end. With the release of her second CD, Jennifer succeeds in bringing her audience a new modern rock style never heard before.
