Thanks to the Art-A-Whirl we had our biggest day on Saturday!
When we developed the idea of a gathering space in NE Minneapolis we hoped we would end up with regulars to sort of give the place a face other than ours. Now we have our Norm and Cliff. Their names are Pete and Jemal. It is nice to see them in the cafe and Dean panics if they are not there. Say "Hi" to them next time you are in the Wilde Roast Cafe. Pete is a writer and usually has ice tea by the fireplace. Jemal is working on his PhD at the U of M and is usually working on a lap top at one of the high tables. We also have a Dr. Fraiser Crane, his name is Matt and he sits with Jemal. Matt is a brain...working on his PhD at 22!
Dean and I are trying to think up other fun nights besides the Wednesday Jazz. Some ideas are a game night, where you could come and play board games and meet people. Another idea is a showtune night. We would hire a piano player and everyone would sing along. Email us if you have any interest in either idea.
