Topics that will be discussed: Volatility, …

Cafe Society is not a new idea. In Beethoven's time in Vienna, great minds gathered over coffee, a beverage that only recently had eclipsed tea as the Viennese hot beverage of choice, to discuss all manner of cultural and intellectual concerns, face to face, undistracted. The Stock Exchange of that day was conceptualized and created in a local coffee house. Coffee houses still exist today but Cafe' Society proposes a more social alternate to a computer screen. Discussion, locally produced art an …

It hit me that I bet there are plenty of others out there that would like to get out, meet new people, and enjoy a drink. I was thinking of meeting at a different Starbucks depending where everyone lives for each meet up. I'm open to other coffee shops and we can always vote if we want to stay with Starbucks or chose to altern …

We will try each of these coffee shops 1. BRIDGEPORT COFFEE HOUSE The coffee-roasting operation on the corner of Morgan and 31st Street is a point of pride for Bridgeport and a source of jealousy for almost every other neighborhood. Housed in a prototypically warm-toned, wood-heavy coffeehouse (only without the fleabag couches and drum-circle vibe), Bridgeport Coffee sets itself apart by roasting its own beans and brewing them with levels of respect usually reserved for presidents. The pour-ov …

All of us will join weekly lotto pools by scanning and emailing and then I will forward a number summary to the group for that week.
