Today, Fletch and I will be blogging from the B-Cup Coffeeshop on 13th St and Ave B in Alphabet City. This is fun. Sam Cooke is playing. That makes me happy.
One of the stated purposes of this blog is to chronicle our experiences as we search for work. Today, we venture out of the solitude of our respective apartments and decide to be social! While some of the things we write about will be unique experiences, this one, spending the afternoon in a local non-corporate coffee shop, is probably one of the most universal experiences we will write about (you know, besides getting rejection letters).
Since, I don't quite know where else to take this post, I'll list some things I look for when picking a coffee shop:
1) Good Coffee. If you've read my previous posts, this is important to me. Today, I bought a coffee, and its pretty good.
2) Comfy Chairs. Unless you're reading a really difficult, old, nonsensical British case from like the 1600s where you need a really uncomfortable chair to keep you from falling asleep, comfy chairs are a must.
3) Non-corporate. I like to support my local small business owners. All things being equal, if a non-corporate coffee shop is across the street from Starbucks, I'll go with the small place every time.
4) Music. I love music. If the music sucks at a place, im going to put in my head phones, and tune out the world. And that kinda defeats the purpose of working in a coffee shop. So far, I've heard some Sam Cooke, some bloc party, some Zepplin, some Hendrix, and some Johnny Cash.
