Mark Your Calendars: October 21st

Anyone who's anyone will be at The Coffee Ethic on Tuesday, October 21st. It's SKINGO! (Skinny Improv, The Coffee Ethic, & Swagbot Bingo)

Mix Tape Bingo Rocks!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have made history as The Coffee Ethic's first-ever Mix Tape Bingo winner!! (Actually I tied with another girl, but I think that's because we may have had the same card.)

We must've been on a roll. Our table won 3 out of the 4 games played at Mix Tape Bingo.

How does Mix Tape Bingo work, you ask? They play a lot of cool songs while you play Bingo. You have to name them...whoever gets the most right, wins a cool prize. Of course, there are other prizes for the Bingo winners (and they are equally cool!)

My friends Joanna and her husband Mark both won...

The only one who came up empty-handed was Jimbo.. but he didn't walk away empty-handed. I am getting a kewl SWAGBOT t-shirt made especially for him. SWEET.

Definitely one of the highlights of my week!

A Circus For Your Mind: Mix Tape Bingo

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO TONIGHT?
SWAGBOT AND THE COFFEE ETHIC ARE HOSTING MIX TAPE BINGO!

It's tonight at 7:30 at The Coffee Ethic. Co-owner Tom promises to have great music and fabulous prizes. I asked what kinds of prizes, and Tom said, "Well, it's being put on by a coffee shop and a t-shirt company, so..." Okay, got it.

If you've read this blog before, you may know I am a HUGE FAN OF BINGO!

National Library Workers Day!

Today is National Library Workers Day.

NLWD is a day for library staff, users, administrators and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers... give them a hug!

Personally, I have a new appreciation for library workers. Why, you ask? Because I AM ONE!!

Yes, I've taken on a new job. It's part-time, (and I'm still working at KSPR...) but I am proud to be apart of the group that helped open the new Park Central Library in downtown Springfield!! It is totally cool.

me, Alan, Grace, Aleah, Julie, Jazy

My co-workers are smart, funny, creative, plus, they love to help people. Aleah, my branch supervisor, even said that I have a knack for being a librarian (or something like that... probably because of all of my fierce google searches). That's nice to hear, though, because she got her masters in library science, and dumb ole me is struggling to figure out Mobius, the interlibrary loan system, and COOLcat. See, there's a lot to learn about libraries!

Anyway, come by and see us! Our little claim to fame is having newer material, more newspapers, and a modern bookstore vibe. We're also attached to The Coffee Ethic, my new favorite place to grab a cup of joe!
Makes me wonder... why is there no national day to appreciate journalists? At least today, the library gave me a nice, round chocolate chip cookie. It smelled sooo good... needless to say, I didn't eat it.
