There is one coffeeshop we frequent, that reminds me a little of that scene from the first Star Wars movie. The Spirit coffeeshop is always full of diverse people from different parts of the world, as the Star Wars bar was full of space creatures from different galaxies. The music here is a mixed bag, consisting of your average Bob Marley, The Doors, and Pink Floyd tunes, to the worst club techno music you have ever heard. The wierd thing is, the old haggard locals sing along to the rave style euro-trash beats (imagine your grandpa singing along to "Barbie girl"). Not only is the music eclectic, but this place has some respectable atmosphere. The walls are lined with 1980's psychedelic fantasy art, and the skylights provide some natural light to illuminate the thick smoke lingering above the pooltables.
The best thing about the Spirit Coffeeshop is the games, they have billiards, foosball, air hockey and more. I found my self getting whomped at 8-ball by some middle eastern guys. They showed me how to play by "Dutch rules" which means I get my ass handed to me (it was actually really close). Though lately I have been working on my pool game and soon hope to hustle them for some serious €€€... (Just kidding).

This place sounds like fun, how's the coffee?
Was that snow I saw in one picture?
We are sure getting our share of it almost everyday we wake up to snow not much but it is cold and it freezes and it is a mess to drive in. I want SPING to come. I never heard if the ground hog saw his shadow or not but I want some warmer weather.
Great pictures!

When we go we normally have tea and red bull. Joey and I learned all the rules of Dutch 8-ball, and Joey won yesterday. It was pretty cool.
