I'm sitting in an empty coffee shop. On the couch, there are 3 pillows that don't match the fabric they are laying on. The stage isn't cleared, the mics are still in their prospective homes without voices to make them useful. It's nearly 2 AM, and I'm exhausted.
4 bands/musicians played sets tonight as I hurriedly made many grilled cheese sandwiches and large batches of tomato soup for the giddy listeners in the audience. I spent a great deal of tonight making scrumptious coffee drinks and laughing with friends as I "worked" my 7:30 PM - 2:30 AM shift.
My coworker is cleaning up, as he is allowing me to rest as we close the shop. I was the victim of heat exhaustion near the end of the night, and he has kindly put on the soft and alluring sounds of Jason Mraz as I type this.

I work at Jacob's Well; a late night coffee and tea bar. It's a highly enjoyable volunteer position, where I get to sit around with friends, make batches of cookies and coffee, and enjoy the occasional live band.
Tonight, I was introduced to the band "The Photographers" from my town. They are incredibly kind people, and their music is so lovely and ecclectic, I could listen to them sing for hours. (http://www.myspace.com/romanticbandits)
They had their last show in Michigan tonight, and now they are off to England! That's so exciting!
I really look forward to Thursday nights, because usually it's the night I get to unwind and enjoy a good cup of coffee.
Current music : Romantic Burglar - The Photographers
Much love!
