Friends-
Most folks are seeing green this week and hopefully that means more than green felt hats and artifically colored beer and cupcakes. There is so much out there that is truely green- the grass is greening up and money is green- sort of- and green eyes are to be adored- Yes, Coldplay knows what's up. Enough musing, because we're not really doing too much to celebrate St. Patties day except for our Irish Buttercream coffee offerings. We do have an exciting, busy week on tap so here goes.
Tonight, March 16, Cancellation
Yoga is cancelled for this evening. Please stay tuned for next week! Sorry.
Tuesday, March 17, 7PM St. Pattie's Day!!!
Along with Chess which is using the green checkerbords Tuesday night, there is a Wellness Expo happening from 7-8PM here at the cafe bringing to conversation many aspects of daily health- both the problems and the solutions.
Wednesday, March 18
9:30-10:45AM

Our veteran instructor, Sam, put folks to work last week as it was a unusually small class. He is great at engaging the present class and changing up the dynamics and intensity of the class so once again, feel invited to give Yoga a try and know that this is an amazing workout.

Friends-
Its pretty ragged outside. No doubt the snow is beautiful but I think it's now a lopsided appreciation or disgust for this current event with the public school children not minding and the commuting adults grumbling all the way to work.

First off we are going to try to the Carriage Rides again for this Saturday night. Trotter did loose a shoe which nixxed the rides for Valentine's night. Joe managed to get to Foot Locker yesterday so Trotter the horse is in shape to get the carriage riding again this weekend. Please consider reserving seats at the cafe for 5$ a person down-payment and tickets overall are 10$ for adults and 5$ for kids for the 20 minute ride.
From 7-9 and then some a really dynamic musical duo is performing at the Bean for the first time. Christine and Chad are in house with amazing guitar and vocals strung together beautifully. These musicians met at another local coffee shop and are developing their own musical identity and we are excited to have them with us at the Bean.

Fifty Degree February
Dear Friends-
Mr. GroundHog animal is probably shivering in his hole-home after scurrying back rather quickly last week- he is missing out on this beautiful weather but he's probably right about the longevity of this winter. But we'll take what we get and enjoy these next couple of days.
A special thanks to all of you who came out on Friday and Saturday night to enjoy Cappi Hour and the amazing music. We had a record crowd on Saturday night for Leon & Scott and Rocket 88 and it was such a pleasure to be on staff serving the masses and enjoying the melodies. We have a hoppin' week coming so please sift through the following details and flavors.
Wednesday, Feb. 11, 9:30-10:45AM
We have our introductory morning Yoga class happening this Wednesday with certified instructor, Donna O'Rourke. The class will resume the following week and will be centered on six-week sessions costing 55$ or 10$ drop-in fee for each class. Check it out.
7-8:15PM
Sam is still trucking along as the instructor of our night class featuring a Vinyasa style Yoga exercise. Please come a little early to claim your spot as we usually have 25-30 students each week. We are asking for a 2$ donation which does include a 50cent coupon to be used before or after class.
Thursday, Feb. 12, 7-9PM
This is an exciting evening for us with our monthly Open-Mic Poetry event. This month's open-mic is a tribute to the Reading author, John Updike. In honor of John Updike’s recent passing, we encourage people to read a short (about five minutes) passage that highlights Updike’s extraordinary description of ordinary things. A native of Reading, Pennsylvania, John Updike’s American Realism is often rooted in Berks County settings. Partipants are encouraged from all of the literary genre's and work unrelated to Updike can be read. Please keep in touch with Jodi Corbett jacorbet@comcast.net for upcoming themed poetry events and questions.
CAPPI HOUR!!! 5-7 PM Half price cappuccinos, lattes and mochas
Friday, Feb. 13, 7-10PM
We are in our third month of Open-Mic music here at the Bean. Mike Holliday has been a gracious host for the night and we hope to keep on bringing in new talent. Please come early to reserve a spot and we are generally allowing 3 or so songs per artist.
Saturday, Valentine's Day, 7-10PM
Mr. Joe Trotter is back with his buggy and horse and is offering 20 minute rides around historic Boyertown for you lover's out there. Tickets cost 10$ each and if you want to reserve a spot please come to the cafe and give a 5$down payment per person.
Saturday, Feb. 14, 6-11PM
And to melodize the horse-hoof harmony we have two sets of performers on Saturday evening. From 6-8, Mickey B is back with us featuring his home-girl Becky. From Mickey you can expect a solid and fun acoustic act with guitar and harmonica in tune. I don't know what Becky brings to the table but be surprised. Come ready to shout "Garbage!!!" when the time is right.
From 8-11 Mr. Dave Antonio is taking the stage with his varied instruments and language array. Dave is always willing to entertain and showcase his talent playing the guitar, flut, didgeridoo, sitar and maybe a few other selections.
Sunday, Feb. 15, 7:30-9PM
Front Porch Church is meeting up again and is featuring Rob Bell-avision. The subject is Love and in this NOOMA video, "Flame", love is understood and appreciated for all of it's multi-faceted power and spiritual nature. Convo is sure to follow. We have developed a monthly calendar for Church events and questions can be answered via email- luke.kasitz@gmail.com
That's all we got.
Hope this suffices
Thanks so much for your time and support.

Sing Song February
Neighbors/Friends/Patrons-
It is so good to be here in this community. We are delighted to see our cafe being filled with first-time and returning customers who love the coffee, enjoy the friendly service and expect to hear excellent music. We promise to keep up reinventing what we have to offer in terms of products and entertainment so please keep coming and remember that we definately make mistakes and need to know if something is not up to snuff- do it with a smile and we will bend over backwards to make it right. So, here's what's shaking this week...
Wednesday, Feb. 4th, 7-8:15PM
Yoga. This is a cafe standard these days with Sam taking the lead and a big class following suit. We start promptly so please come at least 5 min before hand. We are requesting a 2$ donation that includes a 50 cent coupon to be used before or after class please and thankyou. Additionally, Susie Arbonne will continue to be with us offering detox foot soaks which really enhance the exercise experience. Come out and give it a try
Also, a daytime Yoga class is starting next Wednesday starting at 9:30AM to 10:45 so keep that in mind. It will be based around a 6 week session which cost 55$ and 10$drop ins are welcome. Next week will be the FREE introductory lesson so come just to try it out.
Thursday, Feb. 5th, 7-9PM
Scrabble. It's a good time for those word enthusiasts out there so join in.
CAPPI Hour! 5-7PM Half Price Cappuccinos
Friday, Feb. 6th, 7-11PM
This is a full night of great music so you can't go wrong. Starting off from 7-9 is the Kyle Rawls band which is an acoustic duo performing classic country covers and gritty originals. One of the guys is in the Military and will be leaving the area to serve our country so this is a last horrah for the band. www.myspace.com/thekylerawlsband to check out what they do
CD and Friends is back with us to do what they do best- just jam with fun rock and blues medleys and improvisational renditions of "Biscuit" to humour the crowd. Their last show at the Bean found a rather lethargic crowd so get some espresso in you and be raucous.
Saturday, Feb. 7th, 6-11PM
And if Friday was not good enough, Saturday night will not disappoint. Starting crisply at 6PM, Leon and Scott are back with us performing easy listening rock and roll. This duo is great and is sure to energize the crowd who with anticipation will be waiting for...
Rocket 88! This junior high band from Oaks is back with us after their rocking January show. www.myspace.com/r88band will give you an idea of what you will hear but it won't prepare you for the quality of music and the crowd response generating- clapping and sing along and dancing to the very best Beattles, Dead and Almond Brothers covers and originals that surely belong to the 60s and 70s. Make it out and support these guys.
Sunday, Feb. 8th, 2PM and 7:30PM
I'm really not sure how Kid's yoga went on this Sunday or if we are going to continue it so keep posted and let us know if you are interested in it- hbboyertown@gmail.com
Front Porch Church will be meeting up at 7:30PM. We will be looking at an excerpt from Donald Miller's Book- "Searching for God knows what" and will be sharing communion together over convo and relationship. Interested persons can contact Luke at luke.kasitz@gmail.com
That's a wrap. Thanks for your attention and keep in touch with feedback and critique.
Much Love in the House
