Jamie on the Bongos

this is jamie. when he comes to homer's he almost always gets a 20 oz. angel caramello with whipped cream and caramel drizzle. yesterday he played his bongos outside of homer's. you can hear jamie's bongo expertise here. we're also glad to welcome linda and bob to the blog! they received extra punches on their free drink card when they told us they read the blog on wednesday.

Two More Readers! Yay!

hey, guess what? this little blog attracted two more readers yesterday! how do we know? kristi and becky stepped up to the register and told us they read the latest entry about cavemen and tepid coffee. they each received double punches on their card toward a free drink. wow! if this keeps up, we'll have to record a different song about the blog.

Blame the Cavemen

why do we drink hot coffee instead of room temperature coffee? a recent article says the answer goes all the way back to the cavemen.

Almost Arnold Palmer Time

the warmer than usual temps have already made some folks thirsty for summer time drinks... like this arnold palmer that laura poured a couple of weeks ago. when it gets REALLY hot outside we'll make these drinks with homemade lemonade, but if you can't wait, we can make one for you with bottled lemonade that we have on hand. cheers.

Manamana

business was good at homer's yesterday (awesome!) after all the drinks and pastries were served, after all the dishes were done, and things slowed down i said manamana... and laura, glenn, mary, pretty much everybody knew what to do.

The Vernal Equinox

well it's officially spring, and what says spring more than clouds and rain in kansas city? if you're interested in finding out more about the vernal equinox and what it has to do with spring go here.

Way to Go Mary Ann!

mary ann bettis (not mary ann from gilligan's island) won a free drink just for reading the blog today! she actually made a comment on a previous post. thanks mary ann!

St. Patrick's Day

still no plans for st. pat's? join sky blue for a sesquicentennial performance TONIGHT at homer's! the fun starts at 7:30!

We All Scream

when i saw some modifications to the ice cream menu chalkboard yesterday, i knew laura had to be the culprit.

Here We Are Again

yesterday we switched to daylight savings time, today we're going to work with a little less sleep... it doesn't thrill me, but i know it won't kill me. hello monday.

David George Returns

if you missed david george the last time he was at homer's, drop by tonight after 7pm. that's when he will be playing acoustic rock for the masses... but if you just want to hear someone scream into a guitar's sound hole go here.

It's a Living

John's Custom Chucks

john ainsworth is a regular customer at homer's. he orders the same drink every day: small skinny mexican mocha with whip. there aren't too many variations to his routine, so when something DOES change, it's easy to notice... like his custom made converse chucks pictured above. they are hard to miss. ask him about the other 5 or 6 pairs he recently bought at the converse store.
