we all know someone who said something that stuck with us. that is the basic definition of a quote. whether it was nathan hale - "i regret that i have but one life to give for my country," or marie antoinette - "let them eat cake," we all know some quote that is memorable. coffee quotes on the other hand may not be memorable, but they are cool. someone once said - i guess the coffee just wasn't strong enough to defend itself. was it tom waits? ken nordine? conan the barbarian? if you're the first customer with the right answer (must be present to win) you get a free drink today! everyone else gets double drink card punches for trying.

You Need a Cup of My Java

i watched this movie over the weekend. steve martin edited himself into a few old movies and made this one. i think he did it so he could share the screen with great actors like burt lancaster, ray milland, and barbara stanwyck. if you're the first customer to tell a barista the name of THIS movie you get a free drink today! everyone else gets two punches for trying.

they said it couldn't be done... but after a two month commitment to play at every backyard campfire in a 6 block radius, the subs return to homer's tonight. the subs are dave cedillo and chris mull, two guys who aren't afraid to take a john denver classic (country roads) and change the lyrics to reflect life in johnson county. see you at the show.

Bob Jenkins Tonight

bob jenkins is playing at homer's tonight at 7:30. bob is a talented singer/songwriter, and he also does cool renditions of other artists' music. there is one song that bob has in common with coldplay and young at heart. if you are the first customer to correctly identify the song, you get a free drink today! everyone else gets a double drink card punch for trying.

Aimee and Rachel Win Big!

no one was happier than aimee b. and rachel b.

Before It Was Homer's

sometimes a customer will ask me "what was here before homer's?" i could reference a local website with a huge collection of pics for long gone businesses in the greater kansas city area. there's also a great book series that show parts of town from 50 or 100 years ago! anyway, you're probably wondering 'what WAS at 7126 W 80th St. before homer's?' was it a gas station? a bookstore? a women's fashion shop? if you're the first customer with the right answer you get a free drink today! everybody else gets double drink card purchases for guessing.
