    MBC #52: A Canadian in Texas
    Filed under (Coffee Chat, Guest Show, Podcasts) by the second brain @ 02:27 am

    Canada and Texas Coffee Mugs-Our good friend and fellow podcaster, Ajay from All Axis Radio came all the way from Canada to join Jennifer and Jackie in the sound booth.

    - So what happens when a non-coffee drinker spends time with the Coffee Gals?

    - Texas stereotypes: The Good, The Bad and the Downright Hilarious

    - Driving in San Antonio is not for the faint of heart

    - Riverwalk fun: Ajay meets some REAL Mexicans
    Real Mexicans in San Antonio, TX
    - Jennifer manages to offend all kinds of folks on this show. Send your complaints to…..

    - Everything is bigger in Texas even the bugs

    - “Do be do be do” - Chocolate-covered coffee beans to the person who can name that tune.

    In case you can’t tell from all the laughter, we had an amazing time with Ajay. We hope to either make it to Canada soon or perhaps he’ll make a return visit. You know the old saying, ” I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as quick as I could.”

    If you want to hear some great Canadian Indie Rock, we highly recommend you head over to All Axis Radio. Tell Ajay the Coffee Gals sent ya.

    MBC Special Report: Starbucks Closing for 3 Hours

    The Coffee Gals take the show on road via Utterz for the 3-hour closing of Starbucks.

    Our first stop is at Cafe Oasis in the Clear Lake area. Not only did the guy behind the counter know nothing about it, he actually had the guts to tell us, “Coffee is Coffee.” We almost walked out without our coffee when we heard that.

    We did stop by 2 Starbucks locations to see if there was any mayhem happening from caffeine-deprived folks. You can hear our thoughts on the whole experience here:

    Morning BrewCast We hear from Charles Cadenhead of Mostly News and Desperate Husbands. Charles has some coffee bean roaster questions, offers us a helpful tech tip in regards to our new Grand Central Number 210.880.GALS (4257) and gives us a detailed explanation about the difference between basements and root cellars. Thanks so much Charles for your audio comments. Be sure and check out his shows. We find them both informative and entertaining!

    There is also a report out that puts the Coffee Gals in a group of older affluent consumers. Does this mean snooty times ahead?

    Coffee News and Comments
    Filed under (Coffee Chat) by caffeinatedgirl @ 12:56 pm

    Gooood afternoon all.

    We wanted to say thanks for all the great feedback on the last show.

    And thanks for the tip from Janie as to where we can all get some of that Amazing What’s Brewing Coffee
    on the Southside of San Antonio. Lucky for me they also can be found at HEB Central Markets.

    I have some interesting Coffee News that was on CNN this morning. Apparently Starbucks revenues are down and they’re feeling the crunch from competitors that offer the good stuff.

    Jennifer thinks their revenues are down because of the revolution we are leading…

    I think the consumer can tell the difference between a push button espresso & one that is hand crafted…mmm Ok, I’ll be back….or will I, Dave?

    MBC #45 Blogtoberfest Fun in San Marcos, TX
    Filed under (Coffee Chat) by the second brain @ 11:32 pm

    The Coffee Gals spent the weekend in San Marcos for Blogtoberfest & BarCamp San Marcos organized by Connie Reece & Erica O’Grady
    Check out our latest pics on Flickr
    Jennifer did an interview with San Marcos City Councilman, John Thomaides & Chamber President Phyllis Hunt at Blogtoberfest for the San Antonio Podcasters http://sapodcasters.com

    City Officials in San Marcos really understand Tech/Social-New Media and want us to help spread the word. With the warm welcome we received, we’ll be doing just that! A heartfelt thanks to Scott Gregson of Gregson Investments for his generous hospitality. San Marcos ROCKS!

    Jackie finally has the perfect mug shot

    REVIEW: High marks to The Root Cellar in San Marcos for delicious food and a perfect cup of brew. This cool little spot has an artsy vibe with a friendly staff. We give it “2 CUPS WAAAYYYY UP!” Yummy! Be sure to make time to visit this fine establishment.
    We did have a “Cups Down” review too, but the name of that spot shall remain nameless. While it did have a really neat cozy vibe, the coffee was less than stellar.

    We may have gotten Chris Brogan, co-founder of PodCamp, to commit to attend PodCamp San Antonio: Numero Dos! Woot!

    Jackie wants to organize a JenCamp while PodCamp San Antonio is going on. Bring your tents & sleeping bags! Don’t forget to bring your Texas passport Ajay!

    Check out the video from the Graphic Designer/Podcaster Party

    Jennifer was attacked by a pack of puny chihuahua’s

    The San Antonio City Cynic and his Muse will be tying the knot soon. Expect to hear the coffee side of the nuptials from us.
