Hey! My name's Chris!

Hey Pink-Boy!

My name is Chris and I am corporate coffee and book (and record store)
free. I'd like to avoid supermarkets as well, but most of the smaller
stores are gone and prices at the remaining ones are much too high for my
pathetic budget.

I do enjoy going to Borders and browsing - getting their books all nasty
and messing things up, then going off and ordering what I want from a small
bookstore with a nice cat laying on the counter.

A Starbucks moved into one neighborhood a little too close to home (and
three other smaller cafes) and the "STARBUCKS COFFEE" signs on the windows
were soon altered to say "FUCK OFF" by a wise and witty mensch. Reminds me
of the great Survival Research Laborotories billboard altering campaigns of
the late 70's.

By the way, all you Bay Area folks. Two words - Spinelli Coffee.

Buy it. Drink it. Love it.

Peet's is for Yuppie-ville hosers.

All the best,

Chris (aka WALLY)
