National Kindle & Koffee Day!!

[koolmnbv]

Just read about this national day, anyone can join.. Anywhere all over the country at their own local Starbucks and/or Local coffee shop.

They are trying to get it rolling and set up, you might run into other Kindlers or you may not but it's a neat fun idea that I would love to see gain some attention.

That might be fun and I might actually get to finally see a Kindle in the wild other than my own!! 

So that would be Saturday, June 6 @ 10am at your local Starbucks or other local coffee shop? I would be willing.

[cdchandler]

I'd do it. 
The local one on 25th and Western in San Pedro would be nice.  Then off to the park to watch the waves and read in direct sunlight.

That sounds like a cool idea

Well, as it happens, I am showing my Kindle to a local person at a coffee shop today!

I think this is a great idea.

Saturday, June 6th, 10 am. There are several Starbucks here in Portland, Maine. I like the one in the Old Port but there you have to deal with parking. The one on Forest Avenue has a parking lot so that might be easier. And no, I am not going to the Starbucks at the rest stop on the turnpike!

Any Mainers here who want to chime in?

That actually sounds like a pretty fun idea. Providing it wasn't too much of a trek, I would definitely be interested.

[MarthaT]

Sounds like fun, I'll be there

[Susan in VA]

A fun idea  --   and there are at least four SBX within five miles of me, so that's easy! 

[BruceS]

I certainly won't be able to do it.

They actually erected a building about a hundred yards from my house that was going to be a SBX, but it never opened.

Since I haven't been able to drive for over 25 years for medical reasons, going to any one that is not within walking distance is not practical.

That's ok Bruce, I don't have a Starbucks anywhere near me at all - in fact don't even have a coffee shop closer than the airport, maybe I'll just take a cup of coffee outside and sit on the curb with my kindle!

Wow....that could be hard in Vegas. Just driving the five-six miles to school I pass eight Starbucks. I live across the street from two and a McCafe. Then there are two family owned cafes, two McCafes and a Coffee bean along the same route. (and my mom wonders why i can't kick my caffeine habits)

[L.Canton]

If it did end up being in Vegas, that would be perfect for me. I've been meaning to go vacation there anyway, and the weather has certainly been right for it.

I just posted the Amazon link to my fb page

Anybody planning to be at the Starbucks in Wylie, TX?

If it wasn't a 2+ hour drive I would love too!!

[Leslie]

I was just thinking, we could have a chat that could start at 10 am on June 6th, for those folks who are not near a Starbucks or can't get to one. Don't Starbucks have wireless? I could bring my computer and join the chat from onsite.

This could be fun!

I thought people in Texas didn't think twice about driving 2 hours...wide open spaces and all that.

I think that's a great idea Leslie. . . . .I am trying to figure out where there is a Starbucks somewhere fairly nearby. . . .I almost never go to them so I have to think where I've seen one.

Hey, DC folks. . . we can talk about this at our Kindleklatsch on Thursday WEDNESDAY (the 27th) and see if we want to descend en masse on any particular store. . . .

[Neversleepsawink;)]

Awww....I'll be out of town that day.  We are going to Big Bear for an early bday celebration for me.  I'm turning 30 soon, it flew by.

I thought we were getting together on Wednesday?  Or did it get changed to the 28th?  I just want to show up on the right day.

[akpak]

Last few posts in the other thread are for the 27th.

Wait, wasn't it on Wednesday?? 

Starbucks in Arlington....  I don't know where you are, but there's one at Pentagon Row (where all the outdoor restaurants are)  and there's one at Ballston.
