This week’s coffee morning is being held again at JP Wine Bar and Coffee House (directions) @ 7:30am.

Last week’s get together was yet again the largest we’ve had so far, and I’ve already heard from others who plan on attending this week. Hell, I plan on inviting a group of journalism students from Oklahoma State University this afternoon. :)

Again, if you’re in the Kansas City metro area, it doesn’t matter if you’re in advertising, web development, or whatever it is that you do to pay the bills. We’d like to have you for a morning of good coffee and conversation.

KC Coffee Morning - January 19, 2007

In the spirit of what Coffee Mornings are all about, I thought I’d also start posting about where each week’s get together will be held so that we might begin to expand the group a little more. Slowly but surely, each week sees some new faces, and we’d like to see yours if you live in the Kansas City metro area. And if you don’t, we encourage you start your own wherever you live. It’s great to take social networks old school.

The coffee morning for January 19, 2007 is being held at JP Wine Bar and Coffee House (directions) @ 7:30am. We’ve had one coffee morning at JP so far, and I think their coffee has been my favorite so far. I hope to see you there!

FYI, here’s some frequently asked questions pulled straight from today’s AC post:

Do you really meet up at 7:30?
Yes, yes we do. Well, some of us are there at 7:30… don’t feel like you HAVE to be there on time — but know that you’ll miss out on some good stuff if you aren’t. (Jeremy’s note: I usually get there around 7:45.)

What do you talk about?
Anything and everything. It’s not an Ad-Industry-only kind of thing. Have good stew the night before? Wish you could compete for World’s Strongest Man? Really dislike the new Subway ads? It’s all game here.

Is drinking coffee required?
No. But it should be mentioned that coffee is a wonderful antioxidant and it enhances short-term memory.

Is talking required?
No. Morning grumps are welcome. But we may point and laugh at you. We’ll also take a photo of you, too.
