Free coffee at Mocha, thanks to the roaring lion

Published Sept. 18, 2007 at 3:48 p.m.

As a way to promote its new film, "Feast of Love," MGM sponsors North American Coffee Day on Thursday, Sept. 20, from 2 to 4 p.m. and customers of 92 coffee shops in 59 cities, including Milwaukee, will get free coffee. The same cafes will also give away promotional items and tickets to see "Feast of Love," based on a book by Charles Baxter.

If you wanna get your java on, you've got to hit Mocha, 124 W. Wisconsin Ave., as it's the sole participant in Brew City.

"Feast of Love" is directed by Robert Benton, who won an Oscar for "Kramer Vs. Kramer," and stars Morgan Freeman, Greg Kinnear and others. It opens nationwide on Sept. 28.

Folk made in Milwaukee

Published Monday, May 20

As part of "The Avant Garde Coffee House Project" exhibit currently on view, there`s a glass-topped case with some posters and a record. It`s a pretty nondescript thing, frankly, with a black and white photo and some not especially artful text. But that little record - "Blues, Rags and Hollers," by folk blues trio Koerner, Ray & Glover - made a big bang when it was released in June 1963. And it was made in Milwaukee.

Bike to Work Week events

Published Wednesday, May 8

Don`t feel like you need to ditch your car. The overall goal is participation. Don`t feel bad if you can`t ride all seven days, but don`t give up after only one. Take small steps towards enjoying riding a bike. If you find a problem, ask around for a solution; odds are someone has already figured it out. Bike to Work Week may not convert you to a spandex-loving gear head, but it might provide you with a new, fun weekly goal.

Speakeasy vibes

Published Wednesday, April 17

While Prohibition shuttered The Glunz - which recently reopened after 90 years - the 14-year ban on booze that began in 1919 sparked the era of the secret world of the speakeasy, especially in Chicago, where Capone and his contemporaries ran the show. Now, the Windy City`s passion for the speakeasy has been rekindled in a big way.

Avant Garde exhibit

Despite the fact that we had Dan Ball - a member of the legendary Velvet Whip - write about the new Avant Garde Coffee House show at UWM`s Inova Gallery in the Kenilworth Building, 2155 N. Prospect Ave., I stopped in last week to get a tour from organizer John Stropes.

Door Co. in winter

Published Friday, March 29

Door County is something of a ghost town this time of year - and frankly, that`s just how we like it. Seeing Fish Creek, Ephraim, Egg Harbor and Sister Bay all but abandoned in the middle of winter is reminiscent of the tranquil, removed setting and slowed-down pace that made these towns a tourist hotspot in the first place.

Vegas adds to the madness

The purpose of a recent trip to Las Vegas was to be there for the madness of the NCAA Tournament - and it definitely colored in the picture of college sports a lot more for me.
