If it's not too much to ask I'd enjoy weekly/semi-weekly updates; I've never known anyone who started a tangible business from the ground up.

I second this; I think it's quite inspiring to actually hear about alternatives to a 9 to 5 job, and directly from the person him/herself instead of another person investigating. Whether it be a success or not (I hope the best for you, cgod) it still proves an insight to a world I may never be able to enter.

Take care of your health though.

Hear, hear. How about a distinctive tag?

#coffeeski? #businesski? #coffski? #brewski? (I'm sure that one's taken) #dripski? (sounds like an illness) #cgodrunshimselfragged? #creamnosugar? (sounds vaguely sexual)

Hmm... we'll get there, we'll get there...

I like brewski, but it makes me think of beer before coffee.

What's "sugar", then?

Herpes.

...you know that feeling when you receive an answer with something as repulsive as that yet can't help but smile because it's clever shit? Spot on.

I second this! Also if it'd be possible to pm me the link to your Facebook page I'd be happy to add a like to your social media metrics and see what's going on!

Think I'll be in Portland at the end of this month / beginning of September, and am very much planning on stopping by when that happens.

The poetry night thing is kind of hilarious.

I'll be updating on a weekly basis in the near future.

I won't be having a poetry night if I'm the guy that has to stand behind the counter.

I look forward to meeting you!

I'll try and to remember to send you the Facebook link tomorrow, I'm keeping it in quarantine and will have to pull it out.

Having a poetry night in Portland is like... shooting yourself over and over again with a nail gun. Etc.
