Dear Kid,

Just in case you weren’t sure, coffee is a big thing.

Not just in my world, but across the galaxy.

“Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised.” Kathryn Janeway, 2374

Fortunately, an appropriate celebration of coffee is coming to Cincinnati.

The Cincinnati Coffee Festival will be held November 11^th and 12^th at Cincinnati Music Hall. Yes, you heard read me correctly. The Festival will be one of the first events at the Music Hall after the renovation, which is very cool.

And there will be coffee, which is very, very cool. Or hot, depending on how you take your brew.

There will also be tea and chocolate and music and a latte throwdown and pastries and all sorts of marvelous things.

Makes you wish it were already November, doesn’t it?

“It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity.” 
― Dave Barry

The Cincinnati Coffee Festival (I do like saying writing that) is a benefit for Ohio River Foundation. Coffee and saving the environment. It’s a beautiful thing.

Love, Mom
