The Bobby McFerrin concert was fantastic! It was actually better than I could have even anticipated. There was once vocalist that really stood out though. Beth Quist, previously with Cirque Du Soleil, was this amasing soprano - her piece was a Indian influenced, mesmerising vocal experience. Swing by & check out her website at Best Quist Webpage . So, anyway, it was stunning all in all. Then we went to Starbucks & let me tell you this much: I don't give a fuck how long they trained their staff for, their coffee fucking sucked. I waited 15 damn minutes to order a 2 drinks, one of which they forgot to make. Then it was wrong - they didn't put enough coffee in it. Then when I finally did get the damned thing it tasted burnt. Sure I hate em because they're the competition, but I really remember why I haven't been to a Starbucks in 8 years. It's cos they suck.
The concert was great though.

Shame about the coffee though. I have a friend who owns some shares in Starbucks. His dad told him years ago that he should invest some money and gave him free choice as to where he should put it. He chose coffee!!
Needless to say, he's not seen much of a return so far but insists that his fortune is not far away!
We'll see.
As far as coffee goes everyone says that Tim Horton's is the best, but apparently there's some sort of trade issue with wherever their beans are produced. We can't get it. BUT one of my mates is going to Canada this spring so I've enlisted her help in procuring this miracle coffee. I must have it lol. They won't even ship here from what I understand. I'll let you know when I try it!
