Today has been a productive and fun day. I had an audition for a choral position at a church and it went rather well I think. I would be terribly excited to get the job simply because I miss being in a choir and they sing lots of early music. Yay Latin!
After my audition I walked two blocks down from the church to a small coffee shop. I think I shall start mentioning local finds here in Lincoln, and this cafe will be the first. It is called Mo Java Cafe. If you are in Lincoln and haven't been there, I suggest you go. Take 48th to St. Paul st. and turn east (away from Wesleyan University). There is even off the street parking right next to it. The atmosphere in the shop is lovely. The people are friendly and the coffee is divine. I got their German Chocolate drink - Mocha with coconut and hazelnut added. It tasted so much like a German chocolate cake I was afraid I would inhale coconut shavings. I sat in a really neat comfy chair by the window, stared at their books and games and was more relaxed than I have been in a long time. They also sell teas, deli foods and deserts, and work by local artists. Today I saw some nice jewelry, beautiful ceramic mugs and plants potted in Japanese tea pots. I think I will be returning to that place quite frequently.
For my evening activity I will be going to a silversmithing class. This should fun... or painful if I do something stupid and burn myself. I'll let you know how it goes.
That sounds like a lovely coffee shop! And the church position sounds great, too - I'm hoping I can find something like that wherever I end up moving next year. Keep us updated on that!
ReplyDeleteThat coffee sounds absolutely divine right now. MmmmMmm! How'd the silversmithing class go? No injuries to report, I hope. :)
ReplyDeleteWaaaah.... I miss you....
ReplyDelete@Gillian: I was not able to get the church position, they decided to only add a bass, BUT the choir director did ask to keep my info for special events which is exciting.
ReplyDelete@MariposaLysa: The class went very well. I'm plotting now to get a whole silversmithing workshop built up for myself which should be fun to play with. :)
@Danae Andersen: I miss you too!
