Busy, busy, busy! We had two successful events today! We had a meet and greet with the Indiana Speed, women's professional football team, and we were set up at the dog park for an event with Paws and Think.

The Speed event brought in a couple of new people who were interested in meeting our football players. We really had a good time with "Spoon" as our guest barista.

The Dog Olympics was a success at the Eagle Creek Dog Park. Paws and Think is a group that matches at risk youth with dogs to train. Bjava was a sponsor, our first time, and we had a table selling iced coffee drinks.
Let me tell you I wish I could have attended both events! Dara and Brian hug out with the puppies, while Lucy and I played with the footballers!

Have a great weekend!

New sign
Originally uploaded by

We finally got the Stanton circle sign off and the Bjava circle up!

There weren't a lot of choices for what could work in this space. Needless to say our logo would not work in a circle, well it would have left a lot of empty space in the circle.
We could have changed out the circle completely, but the space wasn't available with the what was there. We could have changed out the entire sign including "coffee shop", but the funding wasn't there.
So, with a bright light that you can read when you get closer to it, this at least will direct people to the words "coffee shop." I will try to get a better photo of it this week, this one is pretty washed out.

Hey this was fun!
Paul Poteet and Tom Davis from channel 6 news and http://www.theindychannel.com/offthecuff/index.html came into Bjava to film an Off the Cuff episode. Off the Cuff is an on-line video comedy in the youtube style.
Our episode was in the style of the game show, To Tell The Truth.
You see a couple of weeks ago one of my customers came in all excited, Ginger had heard Paul refer to "Betty Barista" on the morning weather report. Ginger was sure he was talking about me, since my real name is Betty. (Now you all know! Darn it!!)

Well I took the opportunity to e-mail Paul about myself and my shop. He told me that Betty Barista is a nick name he had given his producer, Betsy, and that this sounded like a funny story. That is when I found out about "Off The Cuff", and we started planning a meeting of the "Betty's".

Filming was done over an hour to an hour and a half period. It's funny how long something that will end up being about 8 minuets long can take.

You can watch the video at the about link on Monday, but for a good chuckle don't just watch my video watch them all!

Cheers!
