So, we are starting Art Openings here at Perk starting in January. We have all this great wall space and tons of talented people in the area with backgrounds in all kinds of art....so it just seems natural to have a place to show it off. Starting in January we will have photography by Kelly Planer. The opening is January 7, 2011 from 6-8pm.

I have to say it's been an enlightening experience in terms of pure coffee/espresso knowledge. Having worked for that big giant coffeehouse chain based out of Washington state, I can say without hesitation that far more care and expertise go into making your cappuccinos, lattes and mochas at Perk on Main than you'll ever get going to that place with the mermaid logo. Making great espresso beverages is practically an art form at Perk. If there's any doubt about that, just take a look at the amazing "latte art" atop your beverage as Jill and Casey slide your drink across the bar to you. Then take a big sip and really, really savor what is hitting your tastebuds. Nice.<br />
<br />
A big welcome to the other new guy at Perk on Main, Lucas, who kind of looks like Harry Connick Jr and apparently has a vast knowledge of Latin American economics.<br />
<br />
I'll leave you with a gratuitous self-promoting plug. I write comic books. I wrote a really good one back in 2002/2003 called <b>the forgotten</b>. Some very cool people in Hollywood are working really hard to turn it into a movie. I'm working really hard to write a sequel to the original mini-series. I think you should buy a copy of the original and read it. Go here: www.forgottencomicbook.com to learn more about it and order yourself a copy. Or you could just ask me about it at Perk as I'm scalding my hands while pouring you a piping hot cup of Shikasso (sp?).<br />

It's Jareth, the new barista at your favorite Emmaus coffee house. Not sure what she was thinking, but Jill had the crazy idea to grant me permission to be a contributing writer to the Perk blog. So, you will probably be hearing from me on a semi-regular basis.<br />
<br />
Today was my first day on the job. Kind of surreal to be behind the counter at Perk after years of being on the other side. I remember meeting Jill the first time soon after she took over the place. I decided to give her my <b>caramel mocha litmus test </b>and she passed with flying colors. Soon I was "Caramel Mocha Guy" and eventually became the regular customer known as Jareth, the talkative comic writer guy who works at Rodale but might be on the the verge of a movie deal.<br />
<br />
Well, I no longer work at Rodale, but I do have a movie deal...just no movie yet (that's a story for another post). So, while I'm waiting for my comic book series<i> The Forgotten</i> to hit the silver screen, I'll be working at Perk on Main with some of the nicest, coolest, most down-to-earth people I've met in the Lehigh Valley. It's a pleasure to be a part of the team. I look forward to meeting you, the Perk faithful and serving up some great coffee, making masterful espresso drinks and getting to know everyone better.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16840138490910884076noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217272111639766546.post-45880466131768171362010-06-30T07:46:00.001-07:002010-06-30T07:46:38.450-07:00Thursday MenuOn the menu for Thursday is:<br /><br />Granola- served with milk or yogurt<br /><br />Pizzeta(personal pizza)- Stonecroft goat cheese, caramelized onion, sauteed spinach<br />...<br />Quiche- Stonecroft goat cheese, onion & spinach<br /><br />Breakfast Burrito<br /><br />Wrap- chicken caesar<br /><br />Panini- "michigan"/ cheese, tomato & basil/ roasted chicken & sauteed peppers/veggie<br /><br />Sandwich-Chicken Salad or Classic BLTSee MoreJillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13877211306108013273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217272111639766546.post-11875329620132548082010-06-28T09:37:00.000-07:002010-06-28T09:40:11.312-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVk81wZM-34Qv0EfbNvXnF9wsEL1CfxfinyoJ-HNMGOY00zlSOd3hG1OwWRgUEdqejYWJEAnS1aYNg_COSrvLrXiEwsBvn1a-iVhQxzTt0DGSjE0Lqsxg7sTG1dWNGIBmgQQatmlZZUOGF/s1600/WBC+in+WDC+048.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVk81wZM-34Qv0EfbNvXnF9wsEL1CfxfinyoJ-HNMGOY00zlSOd3hG1OwWRgUEdqejYWJEAnS1aYNg_COSrvLrXiEwsBvn1a-iVhQxzTt0DGSjE0Lqsxg7sTG1dWNGIBmgQQatmlZZUOGF/s320/WBC+in+WDC+048.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487864971407709218" /></a><br /><br />Espresso X- diggin' in soon...Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13877211306108013273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217272111639766546.post-86306458595232753682010-05-26T07:59:00.001-07:002010-05-26T08:04:05.288-07:00New Emmaus Artisans MarketWe are pleased to share the great news, the Emmaus Artisans Market has received Emmaus Borough Council approval and opening day is scheduled for Sunday, May 30th.

Alt-bluegrass, American Roots Music comes closer, yet we prefer to keep our options open. With Dave Coin's sly banjo, Kelly's vocals, Joe Costello's alt-classical acoustic guitar and Dean Johnson's funky bass, you never know what the Perks will come up with next. From The Beatles and Nirvana to traditional Bluegrass, every Perks show is full of unmistakable style and fun.Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13877211306108013273noreply@blogger.com3
