School has been in session for a while, the leaves are turning red, and if you’ve been around for some time, you know what that means: the first East Side Coffee House is on Friday, October 25 from 7 to 9 P.M.  If you’ve never been to one before, this is a good opportunity to get involved in some of the wonderful things that it has to offer.
At its very core, it is a loose interpretation of a beatnik cafe, which was a popular movement back in the 50’s. However, the newspaper staff decided that dressing all in black and using only bongo drums for accompaniment was boring, so we jazzed it up a bit. The Lower Commons is restructured to become the main body of the cafe, and a stage sits right in front on top of the steps. We also offer a food table where we sell baked goods and drinks for whatever the weather is outside, whether it’s freezing cold or slightly warmer than room temperature. Food choices can vary from cookies to cupcakes, and there is always something warm to sip on as you watch the performers. An open mic is set up for anybody who wants to sing, recite, monologue, play instruments, or more. Everyone is welcome, whether they’re from East or another school.
East’s Coffee House is a great time to relax and unwind after a day at school, so come on in and check it out!
