Coffee and Corduroy

Decided to check out the Bard's Thursday Nite ThrowDown.  It's an all comers Barista, best looking Latte (everybody throw a little money in the pot winner takes all) competition.

And the winner is, the Bard's own Justin McEdward

If your an aspiring Barista, check the Bards website or the Portland Food Map's calendar for the next Throw Down.

Before the action got going I looking thru the various cards, along the back counter, advertising various events and spotted a Launch Party at Corduroy, 59 Market Street, for the summer collection of JAQK Apparel.  Corduroy bills itself as a combined lifestyle boutique, gallery & social scene, hosting monthly shows with openings on Portland's 1st Friday party. Details can be found on their website.
