Hanging Out w/ Good Vibrations

Discovered the neatest place couple of weeks ago and I have to share. First of off I have always wished for a coffee house I could feel comfortable in, one where they speak the same creative language that I do. Well I think I have found it. It's called The Peaberry Bean & Beats on Barker Rd. in Whitmore Lake.

Talking and enjoying music in a relaxed atmosphere has been a craving for a long time. And I can be productive there. Let's face it, the chaos that is typical in the Lamocu office can be detrimental :) To get away, re-focus and re-energize is crucial and necessary for our survival. The idiots down the hall arguing over Clapton vs. Hendrix gets old fast---and that's when there IS an intellectual discussion being attempted.

Owned and operated by Pamela Sanderson, an accomplished singer and musician in her own right, the Peaberry Bean & Beats is a place I'm happy to be calling a "second home". Not only does Pam and her staff have great drinks they feature an array of fresh baked good, home made soups and sandwiches as well. Now what makes this coffee shop sooo different, what makes me feel sooo comfortable there is the devotion they have to music. Yes, music plays there (and not the Yanni stuff you hear at most coffee houses) but it's more than just a "theme" with Pam; they give lessons in the back, they have an open mic every Wednesday from 6-9pm, they have created the caffeine Nirvana for musicians!

When in beautiful Whitmore Lake stop and give Pam and her staff a visit. When it's Wednesday...make sure you take in the open mic. Visit them at facebook.com/peaberrybeanbeat

Got to run now, until next time keep your stick on the ice and stay tuned.
