My name is Andrew and I’m the current student manager of the Duke Coffeehouse. shoot me an email at dukecoffeehouse@gmail.com — we’re sort of in the process of collecting a history of the place and I’d love to chat with you.

thanks for keeping the place going. it means a lot to a lot of people.

I still refer to you as that any time your name comes up! You guys were the caucasion crew. Spelled real differently however. Come back to the right coast and catch some surf with us!

Both Chad and Ed, two people I deeply admire at Yahoo, have both tagged me on their weblogs. That means I’ve got to tell the world five things about myself that I you probably don’t know. I’ve had to go back and rewrite this twice, so the first thing about me you probably don’t know is: [...]

I ran the Sarah Lawrence College Teahouse in college but it was a much smaller affair. That’s cool that you consciously used your Pizza Hut delivery job as a way to have time to think about your next move. I did that when I biked across the country the summer of ’94. I left working on Wall St. and knew I wanted to do something entrepreneurial but didn’t know what–on the ride I got my idea to start my little erotic audiobook publishing house that I started in ’95 and sold to Good Vibrations in 2000.
Peace out, Molly

Renelvis. It would have been really cool to work at Pizza Hut with him. I converted an old Renelvis cassette to mp3 recently, so I’m once again grooving to “Don’t Drink and Drive.” Music with a message.

Uh, guess that’s what happens when you get distracted mid-comment and don’t proofread. But hey, I -really- like Renelvis.

I was in Durham 94-97 while working for IBM and I still tell people that my favorite show of all time was at the Duke Coffeehouse. Pine State was headlining and Her Majesty’s Secret Cervix. I think perhaps Renelvis played too. This was the show when the gimp was being rolled around on the gurney throughout and the drummer for Pine State pulled a knife on someone. I think Renelvis was there that night too.

I also delivered pizza for a year in Raleigh (Pizza Delight on Hillsborough St), but it was in 1986 before I went to university.

It caught my attention in your post, though, as I was an extra in the (bad) movie by the same name. I think I did that the summer before I started at Duke.

My first car was a Buick Regal, too. Probably around the same model year, since it had been my dad’s car for several years, and I started driving in ’83.

I couldn’t agree with you more about Willie – and I feel that there is a pig roast in our near future!

I got tagged Chad, Cody, Ian and some number of intermediaries back to the ur post. 1. I wanted to be an engineer from a very young age. When I was 5 years old, we had this yellow velour couch (it was 1982, remember) and solid oak coffee table. While my mom was talking to a friend or something, I placed one of the cushions between the coffee table and the couch. Then I said, “look mommy, soft bridge!” followed by one step and then the sound of my teeth making contact with the hard oak. Blood, tears, and a dental specialist for years didn’t get me down though: at age 8, I wore an MIT sweatshirt despite not knowing anything beyond the meaning of the letters. Not that I thought at ALL about the place between 8 and 22, but my 8 year-old self must have pulled some strings to get me in for grad school. [...]
