coffee and community

[enochs-fable.livejournal.com]

Hi there!

I'm a student working on a project about baristas, indie coffeehouses and their relationships to the communities around them. So, I'd love to talk with baristas or staff at Diesel or Bloc 11 in Somerville who are willing to share their experiences over lunch or a hot beverage (I'm buying). I'm interested in stories or reflections about working and the connections to the area.

Email me at nameofdog AT yahoo.com if you're interested.

Which would have been how long ago? I think the first time I came across "Cambriville" (different spelling) was in the epic thread over at the SN site after Rebekah Gewirtz defeated Jack Connolly in 2005. (And I'd like to meet whoever was posting under CambrivilleNews someday...)

Not sure about how long "Camberville" (apparently the present-day preferred term) has been around. Anyone?

I'm not sure when I first starting using Camberville out loud, but offhand, I can find references in my LJ going back to 2003, anyway. (I think the 'Cambriville' variation is rather awkward, personally.)
