From Licata Coffee Consultants: Come bask in the warmth of the KC coffee community. We’re all (no, really!) hosting a big old latte art throwdown, fundraiser for Noah’s Bandage Project, pop-up retail (vintage clothing and vinyl), live music, beer, and raffles- oh my! Doors open at 7- be there on time if you want a slot in the throwdown- the brackets will fill up fast. Buy-in is $10. We’re using a 48 person bracket with some byes that will be raffled and finishing with 3 finalists pouring in the final round. Judges may choose a winner from the 3 pours, or choose to eliminate one pour and have the top 2 repour for the $500 win. Pours start at 8 pm. Grudge matches will start later in the evening as well! All proceeds are for charity here, so we welcome your contributions of cash and rad bandages for Noah’s Bandage Project. Just save a little scratch for raffles, vintage clothing from Cable and Company, and records from The Vinyl Underground! That shouldn’t be too hard since the beer’s on us! (Bring your ID). 3936 Main St., KC, MO
