The Weekend is Almost Here!

...so here is the schedule of Events!

April 11th: Latte Art Throwdown and Grill Out 8pm. Rosettas,
Charcoal Grills, PBR.

April 12th: City Wide Bicycle Relay Race, 6pm, Woodruff Park / Spoke Card Art Show, 8pm @ Octane, featuring work from numerous local artists. Race afterparty and race awards. Music by Zarlacc + Acidbath + Rhythm & Booze.

April 13th: Atlanta Pecha Kucha, 8:20pm. An evening of 20 slides at 20 seconds each. Each speaker has 6 minutes 40 seconds to share a slide show. Octane presents: Coffee In Reverse, and will trace a cup of coffee to origin in Rwanda.

April 14th: Rwandan Coffee Cupping, 7pm. Featuring Counter Culture's Rwandan coffees. Lorrie L. King with Just Cause, Inc. presents, Genocide: A Framework for Understanding.

In addition, Octane is celebrating the incomparable quality of Rwandan
coffee and the country's coffee-fueled triumphs with a month-long
series of events designed to honor and benefit the country's artisan
farming communities.

For the entire month of April, our regular espresso blend will be
replaced by a special, single-origin espresso roast from Humure,
Rwanda, a partnering coffee growing community of the Durham, NC-based
Counter Culture Coffee, which works on the ground-level with Rwandan
coffee farmers and supplies Octane with all its fresh-roasted coffees.
Also, instead of its normal daily selection, Octane's French press
program – which involves grinding and brewing to order – will feature
coffee from a different Rwandan coffee farmer cooperative each week.
