In honor of Small Business Saturday I will be doing a Cafe Crawl. I'll be writing at local cafes in Lombard all day, ending with meet up at the Marquette Kitchen and Tap.

Come out and join me at any point during the crawl or do a cafe writing crawl in your home town.

Below is my schedule:

• 8:00 - 10:00 - Breakfast at the La France Cafe and Crepes-708S. Main St.
• 10:00 -1:00 - coffee atThe Corner House -100 W. St. Charles Rd
• 1:00 - 4:00 - Lunch at Shannon's Deli-11 S Park Ave
  • (Alternate option - head totheCarol Stream Library Write-in hosted by Sarah Kovac)
• 4:00 - 5:30 - dessert at Balkan Bakery -14 W St. Charles Rd
• 5:30 - 7:30- Meet up at Marquette Kitchen and Tap- 18 West St. Charles Rd

All locations have WiFi. Check with me for the codes.

All location, except the La France Cafe and Crepes, are within walking distance of each other in downtown Lombard.

Hope to see you along the way.

What a great idea! Wish I could do this, you know, family in town...

I work until 3 on Saturday, but I should be able to make it to Balkan Bakery and/or Marquette Kitchen.

I'm going to the Carol Stream write-in; I'll see if I can swing by Balkan Bakery afterwards.

Thanks,

We're at our third stop of the crawl, Shannon's Deli. They've got the Michigan/Ohio St game on, I'm trying to not be too distracted.

I would have like to join, but this is our second day with our newly adopted puppy, so we're trying not to spend too much time away from him. He's proving to be extremely distracting to writing, but he's adorable.

I demand pictures of this puppy! For, uh, inspiration?

Here you go. This is from day 1. He's currently chilling on my lap at the moment, but I don't have my phone on me.

He's such an adorable widdle shiba inu! I just want to boop his nose!

Great idea, Sam. Wish I could have been around--maybe earlier in the month next year?

I was thinking the same thing, we should do it earlier in the month next, even though it won't technically be Small Business Saturday.
