I vote we put this amazing coffeshop in Kansas City.

MINE

How about in someplace where people actually drink coffee a lot, like the urban midwest, pacific northwest, or urban east coast?

Also pretty much constant pretentious indie music is in order. Sly can help with that.

Indianapolis doesn’t seem particularly urban relative to me. XD Like Chicago or Minneapolis, I meant. Indianapolis is cute and all, but…

This blimp is almost as big as my ego.

Put it in Chicago, because my half-sister lives there and she’s awesome.

It should have free Wi-Fi, but I guess that that’s a given.

Burned! xD

What about MGMT? Their lyrics tend to be pretty retarded, though.

Of Moons, Birds, and Monsters is probably their best song, although I hear Kids playing everywhere.

No. He’s more mainstream than the Jonas Brothers.

Seriously, what kind of a question is that?

Can I pilot the zeppelin?
Or maybe man the gun turrets?

*holds up hand*

It's how I know of him. In related news, I drove to Milton Keynes the other day, and it is actually pretty effing epic to drive down the motorway listening to Still Alive.

Heh, fair point. I was going to refute you brilliantly by listing all the non-geeky people that I know that play Portal, until I realized I don’t know any.

@RT3: Kansas City is amaaazing. We have fountains. >> We are second only to Paris in quantity of fountains. Surely that’s awesome enough for a coffeeshop.

Aheh. Yeah, well. We’re in the middle of a huge continent, not many travelers here. >>

Oppel. I didn’t like Airborn much, but Skybreaker was great.

There’s a third one but I haven’t read it yet. Uh, what makes you sad, Jeni?

Jeni’s sad because KC’s lack of hostels kept us cruelly apart. =(

Sting? Coldplay? Really? And Muse is too hard. Try…

Atmosphere
Blue Scholars
Belle & Sebastien
Beck
Iron & Wine
Jenny Owen Youngs
Feist
Ferraby Lionheart
Kat Flint
Cat Power
Of Montreal
Bob Dylan
Lou Reed
DeVotchka
Dresden Dolls
A Fine Frenzy
Garmarna
Great Lake Swimmers
Hawksley Workman
Andrew Bird
Ingrid Michaelson
Neutral Milk Hotel
Regina Spektor
Sondre Lerche
And others. You know it’s good if you haven’t heard of half the bands.

RT3, you're one of those indies who refuse to like Coldplay? ;) If it's good, I'll listen to it. And I happen to be hooked on their latest album.

How about:

Art of Fighting
Bearsuit
Brooke Fraser
Cedar Room
Josh Arnold
Muzzel
Nerina Pallot
Ray Beadle
Tripod
The Sundays

too? They're good coffee house music. :D

And hell yeah, Sting. The Police are one of The Greats. Of course Sting is a dick, but doesn't stop me liking his music.

Ok, I misinterpreted the ‘really’ bit. Sorry. :) I didn’t even bother buying X&Y… as much as I like the first two (especially Parachutes), the latest appeals more to my taste.

D: And I have this one friend in particular who refuses to listen to someone once they become “popular”.

No really.

Don’t ask me to interpret her brain. It is out of my comprehension.

Send it this way, baby. I always like new tunes.

OH, also, Sia. Excellent coffee house music. ^^

Guh, don’t sully my LazyTown. And you made me stop ‘We Are The People’. >:| You interrupted JIVE TIME.

I hope you’re happy. D:

I bet you’ve NEVER watched an episode in your life. ;_;

Oh, Sportacus!

Only a kids show can make cross-dressing Totally Normal. :D

Or SpongeBob.

Not for very much longer,
I’ve got to keep control.

I REMEMBER
DOING THE TIME WARRRRRP
DRINKING
THOSE MOMENTS WHEN
THE BLACKNESS WOULD HIT MEEEEEE
AND THE VOID WOULD BE CAALLIIIIIIIIIING
LET’S DO THE TIME WARP AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!

LET’S DO THE TIME WARP AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!

It’s just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right!

With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight!

But it’s the pelvic thruuuust
That really drives you insaaaaaaaaaaane!

LET’S DO THE TIME WARP AGAAAAAIN!
LET’S DO THE TIME WARP AGAAAAAIN!

How often will you have open mic? Once a week? So Mondays can be movie night, Tuesdays can be singles night, and Fridays can by open mic night.

Damn. How did I miss this thread earlier?

The music is pretty well covered already, although I could add some artists. :P

I think we should locate in Minneapolis. xP

PRAGUE. Heh, I’d enjoy that. ;)

Text

Chicago, pleeeaase?

London’s good. I vote for London.

...Why am I voting?

Sly says it goes in Chicago.

Create franchises of the II logo and we each set up a place in our hometowns.

Man, they would be epic coffee houses.

And good reading material on hand!

No reason why we couldn’t set up chains. :) (Well, except for cost and impracticality).

Text

Never! Chicago is like, a 10-hour drive from here, at least! And I don’t exactly fancy a couple hours flying, either. I’ll go with the several branches idea. XD

Text

YES!

What’s the logo?

Willow posted the logo above. Here it is again:

I dunno. I read the Weekend Web at SomethingAwful and it cracks me up more than Yahoo! Answers. Besides, SomethingAwful has a “how is babby formed” Flash animation done by Shmorky himself.

SA is good too, but YA is timeless. There are two kinds of users there: trolls and retards.

I’ll try in a little bit. No guarantees, though. I am not an artist.

Anyone know what font that is on the II logo? [Perhaps the Almighty SlyShy shall swoop down and answer…] =D

Either that or he got it from a friend who does stuff like that. I can’t remember at the moment.

Anyone know what font that is on the II logo? [Perhaps the Almighty SlyShy shall swoop down and answer…] =D

The font is Heleodora, which, unfortunately, is not free.

I wonder if the UN sent N. Korea a cease and desist letter in Impact font to show how dangerous and impatient they are.

I thought that it sounded more like an Elf city in Inheritance.
