I was kind of excited for a place to go get coffee sometimes, other than Coffee Culture. I just don't understand the bikes & coffee thing. Teach me. I pretty much have always gone to Maudes. my favorite atmosphere. Before the damn Starbucks appeared all over Gville or any other coffee option. Well, beside Leos that I did go to for years as well. Went to Volta once, was very uninviting. Too quiet inside, too much car exhaust outside.

i keep lurking by the place but it never looks open. I like Maude's ok but a lot of their employees are assholes and i can't stand people who wear fake glasses....

I'll check it out in hopes they have good food also because that is right in the middle of my super long .9 mile commute to work

Yipee sweatshop free clothing made in the USA that is shit quality...yaay! Nearly every damn band tshirt I get made by them already has a hole in it! Though I admit i love the fit. Their stuff is insanely expensive... and the fabric is so damn thin considering. What do they do to compensate for this? Bombard us with half naked homely looking girls on everything. I actually saw a full ass shot in one of their ads recently. Sorry it is going to take more than the guilt of sweatshops and the lure of sex to sell me on AA. I could go on but will end rant now.

At the Fest last year I bought a Strike Anywhere hoodie by AA. I rolled up the sleeves because it was really hot in the venue and when I rolled them back down the elastics in the wristbands were blown out beyond repair somehow. I owned this thing for like 10 mins and it was already ruined. So I ripped the sleeves off and then a dude at the venue got too close to me with a cig and burned a hole in the side. The thing was in the garbage by the next morning. I paid $35 for that fucking thing.

I bought the most comfy shirt from an awesome band that I stumbled upon accidentally one night. The hem on the bottom fell out the first time I wore it.
