Yesterday got off to a great start when saxophonist Will Zalokar walked through our doors and became one of our besties. We are so excited to welcome Will and Zalokar Entertainment to our cafe every other Wednesday evening for "Wednesdays With Will," a smooth and saxy spin on your favorites. You won't want to miss it: no cover charge and the cafe will be featuring a special menu.

We began planning Penny's birthday party and have decided on an Open House Jam Session! All musicians welcome to come in and play on the stage, sit with other musicians, have a cocktail and snacks and dance until you can't dance anymore!

One of our beautiful new Brides-to-Be dropped in with her adorable little girl and bestie and continued making plans for her upcoming wedding while her little acorn colored and had a very special treat. I believe we have mastered the hot cocoa now. What was missing? Sprinkles... xo

Keyboardist Kelley Keys dropped in and tickled the real ivories on our gorgeous piano before taking a tour and had a tough time leaving... we know, Kelley... we know.

As we are getting more and more visitors we are looking for volunteers who are interested in learning the deep history of the building and conducting tours, welcoming people and helping in the cafe, and learning the menu and working on the kitchen line.

And finally we worked on our fall menu, added a new dessert, cleaned the big floor and Patti set up the entire theater as a pre-set for a huge show coming in October.. and she did it all by herself as I pored over licensing and permits.

It was another great day at The Lit
