Thanks for telling me about the "good coffee shops" thread. Didn't know about it. I'll check it out now.

Coffee Slingers is now officially the hippest coffee shop in town.

I spotted Wayne Coyne and his wife getting a cup of java Sunday morning.

Hey Crime - I thought it alreayd was the hippest in town - we all go there! Maybe Coyne finally realized it needed to be there!

Well, let's just say that for OKC, there is no one more hip than Wayne. If they were smart, they would have made him the customer of the week and slapped his photo on the wall (not this guy - even though this guy does look hip).

You've got to come in every day to get "Customer of the Week" status. Maybe if he visits more often. . .

Don't be silly! Wayne deserves customer of the year for just one visit.

It is nice, huh? I can't remember the last time I had a cup out of a brewer - although I am not against brewed coffee via brewer one bit!

It is amazing, however, the differences of the same coffee prepared in different ways. It is worth the try!

You're right! I did not even notice that after all the days I have looked at those posters!

The latte art demo should be interesting for those that are interested. Not sure how everything else will go.

"doing things themselves"... is this meant to be a negative criticism, is it some how more evolved or something to pay supposed experts to do everything? Sounds like another dependency to pay for out of pocket...The deep philosophical drive train and it's linkages of polished disposable income...Is this a club that is not measuring up or a coffee shop? Flaws are interesting, aren't they..irresistibly so...god bless, rise humans...

I know the owner pretty well. I'm glad she is doing so good. I know she was featured in "barista" magazine awhile back. I never saw the magazine but, as I see if you can make it into a publication under your profession there is something to be said about you.

I guess i'm not as cultured as some, so the "short, double shot cap, dry" sounds to me like a computer terminology. I talked with the owner and she is passionate about "real coffee." And bringing this idea to OKC. She has done alot of research into oklahoma and OKC. I hope she can achieve greatness!

They finally got the new sign up (or I finally noticed). It looks very cool. I saw it in the daylight but it looks like it has neon tubes. The design has a very urban feel so Metro will be pleased as plum even though he hasn't understood a single thing that yadillah nai has uttered on this thread.

Good one. Yeah that person is hard to understand.

I'm glad they got a permanent sign up. I thought I saw it in the far background of another pic someone posted. Hopefully it will help draw people that otherwise wouldn't know it's there. Glad to see AA coming up in the downtown scene. I just wish we had some real retail in AA besides CD Warehouse. They are true pioneers though. AA is perfect for street level retail district, and developers like Ruffin and Banta are trying to turn it into street level offices, stupid!

Went by tonight after a business meeting. A few of us guys got there at about 7:15pm only to find ourselves disappointed that the doors were already locked. They close at 7pm except on Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 10pm.

I'm sure they will stay opened longer as they go forward in business. The more people spend time downtown instead of elsewhere, the better!

It would be great to see them opened until midnight at some point in the future.
