THE BEST PART OF WAKING UP IS MANTHOU NEXT TO YOUR CUP >>>
As we've mentioned ad nauseam, May is Bike Month - also hyped insufferably by Pierce Transit, Pierce County and the city of Tacoma. More specifically, May 17-21 (or this week) has been the Bike to Work Week Commuter Challenge where teams and individuals have competed to see who can ride their bikes to work THE MOST (or something ... ).
Capping off a week of hot, bike-to-work action, today the Tacoma City Council invites everyone to coffee from 7 to 9 a.m. at the UWT Starbucks and Market Street Satellite Coffee. Even better, as long as you don't mention the word "boycott" the coffee will be FREE, and the City Council will be SERVING IT TO YOU.
PREDICITON: Unknowingly, Joey Lonergan and Spiro Manthou will use this opportunity to film an Internet political campaign ad while handing out coffee, calling it "Two Guys, One Cup (of coffee)." Naturally, the video will go viral, and within a matter of weeks all the kids will be talking about it. Neither Manthou nor Lonergan will ever understand the reference, which is probably for the best.
Friday, May 21, 7-9 a.m., no cover
