The cafe....made my day!

Had a long, crappy day at work yesterday. Wasn't a great day to say the least.

I get home as usual, get cleaned up, eat some dinner and then sit down to check what's been going on in the forum. A quick check of my email and I see this message:

Just wanted to say thanks the the cafe. This is freaking awesome! I know, it's not the lottery but it kinda is to me being the guy that doesn't win things....lol.

Thanks Scott!

I too initially won one of the hats - but then somebody on the Cafe' staff heard my mandolin playing and quickly decided to rescind my winnings . . . .

Easy come, easy go.

Congrats Scott!

so the winners are named Scott. I think I see a pattern here :))

Scott is the sender of the email...notice it's inclusion in the quoted area?I

My name's JT....LOL

Congratulations! I didn't realize the ball caps in the news section was a giveaway. Lol

If I remember right it was for signing up for the newsletter.

Visiting the Café after a long day at work is very frequently the bright spot of my day....

Can I have an AMEN!?

Amen!

Only thing I have ever won was the December 1969 lottery to join the army and go to Vietnam !

I won my wife!

Was that a plus or minus ? :)

WORK …. meh.

Didn't win but had to buy the BLACK for sure as my last TAN one got ruined!

Long before the cafe I used to subscribe to the Mandolin World News. It was a little magazine printed on several 8.5 X 11 colored sheets stapled in the middle, but it was a life line.

But for MWN there was precious little mandolinfo to be had anywhere, and I must have read every issue two or three times. The day it came in the mail was an automatic diner day, and I would make an evening in the diner hanging on every page.

The cafe serves that purpose today. Recently there are mandolin related Facebook groups, but they are more an amusement. A distraction.


The only competition the Mandolin Cafe has is turning off the computer and playing mandolin.
