Something caffeinated this way comes.

As many of you caffeine-addicts may already know, and as Yes But No But Yes reports, Starbucks announced a couple weeks ago that something HUGE was going down April 8th in Manhattan’s Bryant Park. We have no idea what it is nor, but it’s going down tomorrow at noon.

According to the email pictured below, the coffee corporation invites people who cannot make it to Bryant Park to enter any Starbucks at noon to get in on the party.

My guess is that they’re giving away free coffee. And if my guess is right, that is going to be a serious letdown after all this hype.

Starbucks has been proclaiming for months now that they’re on a new path, ready to make huge life-altering changes to their company. Rumors floated around that they would start offering 99 cent cups of joe to compete with McDonald’s new line of gourmet coffee drinks, but that quickly got canned. The same goes for their plan to launch a line of breakfast sandwiches.

At least they are taking the opinions of their customers seriously. They’ve launched a national campaign to get the word of the people called “My Starbucks Idea.” Think of it as a sort of Digg for coffee-drinkers. You can upload an idea, leave it to be voted on by your peers and wait to see if the big shots at Starbucks think it will fly. Some of the ideas are already labeled as being “Under Review,” meaning yours could be on its way to implementation.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
