| It's Ten Years !!! It is hard to believe, but 2006 is the year that we celebrate our ten years on West Marshall St. in beautiful Norristown. With the help of many people - we experienced the "ups and downs" , and every time that we started to think about closing and leaving, we just could not do it . We just really like Norristown . Through these ten years we met so many interesting people - and we enjoy them all. We enjoy those heated discussions on every possible subject , and those great musicians, poets, painters ... Many good friendships started right here , and many important economic, political and social issues were discussed here - at one of the small tables ... So - on this 10th anniversary, we thank you all for not only supporting our business, but feeding our brains and souls , and by doing so, keeping our hearts beating for Norristown. Joel and Aleks Eigen Jan. 2006 |

| Like many of our customers , Katherine became our friend trough the "coffee sipping habit" . We love to sit together on hot summer days in front of the store , under the umbrella and wach the busy street -- or in the back yard , where the flowers , grass and overgrown ivy removes us from the town noise. Katherine's studio is only a few doors down from us , so sometimes I have the opportunity to visit it. It is just a magic place , where different smells , colors and the light creates this kind of atmosphere , where an artist gets her inspiration . |

| Molino del Rey |
| We met Tony Arnold in the early 80's in Berlin , West Germany . When we got married three years later in Nicosia , Cyprus, we decided to go back to Berlin for our honeymoon , where our romance started . Many friends and some relatives made every day of our vacation unforgetable. Tony simply handeled us the key to his apartment where we stayed for over 30 days. This was the last time that we saw each other. A few years later Tony moved to Spain , where he bought a parcel of land with a simple old water mill building. Tony's unselfish and generous personality and his sensativity to beauty make today's Molino del Rey a fascinating place to see and experience. If you decide to visit Molino del Rey, please give Tony and Lidiya a big hug from us. |

6.18.2005 Aleks had received an e-mail from well- known Philadelphia based folk musician and critic, Peter Stone Brown. He was seeking a place for the filming of a new film based on the music and personal influence of Bob Dylan on American life. Conceived and written by a Dutch film director, Wink De Putter, the film captures the essence of Dylan, through twelve different characters who were inspired and affected by his life and music. "How Many Roads ..." commissioned by Dutch television station, it is expected to be completed by this November and to be subsequently entered in film festivals in Europe and the US. We will everyone know when and where. Visitors to the Coffee Talk included from Amsterdam, Netherlands : Wink DePutter , his brother , Jos - the film's producer, and Lithuanian - born cameraman, Vladas Naudzius. Host and performer - Peter Stone Brown was joined at the mic by Trev Gibb, who had flown in from Newcastle, England. The admirers of Stone Brown and Bob Dylan flew in from Oregon and Wisconsin, to join the local Norristonians. Once more we see and hear how Music can be the international language of peace. Coffee Talk is pleased to have participated. Joel Eigen |
