I read your posts last year with we launched our advertising campaign “We are a lot like you, a little different.” We are getting ready to introduce some new spots and wondering if you would like an advance look. If so, drop me a note with your e-mail and I will let you know how you can be among the first to see the new campaign. meredith@firmani.com Hi Eric:

I think you have to be from somewhere else and then move to Cascadia to fully appreciate this. Before moving here I lived in NY and Gainesville Florida. In both places coffee was black stuff that dripped into a pot. You ordered it "black no sugar" (my preference), "with milk" or "milk and sugar." No "extra hot with two and a half pumps of vanilla" (what the heck is vanilla?) or anything else. To fully appreciate this you have to stand in a line with only 5 people in front of you for 30 minutes and then order a "large drip" and then have the barista ask you what a drip is. I now order Americano and happily go on my way. I live here (Renton) and I would have to say that the Pemco ad is on target.

I think you're absolutely correct about longer gooier orders being more frequent the further you are from a regional coffee epicenter. One more thing that you may find amusing. As part of the Pemco ad, people were asked to submit THEIR super long coffee orders. You can see their responses at this link: http://www.tullys.com/promo/pemco.aspx. What I am surprised by is that no one ordered a drink using the term "carbon-neutral" or with full recycle-ability in the cup and lid. Eric Hey thanks for your response.

The ad might be slightly exaggerated, as most humorous stereotyping is, but I know the type they are talking about. That being said - I am unfamiliar with the existence or non-existence of aforementioned SLCO's in the Cascadia region of the United States. I'm not sure if their natural habitat extends that far up. It would seem natural that their density increases as the general public's knowledge of coffee decreases.
