Help us Win

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Last year Urban Grind was runner up to The 3 Monkeys for best coffee in Brisbane. This year we need your help to make sure that doesn’t happen again. It’s not that I don’t love The 3 Monkeys but I would rather we won that category. So if you do love your Urban Grind coffee please be kind enough to support us buy voting in the map village 2008/2009 Eat/Drink ‘best place’ awards.

We are actually nominated in 4 categories. Look for categories numbered 4, 7, 10 & 20. I guess we don’t have to win them all but it would be nice. Oh, and by entering you stand the chance to win something too. Click here to start voting now! Thanks heaps! Morgs.

PARK(ing) Day Brisbane 2008

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

This Friday the 19th of September is International PARK(ing) Day. And this year in Brisbane it is going to be big. You can find all of the details, including park locations on the Brisbane PARK(ing) Day Website. Last year we kicked it off in Brisbane but Yen has taken it so much further this year than I ever dreamed. Brisbane is on it’s way to being one of the biggest PARK(ing) Day cities in the world. So if you see a PARK stop and check it out – try it out. And if you get a chance tell Yen how wonderful she is by leaving a comment on her weblog. This would not have been possible without her. You rock Yen!

First Kiva loan paid back.

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Just received some great news. One of our first Kiva loans have been paid back in full. How cool is that? You can check out all of the info here. We all made this happen together. Your tips, the staffs volunteering of those tips to Kiva. Give each other a clap. Now I am off to make some more loans. Should be able to make about another 2, but don’t rush to our loans page as it can take about 3 days for the Paypal transaction to go through. So far we have made $125 worth of loans in $25 dollar amounts with one paid back. Thank you everyone. It gives me a real buzz to be able to do this kind of thing.
