Drunken Monkey gives us the 411
After blogging about the Drunken Monkey the other day, I received an email from co-owner Larry Hardin shortly after, just giving me the skinny on what the "Monkey" may or may not be getting drunk from:
"The monkey's not getting drunk on anything. We are right next to the Baptist church. Our original plan was to have beer and wine but this locale became available and was so perfect otherwise, we had to take it... Anyway, Drunken Monkey was named after a dessert (Drunken Monkey ice cream) and the kung fu style (Drunken Monkey Kung Fu... there's a film of that title too), not for any implied imbibing.
We love the folks at Dandelion and actually Julie (one of the owner's) knows all about us and had been very helpful with advice. We love her and have the same open and mutually supportive attitude about any independent, organic and/or eco-friendly businesses. We don't compete much. They are a tea house and we are a coffeehouse. They are hands down the winning hippies. We are not worthy. Believe me, we will be sending them as much business as we can. We do want those 'spoken word, crunchy, vegan, drum circle-types' but we want them to hit Dandelion too just as much as they do now."
Thanks for the scoop Larry!
