This is a coffee meetup for creative people to share/talk about their current projects. Whether it's writing, a website, art, starting a business, knitting/crafts or anything at all creative (be creative with the descriptor 'creative'), come along and share your progress with other like-minded people. This cafe requires a credit card for booking so I'm just going to show up and grab a table. I'll be waiting out the front of Caffe Greco at 1pm.

I have the groupon - $25 each. 3 of us already confirmed / paid. 1 left to go. \*\* Sorry no refunds if you have to cancel as I will have bought the groupon by then. You would need to arrange for someone else to take your place. As always, afterwards there's the option of food/drink and chat. ...
