Poets on the Hill is having another famed open mic night tonight, at El Diable Coffee (1811 Queen Anne Ave N, Suite 101). Arrive at 6:15 to sign up for a turn in front the mic. Readings will begin at 6:30 p.m. Too much fun!

Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll even get a little devil in your drink!

This isn’t news, but it’s just so quintessential Queen Anne. And it’s Friday, so I thought I’d share a little fun. If there’s anything we can’t get enough of on the hill – or citywide, for that matter – it’s coffee shops. And although this is really a Seattle thing, I like to think we on Queen Ann have the best selection. And I don’t play favorites; I love all our Queen Anne coffee shops with the same fervor. I usually have to rotate just to keep it fair.

This morning, while at El Diablo, I was handed a soy mocha with a little devil on top (sticking his tongue out at me, I believe), and I thought to myself, now that’s worth saving.

But, alas, I drank him. Still, kudos to Queen Anne’s amazing baristas (or baristos, in this case?). Happy Friday!
