Be My Valentine

2013-02-14




Your Mission: Go to one of the following coffee shops, pick up five valentine cards, and give them to five complete strangers.

Participating coffee shops: Drip Coffee on Main Street and in 5-Points, Immaculate Consumption on Main Street, Cool Beans and College Grounds on College Street, Cafe Strudel on State Street, Goatfeathers in 5-Points, Starbucks in the Vista, Carolina Cafe on Sumter Street.

Free valentines, once again, have infiltrated Columbia, and it's your job to spread the love. The images on these little gems were donated doodles from your local community. Valentines day doesn't have to be about the lucky coupled few and/or chocolate and rose responsibilities. Make the day a little brighter.

Did you know that the first Playing After Dark event showcased the talents of eight local artists and had 65 audience members?  Great things start small.
