Starbucks Senior Street Team Meet & Greet

On Saturday, we met some of our 2010 Senior Street Team members. They are current high school juniors who are going to be photographed this month and their images are going to be used in our marketing campaign. I was excited about this process before, but after meeting these guys and girls, I can't wait to get started and see some of the awesome images that we're going to produce!

We had a fantastic turn out. In Pittsburg, there were so many of us, that we had to move outside. I joked about the sun not liking me, so I put on my coat and put as much of my body as possible in the shade. It ended up not mattering, because my chest got sunburned anyway. Go figure!

The Joplin meeting was more intimate and we got to know our kids and their parents really well.

So, once everyone got there, we introduced ourselves and shared a random fact. Mine was that I have 3 kidneys. Hmm...wonder how much I could get for one on the black market? :) We found out a lot about our Street Team members. In addition to having an extra organ, we can lick our elbow, bench 280 pounds, and fold our tongues into the shape of a clover! Obviously, we are an interesting group!

We all enjoyed Starbucks coffee and Frappachinos. The strawberries & cream Frappachinos are amazing, by the way! While geting our caffeine and sugar fixes, we talked more about the Street Team program and we answered any questions the members or their parents had. And...they had lots of great questions!

Oh, did I mention that we gave away prizes?! :) Yeah, it was a good day all around!

Now, here are a few snapshots, some courtesy of Matt.

Enjoying our drinks...(sorry you were covered up, Natalie. I promise we love you!)



In Joplin, I was in the mood for some caffeine!

The banana chocolate chip coffee cake is the best!

Introducing Hayley's Joke of the Week

Meet Matt's daughter, Hayley!



She's eight years old and is in the second grade. Hayley loves playing her Nintendo DS, watching movies, Texas football, and telling jokes.

Her latest joke cracked us up. I thought to myself that I need to write her jokes down because they are really funny and cute. That's when the blog light bulb went off in my head. After getting Hayley's permission, we decided to share her 8 year old insights with our readers each week.

George Carlin, here she comes!

Week 1:

What do you call cheese that is not yours?
















Nacho Cheese!


:) We hope you enjoyed Hayley's debut!

Until next week....
