While we don't have a sound recording of what happened, we do have some cool pictures.

Here's a list of links to each of the photos taken last night:

After having been open for nine months now, The Spot Café has truly come a long way. We have had a number of very exciting events, such as art shows, cultural sharing events, and special guest musician, and we are constantly being discovered by more and more customers who tell us how much they love our unique and rich atmosphere. However, being brand new in Tianjin, our first 6 months in business were not as lucrative as we would have desired, and as we approach our rent payment date of March 12, we are finding that our financial situation is slightly less than desirable. Despite this discouraging fact, WE REFUSE TO JUST PACK UP AND GO HOME. We will hold on and continue to provide Tianjin with a unique and enriching coffee house experience.


From now until May 12th, we will be holding the “Keep The Spot Café Alive” event, including a number of events that will be announced very soon. Do you Love The Spot Café too? Help us keep going! Invite your friends to come and enjoy our great coffee, tea, and atmosphere! You can also help us by purchasing our very own in-house roasted coffee grounds available during this special period. 1/2 Pound bags are 150 Yuan, and 1pound bags are 200 Yuan. All proceeds will go to Keeping The Spot Café Alive!

on another note, I would like to appologize greatly to everyone interested in The Spot Cafe's news and progress for not having updated our blog in such a long time.

We've had increasingly good business, and have gotten a huge amount of good feed-back from our customers. While business is going well, we still need to increase our business a bit in order to start making some good profits, so we're working hard to work with a few local groups and organizations to develop regular events and other partnership deals to increase customer patronage and the reach of our promotional efforts. The truth is that the more people know about us, and the more people experience the atmosphere of The Spot Cafe, the more regular customers we will be able to attract, because really, we're the best coffee house / cafe in Tianjin!

Tianjinexpats.com has chosen to make us their regular weekly location for their coffee house meeting, and this past Saturday evening we hosted a large group of English students for their regular English corner event. There was also a local English teaching company who had a pre-Halloween event on Sunday, and will be back again this weekend for another event! I'm also very excited that TianjinDirectory.net will be holding a number of Tianjin Directory meetings at The Spot Cafe. This year is truly looking to be highly promising in terms of networking and mutually benefitial relationships with a number of local organizations.

 We're finally starting to sell food items as well. This week and last week have been our trial period, and based on the success of this, we will make a decision about what kinds of foods we need to sell and how much we should prepare each day.

All in all, things are going very well. The next big thing is to plan our special feature nights, such as nights when we have live musicians, dancing, poetry reading, or open mike nights. That will be right around the corner!

We've been officially open to the public for over a month now, and boy have I been busy! Our opening day was Saturday, July 16th, and since that date we have had very good business for the first month of operation. The first few weeks consisted of a lot of correction and refinement in terms of our processes, as well as making efforts to increase our product choices. We now have a number of pastries, pies, and cookies, in addition to our coffees, teas, and other beverages. I'm very pleased with our development so far.

 Last night was a first for The Spot Cafe - an Art Exhibition featuring works by Telly Kongolo!It was a really great night - tons and tons of people showed up to enjoy the evening. We were packed nearly beyond capacity, but somehow managed to make it through. Anyway, it was a really great night.

This next month should also prove to be very productive. We will be working on adding more food items to our menu, and will also be trying to develop some regular events to spice things up a little.

I got four very beautiful paintings from Telly Kongolo today, and this afternoon, I went to buy a very cool small drill to drill holes in the wall and hang his stuff. I was just drilling the first hole through the concrete when suddenly the drill starting going through the wall like it was butter, and then before I realized it, water was spurting out of the hole that I had just made - I had hit a water pipe!!

 Anyway, it took about an hour for the repair man to fix it up, but after a little while, it was fixed, and things were back to normal - and I even got all four of Telly's paintings hung before I left tonight! That should teach me to make sure I have a very detailed map of water pipe and electric wire locations before I go drilling into walls again!

This week we started our pre-opening exclusive one-month free visits project, and it's really been very exciting. We now have a total of 91 members officially registered, and the rest of the spots are already reserved by other friends who just haven't had the time to come by yet. We've had a very good amount of improvement over these last five days as far as product goes, and we're slowly perfecting everything about the coffee house. Everyone seems to be pleased overall with the coffee house, and the advice and suggestions being offered are all very helpful. In the coming weeks we'll be adding a lot of great things, such as paintings from local artists, more drinks and food, and possibly a book case and some other things as finances allow.

Below are some pictures for everyone to check out：

We started painting on Thursday, and all of our other renovation was finally completed on Sunday. The major part of our painting was finished this Monday, and all of our furniture was also moved in on the same day. This week we'll be completing some of the final steps of preparation, and we will plan to begin our one month "Friends of the Coffee House" period next week, during which 100 exclusive guests will be able to visit our coffee house for free before our official opening. 

 Here are a few pictures of the coffee house now:
