Miscellany: Millionaire's Club

Kay's Coffee closed this summer and became Momoyaki, a Japanese-Asian fusion restaurant. Losing my favorite coffee house was a bitter blow; I had written entire term papers in Kay's, after all. My search for alternate coffee houses yielded Coffee Culture, which is a good joint. Unfortunately, it's also relatively far away and inconvenient.

Strangely enough, though, the local Books-A-Million bookstore has a "Joe Muggs" coffee-serving area inside their store. With a "Millionaire's Club" card, you can get free wireless Internet there, and you can order up some fairly strong coffee at a 10% discount. Their store is also open fairly late - until 11PM on most nights.

Doing schoolwork is okay there, I guess, but where Books-A-Million really shines is late night D&D prep. If you need to reference something, all the 4th Edition D&D books are a stroll away, and in my local store, at least, they don't mind if you bring them right to your table to flip through. It's massively convenient to be able to access stuff like "The Adevnturer's Vault" without having to pay for the books.
