Portland has been named the nation’s most depressing city in the country and Oregon’s unemployment rate has hit 9.9%. But if I lived in SF I could work at Caffeinated Comics, a new comic book store featuring a La Marzocco espresso machine, Four Barrel Coffee, and free wi-fi. It’s hard to imagine a job for which I’m better qualified.

It’s hard to imagine a job for which qualifications are less meaningful.
And mind you, I like coffee, comics, and good web surfin’.
If Jeanette’s okay with it, I’m okay with it.
If you do, be sure to wear flowers in your hair.
Jacob,
Hey thanks for th e plug. But you do know you have Guapo Comics in Portland that is also a very cool coffee shop comic book store. Don’t forget about them!
David
Thanks for the tip! I am new in Portland and didn’t know about them. Sounds like you have a very cool shop in the Mission. Next time I’m in SF I’ll be sure to drop in.
