i've thought of your journal that way before, too.

[bookshop]

that makes me glowy. I guess LJ itself is kind of like a big fandom cafe, in a way, but it's great that people to feel comfortable and welcome enough to just sort of drop by and hang out. ♥

[cimness]

do you read all the comments when people are talking to each other, and not you? seems like it must take a while.

[bookshop]

Well, I try! It's easier to skim when you get comments emailed to you, I think. :))

Cool pictures, and whee!

*oooh.*

how sad is it that i'm seriously thinking of ways to replicate this cafe online somehow? I WANT TO LIVE THERE. WAH.

*moves in with you*

My drink is actually good coffee, straight up, but espresso is close.

And I'd so be there.

[bookshop]

me too. i want to, like, build a fandom co-op and live there.

This post has taught us all that if we, collectively as a fandom, were to create our own cafe, it would be the weirdest cafe in the history of existance.

[bookshop]

truly. and wouldn't it be fabulous? :D

[portkey]

Indeed! It rather would. I'd be a regular.

The irony of this is, I'm planning to open a coffee shop called Aja's Coffeeshop. I'll be sure to use some of these tips...

It will be weird. Very, very weird.
