Applecow and Dachsie go to Spinelli

It all started when Otterman sent a mass mail informing all and sundry that he has been evicted from his cubby hole in the museum and will probably spend the next couple of months setting up a make-shift office at the Science canteen.

I sent him an email telling him that parking his butt at the Spinelli outlet at the spanking new University Hall might be a nicer thing to do. He replied that he hasn't checked it out yet, and was too lazy to. So here I am, blogging about it.

I didn't want to appear sua-koo, taking pictures like some country bumpkin, so applecow unknowingly became my partner in crime. I had asked her along to diffuse the embarassment of going by myself and taking loads of pictures. Mingko couldn't make it.. saved by having to set up the stage for BEJC at 4pm. Narrow escape for her!

So for the benefit for Otterman and whoever else, here it is..


The new counter staff.

Nice cushy interior without the madcap bustle of downtown outlets...you gotta love the high ceiling too.





The opening special.... $2 for a latte!



Applecow cunningly distracts the counter staff while I lurk around, taking pictures.



Must...resist.... temptation...



Poseur shot...at this point in time.. applecow must have been kicking herself for agreeing to come along. At one point she actually said "I shouldn't have brought you here the other day in the first place!" But I later found out that both of us are actually a source of continual embarassment to our friends, so I guess we're ok together. lol



It ends, and we're giving it two thumbs up for the cheapo (limited period only!) latte and super cool ambience. The caffeine didn't help me much.. I still dozed off (for just a little while - I swear!) at the BEJC meeting.
