ART AND EVENTS!!!

As you can see we have a lot going on right now at the Motley and a great line-up of music and events are set for the semester (still open spaces so if you have any don't hesitate to contact Betty Cole for music or Elizabeth Lopez for art shows and other events) Check out the month of october on the Motley Website.

Coming soon to the Motley...our current line up includes some pretty big names! Shakeh (her myspace page) is coming next week on Sunday, October 26th as well as my personal favorite Belaire (Their Website), hosted by the Motley and KSPC coming Wednesday, November 12th on their westcoast tour- it's so exciting.

SO COME TO THE MOTLEY!!!!!!!

Coffee and Pastries and Merch...OH MY!

A lot has been going on with products... some running out of stuff, but we got it and now its mostly just pure amazingness!!! We have this great new coffee from Coffee Klatch called Café Feminino. It is so delicious! I personally can usually only take coffee with lots of sugar and milk (think of a mocha with vanilla syrup and you're getting to my realm), but this coffee was a hit with me as well as the hardcore coffee drinkers. Even better, the coffee is from a collective of more than 725 women farmers in Peru who, with hope for better lives, have come together to grow, harvest, and sell organic, fair-trade-certified coffee and with each cup of fair-trade deliciousness we can contribute to their cause!

Some sad news on the pastry front. We have temporarily stopped selling our mini "Challah for Hunger" challahs, but luckily we're getting some new delicious pastries from local student bakers over at Pitzer - this includes cinnamon rolls and lemon butterfly cupcakes...mmmmagic! Also we still contine to sell our VEGAN COOKIE deliciousness, which come in both oatmeal chocolate chip and chocolate chip peanut butter. How can we forget our gluten-free pumpkin bread, which continues to sell like hot cakes (or hot bread...haha) - so come in quick to get yours!- as well as our distinctive truffle selection ranging from such delicacies as Market Spice to more unusual truffles such as Peanut butter and Jelly and the Taylor~ Just come in and try out some of our great student baker pastries.

Speaking of treats, we recently got in GLUTEN-FREE COOKIES, packaged and delicious these babies are ready to travel!


More merchandise should be coming to the Motley soon. We got back in Cornmugs and Waterbottles and supposed to come in this week, but we were thinking of maybe adding some sweatshirts with a new logo...if you have any ideas don't hesitate to post or e-mail me (Shayna Friedman) -- Just remember it's all for you!

Welcome to the Motley Blog

Hey Friends! This is the first Motley blog entry. We thought we would start a blog to keep all friends of the Motley updated on things such as student bakers and when their products are available, events at the Motley and just general updates.

Since it's the first entry, let me just get everyone up to speed. In case, you missed it, our open went off in style. Our theme, the Wizard of Mot was a huge hit as we played music, screened a the Wizard of Oz in the background, and had a great DJ come in!


So this year we have a new manager position, sustainability and networking manager (Laura Shay currently occupies the position). This position is great because she coordinates with student bakers, activist organizations on campus, as well as with the Pomona farm and maintenance to compost our coffee, food, and cups! Also I am working on fixing up the website to make it more user-friendly and we can try eliminating that paper stuff (think of all the trees...).
