I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: April 20, 2024] Cave In

I wasn’t aware that there was a coffee shop in Flemington, NJ.  But it doesn’t surprise me.  My wife sent me a link to an article about the new coffee shop that was being opened.  Well, it turns out that I’ve seen the new owner live.

Benjamin Weinman, founder, guitarist and songwriter of metalcore band Dillinger Escape Plan (who also plays with thrash band Suicidal Tendencies), and his fiancée Valentina Killough are opening Alkemy Coffee Co. at the former home of Factory Fuel Co. in Stangl Factory.

Amazing!

And for their grand opening, they were bringing Boston band Cave-In to play an acoustic show.  I’ve considered seeing Cave In a number of times but never got to do so.  This seemed like a great opportunity.

Then I had to drive to Newark for an event that kept me away for most of the day and by the time I got home, I really didn’t feel like dealing with going out.

So I decided not to go.  I’m a little bummed, but I have high hopes that there will be more events and that Alkemy will bring all kinds of cool stuff to Flemington.
