This guy's writing is just too good, and he's no Copywriter but a brilliant Planner!

Rise and shine Jakarta!
Time for a cuppa and a chat with likeminded people... again. Likemind Coffee Mornings Jakarta is back for its 2nd edition.
When? Friday, 16th March
Where? The same place partner: Starbucks, Setiabudi One
What time? Aha, now this is the real tester: 8 am! Yeah, now no excuses! You said you had to work at 9 last time so we moved it an hour back. And since we've taken up the moral responsibility to get this city's lazy ass moving a little faster, we won't move it to the evening :)
Now it's only a question of how eager you are to meet new, interesting, likeminded people and have a chat as the mesmerising aroma of freshly brewed coffee rises from a steaming cup of hot coffee on a beautiful Friday morning... mmmm! All you need to give up is the third degree you give your alarm clock every morning for the lure of another 15 minutes of sleep. Anyways, what can we say about a civilisation that wakes up each morning to the sound of an alarm clock.
Who? Anyone who wants to have coffee and talk. Anyone who wants to have coffee and not talk. Anyone who wants to talk but not drink any coffee.
Why? Because some people want to have coffee and talk. Because some people wanna have coffee and watch other people talk. Because some people wanna talk and watch others drink coffee.
And yes, just because it's not mentioned doesn't mean you can't get your friends. You can even get your dog if you like. Who knows, one thing might lead to another and it could meet someone interesting too! But mind you, it pays for the coffee it orders (no idea if Starbucks has special dog coffee though).
And please be generous and forward this mail to as many likeminded people as you can. The more, the merrier.
And if this world is coming to an end, you're losing sleep over this or you get lost on your way to Starbucks on Friday, please feel free to call Arya at +62 811 891 897 or me at +62 81 3838 177 84.
See you on Friday!
Stop yawning

(likemind) jkt Play-by-play
And we’re off! It’s 9 a.m. and the WiFi connection over here has yet to recover from the massive flood earlier this month. Ah, how we Jakarta people blissfully found the perfect excuse for each little mishap happening within the last few weeks: FLOOD! Flood is to blame for missed deadlines, coming late for work/meetings, and everything else that doesn’t work properly in this town. Yousuf and myself are starting to wonder whether we should’ve been doing this in the evening instead, but the argument was we might end up being too easy for our own sake. If other cities can do it in the morning, so why can’t we.
9:15 Yaya joins us, but apparently he stumbled upon us by mistake since he didn’t even know we’re having this. Ha. So much for the invitations. Conversations have ranged from the flabbergasted reactions of colleagues on the idea of skipping work for this (fortunately, us Planner-types can claim this as working, so there), to welcoming a fly with a broken leg which landed on our table.
9:45 Well, we almost reach the end of the buffer (in Indonesia, with Jakarta specifically, sadly it is customary to be granted a 45 minutes to 1 hour grace period for lateness from the specified hour) yet no one else but Yaya and the fly turned up so far. Even Yaya has to leave us for a bit for another appointment. And the fly is still struggling on its back.
10:00 Yaya is back and Dacil shows up (apparently he’s very diligent on this buffer thing). By now, the discussion has been ranging from shifting this to Friday afternoon, Jakarta’s apparent lack of interest to catch up with the other cities, how planners should ideally work, definition of working itself and its difference between cities, how the world seems to come together and becomes more transparent yet Indonesians are still leaving themselves out, comparing Soeharto to Sukarno, and leukemia. Dacil insists on discussion about the flood, on which I reply: BORING!
10:30 Dacil and Yaya are posing for the pics, and there goes our effort to try acting natural ha ha. Most likely we’re gonna wrap this up soon, please do visit Yousuf’s for the summary. He’s the better writer between the two of us, hee hee. It has been a fun experience people, now we pass the baton to the next city. Thanks for the support everyone especially the likemind posse out there, our shout-outs to Piers, Jeff and Noah. Until next time!

(likemind) jkt slash Jakarta Coffee Morning
Kinda occurred to me that on this likemind scheduled date Feb 16th, 2007 at 9 a.m. local time, Jakarta's gonna be the first on Earth due to the time zones. Yet if am not mistaken, Bangkok Coffee must still be ongoing as of this moment. Which makes me wonder whether there is a difference between likemind and Coffee Mornings/Evenings, because apparently there are only few cities got listed in both (Russell has the list for Coffee Mornings).
Somehow the control freak in me believed the two lists of cities should've been merged from the start. Then again, am the type of person freaking out if my mobile is not synchronized with the notebook and the PDA. Pardon my babbling.
Anywho, today we received a slick FedEx package from the kind gentlemen halfway across the globe for tomorrow's episode. Neat stuff, courtesy of Anomaly. (No, we're not going to say what these are. You just need to drag your lazy ass to Starbucks Setiabudi One to get your hands on some.)
Hopefully the WiFi there won't fail us, should we feel the narcissistic urge to post a play-by-play. Hee hee.

likemind.jkt slash Jakarta Coffee Morning slash whatever
Like I said, am a chronic global trend slut wannabe. So here goes,
Jakarta's first Coffee Morning/likemind/whatever is scheduled for Friday, Feb 16th, at 9 a.m. (you gotta be kiddin' me!), Starbucks Setiabudi One.
Hosted by yours truly and Ucup.
No agenda.
Just tell your boss you have a morning meeting.
WTF is this? Come all, and discover the fun.
Hopefully the flood would have washed our sorrow away. Ack!
