It’s here! A complete video presentation of Black Coffee, the new event series from creative director Michelle Johnson (The Chocolate Barista), is now available via Sprudge Media Network on YouTube.

For the first Black Coffee event, we’re presenting a video presentation of the show, live and uncut, with all the big moments, ideas, walk-on music, and laughter presented in their full glory. Not everyone could be there, but now’s your chance to listen, learn, and relive an incredible evening at the Clinton Street Theater in SE Portland.
