If you’re a Starbucks card collector, be on the look out for a new Starbucks braille card.
This is the third time Starbucks has offered a braille card. The first one was 2011. All of them have the word “Starbucks” punched into them in braille.
If you are a collector of Starbucks collectibles (such as cards), there is a “Coffee Con” convention designed for you! This convention is the 10th and 11th of October. I will be there in the “Trade and Sale” room with copies of Tales of the Siren for sale. And more importantly, I’d be happy to meet you! (The “Trade and Sale” room has a two-hour window that it’s open on Saturday the 11th, I think. But ask the organizer for more information). This is going to be a lot of fun!
I’m not the organizer of Coffee Con! If you have questions about it, contact Sue Fox. You can reach her by email at StarbucksEditor@yahoo.com. There’s a pre-convention tour that includes fun things like the Coffee Gear Store and much more.
Hope to see you there!

I saw this today at Starbucks !
When I was in 5th grade, we had to do a special project. I don’t remember the specifics (it was a loooooong time ago), I studied braille through the library. I was so interested that I ended up meeting with the special education teacher who knew braille. I must have been doing very well, or shown a lot of interest, because I was allowed to take time away from class to continue learning braille. I ended up being able to touch read and type on a braille typewriter. I never did anything with it after that grade, but things like this brings up that fond memory from time to time. I hope I end up with this card.

Thanks for the heads up Melody! I’ve just bought mine in eBay.
just picked one up yesterday….at a kiosk mall (corp) Sbux.
@Melody: like the format, plus it (once again) keeps my info (using Firefox) so I don’t have to do all that signing in stuff. Having to put in all the info was actually inhibiting sometimes when I might have posted. This is back to easy!
Not yet at my local SB will look out for it. BTW is this Coffee Con just an LA event? Or going national?
