I have a theory that Starbucks coffee is your ultimate “comfort coffee” because it will taste pretty much the same, no matter where you go. My theory is about to be put to the test. On Saturday, at the Madison Park Starbucks, members of our female basketball team Seattle Storm will be working as baristas and more: not only are they serving up your tasty green tea fraps, they’ll be signing autographs and posing for photos. They shoot! They score! They make coffee!

But enough about them. What about the coffee? Can it possibly taste the same with all the hoopla? If in doubt, come between 5 and 6PM when the drinks will be free (although your charitable donation to the Lifelong AIDS Alliance is appreciated).
