Anonymous asked: Is the next event March 2nd?

Yes it is!  I’m still trying to figure out who the advice givers are going to be, but we will definitely be having Free Advice Friday on 3/2 from 12-2 at the Creative Coast office at 15 W York St!

December’s Free Advice Friday

I hope y’all had a lovely Thanksgiving and survived the Black Friday and Cyber Monday without getting maced, tazed, occupied or bankrupted. If you did get any of those things, or better yet, want some advice about solar stuff, then we’ve got a great lineup of advice givers for you this month!  This month’s lineup includes:

There you go.  We hope to see you this Friday, 12/2 from 12-2 (oooh, look at how that worked out) at the Creative Coast office at 15 W York St!!

How Free Advice Fridays Work

I was walking to lunch with a co-worker and she asked if it was “alright to just drop in for a few minutes.”  

After I recovered, I realized that this was all my fault and I need to explain the process a little more.   Here’s how it’s supposed to work (you can see this process in action for yourself tomorrow from 12-2 at the Creative Coast office at 15 W York St in lovely downtown Savannah, GA):

  1. Come in.
  2. Sit down in front of an unlicensed amateur advice-giver.
  3. Ask for some advice.
  4. Get some advice.
  5. Say “thank you”.
  6. Stand up
  7. Turn around, walk out the door.

The whole process from beginning to end should take you no more than 5-10 minutes depending on what kind of advice you need.  You could, if you’re brave, repeat steps 2-6 and switch to a different advice-giver if you need more than one piece of advice.  

We’ve tried to keep the whole advice-dispensing process as painless as possible.  There are no appointments, no forms to fill out, no painful injections.  There’s just knowledge passing between two people.

I hope to see a ton of you there!

Anonymous asked: decaf or regular?

Regular.  There’s no reason to drink decaf (which is basically regular coffee that’s been brewed over and over again to remove the caffeine - along with most of the flavor).  If you’re tempted to drink decaf, drink water instead; it’ll taste better.

September’s Advisors Are Go!

We’ve got our victims for September all signed up and ready to go, and it’s an impressive lineup.  So, get ye down to the Creative Coast office (15 W York St) on September 2nd from 12-2 and come get some free advice.  Advice on what?  Just about whatever you can think of.  We’ll come up with some kind of answer for you.

Here’s who we’ve got for September:

I hope to see you there!
