In the 1950s, cats like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg hung out in Greenwich Village coffeehouses, drinking espresso and reciting their poetry to live jazz.
So here was the gig: Make a video of you performing your poem about our traditional, handmade coffeehouse coffee and submit it before June 26.
The top five videos (as determined by our judges) were posted on our website, and all those chicks, jacks and long-gone daddies out there voted for their fav through July 25.
Ezekiel Gillie, Jonathan Ruth, Stephanie Taylor and Michael Goodis have won $250 Sheetz cards. Randy Hayes, our grand prize winner, has won a $5,000 Sheetz Card.
Oh, and the title, Virtuoso of Verse.
