Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden
Great to see Henry, Bryan, and Donovan out last time round — and welcome to Gardar, who joined us for the first time.
I forgot how cool of a place Cosmic is in the evenings.
This week I'm out of town, but I've reset the voting if any of you fancy escaping for sneaky beers with pals.
Cheers and beers, Kester.
Mates Monday is a low-key, biweekly excuse to get out of the house and try somewhere new. Different spot every fortnight. No agenda. No group chat drama. Just good spots and good people. Blokes are notoriously bad at this sort of thing — consider this the nudge.
