Chris Donnelly Ann Arbor Local Hero and RoosRoast - Thursday, February 11th
I'm about to blog about a great friend and coffee customer, my hair stylist, Chris Donnelly.
Portland Looking Up by Chris Donnelly from Todd Templeman on Vimeo.
He actually came up with the name RoosRoast on a bike ride down Huron River Drive while singing our favorite song (which we made up) called "Huron River Rider"
an ode to all the men with silver beards an $10, 000.00 bikes.
Chris has been known and loved here in Ann Arbor from back in the day when he was known as Batman as on WCBN . He's still working the angles all the while drinking RoosRoast.
If Chris cuts your hair you already know that he is offically moving back to Berkley, supposedly for good, and not going to be returning to Orbit Hair on State street every 5 weeks to give you a hair cut. (Who want's to cut my hair now?)
If your reading this blog (your one of 5 people thanks) and you are lucky enough to live in Berkeley Califorina then you can hook up with Chris at Panache on College and get a hair cut from the Man!
Chris is such are great hair person because he is a sculptor and painter.
Carol Banker and I call him "Carvey" because he carves people out of wood.
I wanted to share this Video of an art show he had in Portland Oregon in August of 2009 at Nemo Studios. The Show is called "Portland looking up."
See you at the Farmers Market Saturday if you want to meet Chris he'll be at the RoosRoast booth from 8:00 AM tp 8:30 to give you a hair consultation.
And don't forget were pulling crazy shots from the La Marzocco G B 5 All day long on Rooswood.

"Huron River Rider" Chris will be singing our classic underground hit while riding a stationary bike between 8-8:30 tomorrow morning. You can\'t really sing it unless your short of breath or slightly exhausted. "Silver beard $10,000 bike your riding high on your reward points."

From another one of the five people reading your blog: Chris was a classmate of one of my sons (forget which son)--great to read about \"Batman\" and what he is doing these days. He is (and always was) one talented, unique individual. Thanks for the update!
