Coffee Lounge The Coffee Lounge is an all-night coffee bar located in Portland,
Oregon. The Coffee Lounge features live music on the weekends, an improvisational
comedy open mike on Thursday nights, poetry slams on Wednesday nights, experimental
fi lm screenings on Tuesday nights, and a book club devoted to local authors on Monday
nights. In addition, the Coffee Lounge encourages public art by allowing patrons and
local artists to use the various pens, markers, and paints scattered throughout the club to
add their mark to the walls and tables.

Coffee Lounge owner, Tommy Caddell, believes the lounge could benefi t from a Web
site. He wants to use the site as a marketing tool to promote featured events, the monthly
special, a different coffee blend featured each month, and sales. Tommy also wants to
include a page that features a different local nonprofi t organization each month. You will
assist Tommy in building the site. Tommy asks you to research the Web sites of other cof-
fee lounges and to fi nd information about basic HTML.
