November 22nd, 2011.  It’s strange when your year is flying by yet hardly moving all at the same time.  Know the feeling?

We are now within 2 and a half weeks until we begin what I will call the second stage in making EVOKE’s mobile coffee options an “every day from our own shop” option. What many people do not realize is that this has been on our plates, publicly, since the beginning of 2005.  6 years ago we began dreaming of EVOKE and what it would look like, taste like and feel like.  2 and a half weeks and we will begin to see it all come to life!

Well, things are moving forward step by step with the all new EVOKE coming to Downtown Edmond, OK.  We have been working tirelessly on the stuff that is probably the most exciting for you: the menu, offerings, design and other “candy” type stuff.  We aren’t quite ready to release that part of it yet but we think we will be soon.

Meetings have also been happening with our designers - FoundryCollective  - and our new look is on it’s way! By the way, have you checked out Foundry’s new site and work?  So, we are going to be doing some cool things between now and opening so here is what to expect:

1. New eNews Letter - we are going to get things rolling on a new newsletter (“new newsletter” - that’s kinda hard to say / write) program.  You probably want to get on that as soon as we release it so that you don’t miss a certain “invitation” to be a part of the first ever party at EVOKE!  Keep reading for when that sign up is available for you.
2. Teaser Video - we are teaming up with our great friend Matt Lowery over at Lowery Media for a cool intro project.  It’ll be fun!
3. New Brand Release - soon, very soon!
4. Progress Photos - we’ll show you around via images as we make a huge mess and begin cleaning it all up!
5. Vision Posts - we are going to start sharing posts here on the blog about what to expect at EVOKE and to talk about some of the finer details.  These will come here and there so keep checking back.

That is about it for the time being.  We again are super excited to have the opportunity to be your daily stop for coffee on your way to work or when you are out with friends.  Don’t forget, EVOKE Catering is still here to take care of all your mobile coffee needs!

Have a great Thanksgiving and we will talk with you soon.
