Caffe Paradiso, occasionally a venue and always the hippest place to grab a cuppa joe this side of Starbucks, is looking for "low-key" musicians to perform for the lunch crowds on Saturday afternoons. This addition should complement the atmosphere of the cafe, so the management asks that interested parties "think Jose Gonzalez, not Slayer." Personally, I don't mind a little thrash metal (or Braid, pictured in Paradiso at right) with my Intelligentsia beans, but to each his own.
Possible lunchtime crooners can drop off a CD or tape at the cafe, 801 S Lincoln Ave. in Urbana.

Sleepy downtown Urbana is a diamond in the rough around these parts. The fact that you can always get a table at Crane Alley or squeeze into the Iron Post for a jazz show may be troubling to the owners of the joints at times, but to consumers, it leaves a lasting impression; these are places where everybody might literally know your name if you give them your time (and money).
