NEWTIMES WRITE UP 02/14/08 - GO GET A COPY!!
Adam Mitchell of North Lauderdale and Ryan Jotkoff of Hollywood, compete at Underground Cafehaus in Ft. Lauderdale. Those are bras on their heads.
NEWTIMES 02/14/08 Ashley Harrell
On a recent Sunday night, a white cotton bra soars over the marble countertop of Undergrounds Coffeehaus in Fort Lauderdale. It passes a giant painting of Pinocchio, who appears to have crushed Jiminy Cricket and started shooting heroin, then loses momentum somewhere between a shelf of yard-sale books and a decorative antique refrigerator door and touches down on its intended target — the dark-haired noggin of Lucila Hernandez.
Though she's concentrating hard, trying not to miss a single note of "Free Bird," she gives a fast smile and lets the undergarment stay put.
The tosser of the bra, Undergrounds owner Aileen Liptak, purchased it and two pairs of Hanes Her Way underwear earlier today for the amateur Guitar Hero competition. She also wears her blue Atari T-shirt and a painted blue star on her cheek for the third Undergrounds Guitar Hero competition. But the underwear-throwing, to give the performance a touch of glam, is a first.
Though Liptak put out the MySpace.com announcement a little late this week, the turnout tonight is pretty good. About a dozen people, who range in age from 17 to 35, have shown up. Many are tattooed and pierced and either making or hoping to make a living in music or art or something else that's equally tough to make a living at. This is pretty much how they roll at Undergrounds, an indie coffee shop that opened a little over a year ago and looks — with its blood-orange walls and baroque hipster décor — directly transplanted from Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Don't call Yvonne Nelson of Miami and Lucila Hernandez of Ft. Lauderdale groupies. One auspicious day at Undergrounds Coffeehaus, they proved their "rock" prowess.
As usual, topics of discussion jump from the South Park episode to new songs that can be downloaded to ways the controller can be taken apart and customized. A few guys bring up how annoyed their girlfriends are getting about their passion for Guitar Hero. Hernandez scoffs. She defies the misguided stereotype that girls aren't into the game. Tapping her fingernails on the buttons, she rarely misses notes on medium level and achieves star power at all the right times. Some might even say she's chicken for not attempting the hard level.
Did Brett Combs just say that? No way. He's the genial, ponytailed co-owner of the shop and Liptak's boyfriend, and he's a guitar player, piano player, and singer who's been in plenty of bands. At the moment, he's folded into a captain's chair and discussing why Guitar Hero beats Dance Dance Revolution, an earlier videogame that requires a player to dance. "Guitar Hero is less embarrassing," he says. "People are much more self-conscious about dancing."
"And people like to rock," Liptak adds from across the shop.
"People do like to rock," Combs agrees. "The rocking out catches you by surprise. Suddenly, you're like, yeah, I'm Neil Young."
A couple of guys from the Java D'Lites competition, Joe Benak of Coconut Creek and John Linn (full disclosure: He's New Times' assistant calendar editor) have also come to rock. Though the talent isn't quite as cranked at Undergrounds, there's a palpable camaraderie. People cheer for one another. Everyone is showered in underwear and bras. In the end, everyone gets Blow Pops and prizes. There are few problems with boozed-up egos here, since Undergrounds has no liquor license.

Zombie PJ Party at UndergroundsDon't Be a Zombie: Drink CoffeeBy Jamie Laughlin
Life as a reanimated corpse has its ups and downs. On the positive side, you never have to worry about rent, complicated cell phone plans, or mailing out holiday cards. In the negative column you have a complete lack of free will, sleeping on a pile of your brethren, like rock musicians on tour, and hustling to appease your taste-lust for brains. It’s all terribly complicated.
One thing that is simple to understand is that zombie flicks are better appreciated when viewed in pajamas with friends. Add a large assortment of snacks and a bitchin’ coffee bar, and you’ve got the perfect Saturday night. Aileen Liptak understands this, and that’s why she’s summoning the undead and their groupies to a Zombie Pajama Party at Undergrounds Coffeehaus (2743 E. Oakland Park Blvd., Fort Lauderdale) tonight. Yes! You and your fellow B-film buffs are invited to camp out at the coffee shop in your cutest, fuzziest pajamas and gorge on a zombie marathon: Night of the Living Dead (8:30 p.m.), Dawn of the Dead (10:30 p.m.), and Day of the Dead (12:30 p.m.). (Only original versions will be shown.) There’s also a Draw the Best Scary Zombie contest, so you and your pals can flex your prowess with crayons and paper. There’s no cover, so support Undergrounds by purchasing loads of snacks and coffee while you’re there, and don’t forget your furry slippers. Call 954-630-1900, or visit www.myspace.com/undergroundscoffeehaus.

Hello, dear ma'am! I might show my little pretty face tomorrow around your awesome Coffeehaus at night with some friends, so I really hope that tomorrow helps a bit and that they love it so that we can go there and meet whenever we want to drink some awesome coffee.
Hello Aileen. I am ordering you to bed. That's right! If anyone wants to know why you are not there, blame it on me. Tell them I told you that you had to go to sleep. He he.
I am working on the ad for you. Coming out pretty rad actually.
Aileen! Let me know if you're gonna be there this Friday cuz I might drop by with my boyfriend and his mom to see if we can talk to you about some space in the gallery and hopefully that time will be accompanied by a great Big Cup of White Russian. Thanks! =D
Hello. I am going to come in and bring my son with me. I haven't had a chance to stop by since my show. Things have been chaotic to say the least. Why can't things be more simple. Geesh! Anyways, trying to find some things to do with my son and I am thinking I could bring him in an he could play on his laptop while I chat it up. I also have to bring in the CD with the larger digital pieces because of request.
Thanks for giving me a platform to showcase my work. It is nice to have people like you who offer this with very little hassle. You rock! I hope tons of people show up. I know a few will for sure. Love, Ginger
