They say good things come in small packages. They also say all good things must come to an end. So it is fitting that after one and a half years Melbourne must say goodbye Switchboard’s Kate and Jade, as they leave their coffee cavern in the hands of a new owner.
After 13,140 hours or 788,400 minutes stuck in the caffeine and toastie rich space, Kate and Jade shall emerge next week. Not to a Beaconsfield-esque hurrah, or to a six-figure television deal, but to the quiet applause of city denizens/workers/passers-by who will have to continue their cupcake/caffeine addiction sans the KJ conversation.
Proving that small is the new big, the ladies have attracted their share of local celebrity fans over the past year, including Livinia Nixon and John So, the team from Postcards, Dr Peter Larkins from The Footy Show and a rumoured Daddo - we’re just not sure which one. This Wednesday lunch they host a group you actually might want to meet, with an acoustic performance by The Lucksmiths. Drop by and pay your respects.
