Calling all Sydney caffeine addicts – your time is now. Sunday April 25th 2010 sees the Rocks transformed into a mecca for Sydney coffee lovers with the return of the annual Aroma Coffee Festival.

According to official sources, this year plans to be even bigger and better than last year with more vendors, more entertainment, more cupcakes and more camel rides.

Personally i’m still of the opinion that putting massive four legged beasts in what is a crowded, noisy and unfamiliar environment is a recipe for disaster, but the kids seem to enjoy it.

Divided up into The Oasis, The Continent, The Orient and The Latin Quarter, with appropriately themed food, beverages and entertainment filling each. Last year saw a reported 114,000 tweakers descend upon the Rocks to take advantage of $2 cups of coffee. As you would imagine, the promise of cut price caffeine means that the crowd tends to quickly build to epic proportions so i’d suggest an early start if you’re not a fan of queues resembling those normally associated with the line for beers at the Big Day Out.

As per usual, Electric Firefly will be hawking our wares up on George Street and as a demonstration of our love for one of the few remaining mood altering drugs not yet banned by our government, we’ll knock $10 off any large lamp purchased on the day if you mention this post.
