Do you drink coffee and live in the Chicago area (including suburbs)? Then read on.

As you probably know by now, I'm a busy, over-achieving student at the Illinois Institute of Art, and I currently have a 4.0. Hooray for me.

But this quarter, I'm up against my most formidable academic foe yet: a class called Package Design. Our project is to name and design the packaging for a line of coffee and coffee accessories. Our assignment for this week is to survey 5 to 10 people in the Chicago area of varying demographics about their coffee drinking behaviors.

I said to myself, 5 to 10? How helpful could that possibly be? So I told my teacher that I could have 50 survey responses. She giggled a little bit, and then she said, "Go for it."

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me flabbergast my teacher. If you drink coffee (and I'm almost positive that you do at least occassionally), take 10 minutes to fill out my little survey. I've made it easier utilizing the magic of the Interweb:

Arlo's Coffee Survey

With the exception of 2 questions, it's all multiple choice. And it's completely anonymous.

And please tell your friends and family. I really want 50 responses, and if I can get more, even better.

Thank you very much. I'm deeply in your debt.
