Graphic Club

I’ve been wanting to visit the Gaphiclub cafe/bookstore in Sweifieh but never had the time. Incidentally I think it’s fabulous that Amman has a graphic design ‘themed’ place like that. BTW: Does anyone have a URL for this place??

Yesterday I was inspecting one of our retail design projects in Sweifieh and I happend to pass by the Graphiclub. I found the place closed in preparation for a graphic art show entitled: Bulgarian Surrealism: The New Alphabet in the the EU, supposedly to open March 4 (yesterday was march 6 and the place was still closed).

As I took some photographs a young man approached and asked me: can I help you with something? (I don’t know if it was meant as ‘can I help you’ or ‘why the heck are you taking a photo?’ :-)

So I just said I wanted to visit the place and found it closed.. When will they open?

“In a couple of days..”

Cool.

    We had our first JB meeting there … this was last month!

    They have some nice books on display (I ended up buying 3 books on my way out but that’s just so typical of me :P ), good coffee, yummy desserts and delicious ceasar salad :)

    They should lower the volume a little bit though … the music was really loud that we could not hear each other

    Same thing happened to me today… and the coincidence was that, I headed to Chez Hilda after that, and found that it is also closed for redecoration!!
