To mark both milestones, here is a timeline of the first year of Coffee Party USA, which now has 422,740 fans on Facebook. This timeline is an expanded version of the timeline of the first six months of the Coffee Party's. It was written originally by the Detroit Coffee Party Examiner to celebrate the first year of the Coffee Party and was first published in volume 1, issue 2 of the Coffee Party Newsletter on January 28, 2011.

One of my new year's resolutions was to resume writing for Examiner.com. With this article, I have now written for all three of my assigned areas, Detroit Science News Examiner, Washtenaw County Elections Examiner, and Detroit Coffee Party Examiner, so that's one resolution fulfilled.

As for what I'll be writing next, I'm thinking of a series about Coffee Party USA's Blog Talk Radio shows for a series. I'll begin with an introductory article about the current crop of shows. Then I'll continue with the profiles of the hosts and their shows. Stay tuned.
