Graffiti abounds in the Java Break bathroom

“Where We Pee” is a weekly excursion into a local music venue’s excretory facilities, with a premium on the witticisms scrawled onto the walls.

Lawrence’s Java Break is familiar to many who’ve needed a late-night pick-me-up before heading home after a concert at Liberty Hall or the Bottleneck. Best known as the only 24-hour coffee shop in Lawrence, it’s a haven for studying students from the University of Kansas, as well as a place where drunk concert-goers and transients alike can slump in a booth and get a little rest before heading wherever they’re on to later in the evening.

Of special interest to those killing time while they wait to sober up is the “Graffiti Room,” wherein you can scribble on damn near anything you please. A warning for those planning on stopping in post-concert, however: should you venture into the bathroom while on anything stronger than a couple of beers, you will experience an intense barrage of visual stimuli. It is likely to cause a bit of stomach upset. Please clean up after yourself.
