Marlon and Coffee…
Cortado and Art.

“You’re a ghost driving a meat-covered skeleton, made from stardust, riding a rock, hurling through space. Fear Nothing.” (Anon)… Carl Sagan inspired.
Simple days intrigue me of late… I search for meaning… I search for music… I search for art…I search for coffee shops. It is a secret passion.
Many of my photos are from these quests. Most are from coffee shops. As I ponder changing careers — the coffee, vintage book thing, maybe in the near future. I have always owned antique stores, co-ops …funky jaunts and I think I would like another. Just for the fuck of it- because I can.
This time exotic coffee, tons of books, music, art, photography, and sculpture. I have contacts for some photographers, artists, and bakers — a solid base is important. I visit new places in the metro area often, but this one needs an edge. Maybe with a brick wall and a huge movie screen playing Casablanca or Old Movies …silently… while cool music hums in the background. This time it will not be huge and complicated like the co-ops of the past, but maybe industrial? yet tasteful. I am in the design mode of thinking about it.
There are way too many with the same vibe. Same old antique stuff ahh…we have all been there done that. I am different and need it to be quite different. I thought of an old church or even a huge garage with wide doors where people sit outside. A barn? loft? A place where you want to come in for the experience. A place to smile and laugh and grow a bit. And plants, lots of life.
Elemental to who I am is theantiqueloft.com- but now I want to change it up a bit. Gotta get to manifesting on that I guess. (I am great at manifesting by the way, but that is for another article.)
Coffee has a way of bringing people together. So does music, art, books…open mics…if I put them all together it might be a fun new chapter. The name thing is a whole adventure in and of itself. Hippie Cafe is taken — I looked…and so is Dead People’s Stuff believe it or not. Hmm…Lots to ponder…
Life has had its valleys and hills. I travel in my jeep getting new ideas, meeting new people, and now manifesting a new space. Maybe even a new pup. It is time I think. Yes, it is time.
If you choose to you may — Buy me a coffee?
