Love the postcard There is so much going on in it, really captures the spirit and story of a coffee house!
Wow. Double whammy, here. The postcard's a gem and I just discovered Ken Nordine. yep, yep, yep, that's how it plays isn't it? (now, add the inner voice of the guy commenting at the end of the clip + the inner voices of the folks in the postcard and..."Broadcast Live from the Tower of Babel"!)
Me? strange? no more than the next person, I bet.
cheers
Cafe Trieste was a nice, low key place; cool people didn't destroy it like they do everything else they discover.
i am going to guess we won't get the same atmosphere at starbucks. maybe that's why america has been catatonic for so long :)
Damn,how times have changed.
Anyone drawing up plans for a Revolution now will probably be sitting in a Meth Lab.
Nice neon sculpture. I had not heard of Ken Nordine before. I had at first thought it was the voice of one of the Star Trek people, Leonard Nimoy or Wm. Shatner . . .
Tis A Fact That Coffee & Rebels Go Hand-in-Hand.Long May It Be So.
I really like the fog photo. The fog just blew in off the coast this morning. We watched it creep up the streets, over houses, under bridges.
