It's 11:00am and I hadn't even thought about blogging. It's been a weird day. I drank coffee at 8:30 (I normally wait until 9:00) and I think it's making this day feel longer.
Yesterday I had a meeting with Bob, the owner of Tazza Mia. Bob is getting ready to open up a wine bar/coffee lab in Cincinnati's ever-on-the-rise Over The Rhine district (OTR). It will be called 1215, which is its street number on Vine.
He approached me about working there, first as a barista, and then maybe moving in to a more managerial role down the road a bit. I explained to him how I really am pursuing this whole "band thing" and that we are planning for it to pick up shortly. I wouldn't want to be in a spot with a (manager) position where I couldn't just take a week or two off to travel or go into the studio.
This might sound crazy to some, as I am a 25 year old without a college degree, working two barista jobs and pursuing a career in music. But I am happy, and excited about the future and doing what I love most.
So as it stands now, I will start picking up a couple of shifts at 1215 and pretty quickly settle into a Monday through Friday 7-2 type position. 1215 is really freaking sweet. The coffee side of things is just pour-over coffee, and espresso drinks. Only two syrup flavors, chocolate and vanilla, and no frozen or iced drinks. Hardcore, high end coffee. My first shift is Monday morning, we'll see how it goes.
I have been on Pinterest all morning. Go check out my boards, I updated a lot of them today.
If I didn't live in Dayton, I'd say hook me up with the wine bar job.
