Hey bro, I am down here in Richmond now, it's been awesome. My new job is letting me host a barista jam. I want it to be a lot of fun, you got any brilliant ideas I could steal? Or just cool shit in general? How have things been?

well what i should have said is that a pod-lady is selling her offspring disguised as espresso pods and when we pull a shot the water will re-hydrate the young pod-people. so maybe you should call her.

the only problem is that the espresso machine says he is not ready to be a father.
