I met John this morning at Starbucks. I was surprised to see him at a table with all of his equipment playing during the hour+ I was there. I spent some time talking with him after I asked to take his picture. He spoke a polished English that was not from here. Perhaps England. Interesting fellow. He stood and introduced himself and shook hands before talking with me.
I asked about his decision to play in a coffee shop. He said he can move his equipment in with two trips to the car and the wifi was better than he had at home. I asked about the setting. He said it reminded him of spending time in internet cafes. I had flashbacks to spending time elsewhere and visiting such cafes a few times myself.
I should write something sometime about my coffee shop experiences.
