Portrait of an Artista/Barista #4: Cara Francis
CARA JANE FRANCIS
When I'm grown up I wanna be like my crazy Southern grandma!
My favorite piece of FAB Cafe is firstly me. Whenever I am there, I am my favorite piece. Because I allow myself to be alive. After that, I like the grinder. Because it's loud and it shows those shiny, sumptuous espresso beans who is boss!
The reason why I can't live without coffee: Okay, this may sound strange, but for some reason whenever I drink it I feel a little bit more...alert. Is that weird? It really does make me feel kind of woken up... is that crazy?
What I will never forget while working as a barista: I fell in love with a customer. Then, a few years later, I was a customer and a barista fell in love with me.
The reason why you absolutely have to visit FAB Cafe: Someone will probably fall in love with you...
My favorite piece of art that I've created is my next one!
Tell us a project you were working on recently: I am a Neo-Futurist! We do Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind every single weekend right down the street at the Kraine Theater. Been running for almost seven years now. Ask me when I'm in it and get a ticket!
