Today I took a different route to a gathering I helped create 7 years ago. @coffee_outside started as a simple way to connect with people who we saw on the street and who chatted on @Twitter, but over time has grown into a community of open hearted individuals.
It’s a testament to making connections and bringing people together from different walks of life. It’s an open challenge to the sterility of online interactions and now more than ever a way of bringing humans together in humane conversation.
There are many paths that take us to Ezio Fararone Park, where we meet every Friday morning. The journey, at least for me, is half of the fun.
I ride different bikes to get there. Sometimes I bring along the barista bike and adopt the persona of the @handlebarista. It’s nice to share a cup of coffee with friends.
I know that this pandemic has been hard on people. Many of you have found me as a result of it here on this medium. So, if you ever need a safe and inclusive place to practice your social skills, or just want to share your thoughts over a cup, consider this an open invitation.
