Starbucked
Not exactly hot off the press at this time, but I profiled Taylor Clark, author of Starbucked: A Double Tall Tale of Caffeine, Commerce and Culture in last(!) Sunday's Oregonian. Clark worked for Willamette Week for a couple years before striking out on his own.
We talked about his book and life as a freelancer sitting in the lone Starbucks of Beaumont Village; he drank Earl Grey by Tazo and I, the Grande Americano With Room that I no longer drink twice daily. Two better coffee shops sat nearby, but Clark didn't write books about them.
This piece happened to coincide with another coffee piece that I figured would have run last Thursday (but is instead buried somewhere in the Oregonian's pipes). More on that (and the photos that were too dark to use) maybe Thursday. Hold your collective breath, Reader.
