Speaker 1
Hi there are you a dirty meat eater? I am certainly not.
Speaker 2
Strictly vegetarian! My five tattoos are all related to it.
Speaker 1
Perfect so maybe you are an activist about things like animals rights and recycling, etc.
Speaker 2
Yes, definitely! Art as well, especially graffiti.
Speaker 1
As a father I like to do all of these with my son to teach him well.
Speaker 2
That's good! Have you ever seen the show friends? It's my favorite.
Speaker 1
I have seen it! My son loves it we watch after taking out the recycling.
Speaker 2
Sweet. My mom used to own a tiny coffee shop, I miss that place.
Speaker 1
I hope it was fair trade coffee.
Speaker 2
Wouldn't have served anything else! Only the best.
Speaker 1
That's a relief to hear.
Speaker 2
What kind of car do you drive? I don't even have one yet.
Speaker 1
I don't have one either, we bike or also have a double bicycle.
Speaker 2
It's a lot better for the environment that way.

Speaker 1
My son and I saw some new graffiti on the subway!
Speaker 2
Oh yeah?  Maybe it was some of mine.  At which stop did you see it?
Speaker 1
It was by the Lombardi.  I picture of a giant flower with a bee on it.  Do you know it?
Speaker 2
Oh, yes, I do know it!  It is not my work, but I have met that artist.  I have been trying to figure out a new design I can use to advertise my mom's shop while still keeping it artistic and fun.
Speaker 1
That would be so original. Unfortunately I don't have any of that artistic side in me. But I will let you know if I think of something.  Does your moms coffee shop serve breakfast too?
Speaker 2
It does! Mostly pastries and sandwiches, I don't think they have a stove or anything.  Maybe I could make a stylized cheese danish graffiti design for the shop.  What do you think?
Speaker 1
That's a great idea but I would make coffee a primary focus since that's your mom's main item. Maybe something organic like coffee leaves. 
Speaker 2
Oh, yeah! Or maybe a coffee plant that looks like it is growing up the side of the shop!  I wonder if she would let me use up that much of her shop front?  Do you think murals attract more customers to shops?
Speaker 1
I think so but it also depends on an area. If it is downtown or by the beach, it will definitely look cool.  Where is her shop located?
Speaker 2
It's not right in the middle of downtown, but it is a short walk away.  It does get a lot of foot traffic going by, so there are lots of potential customers, I just need a design to draw them in!  
Speaker 1
I am sure you will come up with something. You should take a bike ride with me by the beach.  I always find ocean really peaceful and inspirational, especially during sunrise.
Speaker 2
That sounds amazing.  I find that exercise does help my brain get cooking.  Will you bring your tandem bike or shall we ride seperately?

Speaker 1
Have you settled on the design for your mom's coffee shop mural yet?
Speaker 2
I have narrowed it down to two designs. I will send you copies. I would love your thoughts!
Speaker 1
Absolutely, How long has your mom owned her coffee shop for?
Speaker 2
She has had it for about two months. It is doing really well!
Speaker 1
Cool, well best of luck to her, I hope it is fruitful. It's really nice that you are going to help her promote it.
Speaker 2
It isn't far from the beach. Swing by on your next bike ride and give it a try!
Speaker 1
I would love to. I love a great cup of coffee, it sounds like her stuff serves some really high quality stuff.
Speaker 2
Only the finest beans. All locally sourced. It's priced reasonably too.
Speaker 1
Does she grind the beans for every cup? Coffee always tastes best when the beans are freshly ground. Makes a ton of difference in my opinion.
Speaker 2
You know it! That is the secret trick. In addition to every cup being made with love :)
Speaker 1
I bet she will run the bigger chains out of business. When people find a great cup of coffee they stick with it. The other places don't stand a chance!
Speaker 2
The chains are tough to compete with. They have such a hold on the market.

My mom's coffee shop uses local products.My mom makes her coffee by grinding beans.
Speaker 1
What's your favorite drink at your mom's coffee shop? I'm looking to try something new when I go!
Speaker 2
It is the Mocha Caramel latte with a sprinkling of french toast and chocolate shavings on top. What is your favorite coffee flavor?
Speaker 1
That sounds delicious!  I usually get a Caramel Macchiato or a Vanilla Latte.  I have only recently started grinding my own beans.  So much better!
Speaker 2
Very true, it is so much better when they are freshly ground. I am spoilt at the coffee shop but I should make the effort to do it at home.
Speaker 1
So that's cool you are designing a mural for your mom's shop.  Are you an artist?
Speaker 2
I am. I am currently looking to incorporate local businesses into but also feature a community outreach to support the local animal shelter. I am having a creative block. Any suggestions?
Speaker 1
I kind of envision a mural of various ethnicities and genders talking, sipping coffee.  Colorful, and if outside, perhaps some doggies sitting waiting while their owners sip their coffee.  But I'm no expert...lol
Speaker 2
So go the less obvious but more open route. Interesting, I need to draw attention without the sense of obligation. I like it.
Speaker 1
Well, I'm sure you'll do a great job!  I'm envious because I am the least artistic person in the world....lol
Speaker 2
I highly doubt that. Art is subjective and open to creative interpretation. You should try it in whatever form. It is incredibly relaxing.
Speaker 1
I may do that.  Just to tap into my creativity.  I do enjoy writing - especially poetry.
Speaker 2
That is cool. I am a huge fan of Dylan Thomas. Who do you respond to?

I visited your mom's coffee shop and tried the Mocha Caramel latte the way you suggested. It was delicious!
Speaker 2
I am so happy you enjoyed it! Tell your friends! We are trying to make as much buzz as possible!
Speaker 1
I certainly will.  What wall are you planning on putting the mural you are designing on?  Is it an inside wall or outside of the shop?  I cannot wait to see what you come with.  You will be painting the mural too?
Speaker 2
I will be graffitiing it! It is going to be so cool and modern. I can't give too many details because I want the reveal to be a surprise to everyone. 
Speaker 1
Well let me know when the reveal is.  I will bring my camera and take a bunch of pictures.  Maybe even livestream it!  
Speaker 2
That would be great! Thank you! I really appreciate the support!
Speaker 1
I will bring my bike down.  You know it is for two riders.  We get cruise up and down the beach after the reveal, I think that would be a lot of fun.  
Speaker 2
Sounds great! We can make a whole day of it!
Speaker 1
What else have you been up to?  Have you come across any new great veggy recipes?  I have been a little but really have not found anything that looks great - lot of good ones, though.
Speaker 2
I have so busy with the mural that I have not had time for much else. I would love to see some of your good recipes, even if they are not great!
Speaker 1
I will bring them over to the coffee shop in a few days.  If you are not around I will drop them off.  I  have them organized in a binder.  I know, a little too organized for some.  But it makes it a lot easier to find one and cook up a meal.
Speaker 2
I love that! Your organization skills are impressive!
