I really like the Starbucks on Bay Area and NASA Road One. However, I had a strange experience of the third kind there, and haven't been back. Here is what happened. I decided to do some work on my laptop. I setup on the checkerboard table. I got caught up in what I was doing and stayed a long time, too long. The baristas had changed shift a couple times. About hour nine, the music rolled over for the third or fourth time. On that rollover, it just felt weird.
I was probably on the verge of hitting the point Sign Dude hit. Legend has it that Sign Dude appears at all Starbucks simultaneously. He is an apparition whose energy field makes its way through the air conditioning vents. He is summoned by the buzz of the expresso machines.
Now the thought of going in gives me a sort of clausterphobia. I was one coffee bean away, one Bob Dylan song, from Sign Dude's fate.
Ivana was a hologram. She was three parts caffeine and one part latte, a bazillion atoms wiggling, resonating to sign dude's tattoos on his girly man muscles. No more Alabama. No more watcha havin'.
