Why the cafe? — Part 1 March 17
I have a longer post in the works ansering “Why the Cafe?“, but since there’s been a lot of talk in the blogosworld about this recent article from the San Francisco Chronicle, I figured I should write a note about it here.
The article, “WHERE NEO-NOMADS’ IDEAS PERCOLATE: New ‘bedouins’ transform a laptop, cell phone and coffeehouse into their office” details cafe working culture in Silicon Valley, and uses the term “bedouins,” or nomadic Arabs.
Being nomadic may be fun and good — we had a lot of fun cafeSlamming the other week in the Lower East Side — but eventually nomads will need their trading post, their watering hole. That’s one reason “why the cafe”: it’s a place we “unteathered” “e-bedouins” can come rest our weary, latte craving heads.
