A little over 3 years ago my wife introduced me to the Jerry Seinfeld series “Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee” on Internet based network, Crackle. I am still an avid fan. Each episode features conversation with a unique comedic personality driving around in a magnificent automobile and sitting down in some restaurant or coffee shop. This funny series got me to thinking; there is nothing more I enjoy than sitting down with interesting, talented, inspiring good people and sharing in conversation over a cup of coffee. Hell, who doesn’t?
In my own task of promoting myself either as a designer or fine artist, the challenge of getting people to see your work or get to know you as a person is an ongoing endeavor. People hire people as much as for whom they are as what they do. So I’m borrowing, (ok maybe a little stealing) Sienfeld’s platform of conversation and coffee as a way to introduce and promote a few interesting people that I have had the opportunity to cross paths with. It’s that simple.
Each Coffee with Dino conversation takes place at a locally owned coffee house in the Phoenix area. I sit with each person and we just talk about anything and everything; it’s not an interview, it’s just a chat. Hopefully we draw some attention, or make an introduction and create a little buzz for local coffee houses.
I currently do not have the resources, equipment or know how to turn these engagements into small video productions. So until then, I will use this blog and my Facebook page to share with my readers these people of talent and character as well as give a little shout out to each location.
I hope that you enjoy the Coffee with Dino series and will share it with others. Would YOU like to have a coffee?
Hi Dino! I love this idea. If you are up for it I am.
