Austin Kings N Things

(Community Matters) I’m there waiting at Starbucks as the doors unlock. Traci greets me, Jonathan is behind the counter and acting barista.

Jonathan: How’s the week?

Eugene (half asleep): Good, oh . . . well, okay. I’m headed to Houston today

Jonathan: Really, me too, on Friday. Then back on Saturday.

Eugene (still half asleep): That’s nice. What for?

Jonathan: We’re doing a drag show.

Eugene (still half asleep): That’s nice

Eugene (waking up): Huh, you’re doing a what?

Jonathan: A drag show. We’re performing at Numbers

now, I’ve known Jonathan for nearly a year – the time he’s worked at our Starbucks – and know he has a wife and two cats

Eugene (shaking head, trying to be very woken up): umh, so tell me more . . . .
