coffee powers the sun
"We sat down for the sunday DragonHeart Pod at WerkRoom Faro and the folks who run the space are kind enough to have a cafe machine, for those of us who need the boost ;-)

I stared at the blank page, feeling pressured by the 10 minute deadline, not knowing what to create. Than this thought crossed my mind "Can I start a drawing from a cafe stain on paper"? Seconds later I had a stain ;-)

And quickly it evolved into a sun and the weird question: What if the sun was powered by cafe? What if the only reason it shines on earth and nurtures us is so we can grow cafe beans and build rocket ships to send back an awesome roast?

Once completed the victim of choice became clear: My favorite cafe in town, the one with the awesome ocean view and the very cool owners that hang up arts from their customers.

Approaching them was easy, the metaphor of powering the sun lead to a great laugh about how crazy life and our ideas can be...

TL;DR Stay in the weird, do what doesn't make sense - if it comes from the heart it might light up the room with laughter."
