Who is that serving my Latte?

To the left is a picture of Carmen and Devin. Carmen is working as a barista and Devin is helping out with marketing. Carmen is from Homer, Alaska where she owns a coffee shop. When the pipes there thaw enough for her to run water, she'll return to Alaska. We'll all miss Carmen - she fits perfectly into the Marigny Perks culture. Devin makes tamales for us to sell and helps out in lots of other ways. Both of them came to New Orleans to help with the recovery.

I'm going to continue with pictures of the baristas and a little bio of them. They are the engine that keeps Marigny Perks going. I think I'm getting better at detecting personalities that will work well in the shop. We have a group of really great folks behind the counter now. What would work just fine at a Starbucks might not at Marigny Perks.

Here's a picture of Travis and Johnny - looking like American expatriates sitting at a Mexican cantina. More on them later.
