Giordano

Giordano, aka "Gio,"works at Cafe Metropol on E 3rd in the Arts District. We here at WAP have become regulars there and always look forward to the great service and conversation with Gio. Today, he agreed to a few photos at the end of his work day.

Gio was born in Cuba and like me, survived Catholic school. We had a great conversation about God, evolutionary biology, nuns and my mother's potty mouth. (We both learned curse words in Spanish by example...)

After about 15 minutes, he answered his cellphone. It was his boss. I am not sure what was said, but the shoot ended—immediately.

We never got around to the story about the tattoos. I hope you didn't get into any trouble my friend!
