STINIS MONDAY COFFEE STAND at @chefkatsubk, September 22nd 2025 — It was another beautiful day for a coffee pop-up! Recently, I’ve been experimenting with different drippers, and I’ve finally settled on the Silk Dripper from @beandy_coffee. Its faster water flow pairs wonderfully with the beans I’m currently serving: Juan Peña — a washed anaerobic Typica from Loja, Ecuador roasted by our friend @loveless_coffees. Even after more than two month off roast, these beans still hold their flavor remarkably well. @loveless_coffees has had a great lineup of amazing coffees on their shelfs lately, and I’ve tried nearly all of them—but this one still remains my favorite. Today, I also had a chance to meet wonderful people and share meaningful conversations. This pop-up truly has become a space where I connect with others who share the same passion for coffee. So inspiring . Thank you all for coming out ! 【Dial-in note】 Beans: Juan Pena a washed anaerobic Typica, Loja Ecuador by @loveless_coffees Roast date: 7/22 (62nd day) Dosing: iced 18g / 150ml / ice 60g + 100g /93c Hot 18g / 300ml / 93c Method: 46Method — iced 150ml 1st pour 30 ml / 50g spiral 10x agitation (only for iced) 2nd pour 60ml / 120g vigourous spiral 3rd pour 90g / 180g spiral pour 4th pour 120ml / 240g Spiral pour 5th pour 150ml / 300g center Grinder(Lagomi mini2 @option_o.brewlab): Ice 150: 23.2 hot 300: 28.2 Dripper: Beandy Silk Dripper @beandy_coffee Drawndown: iced — iced 2:30 hot 3:00 Location: Brooklyn, NY Weather: sunny Temp: 57f Notes: Nice, mellow bright acidity with a banana-like tropical note.

If your camera guy looks like this, you know the footage is gonna be 🔥 BTS 🎯 Sniped by the 🐐 Griffin, who brought me onto this really cool mixed media project. I’m shooting b-roll on my lil retro Japanese camcorder, which is always a vibe. 📹🔥 Does it make you feel old that digital camcorder footage feels retro? 🤔 It’s basically budget film 🎞️ 😂 And of course I had to rock the iconic VERDE kit and fit, to show love to @austinfc I always rep Austin but today i repped it a lil extra hard, as The MLS All Star game took place in Austin, the city that was my second ever home in this life. 🎥✂️: @itsgriffgroff

Last year was the first year I jumped in and sold my own work, and it’s been incredibly freeing, silly and special ever since. I always say Wannabe Retiree isn’t a business, because it’s not. It’s me, a person who wants to create more colorful, fun work, and to share some phrases that speak true to me — whether it be “tender melons” or something more culturally aware of current bullshit, foundational bullshit, and any other bullshit I disagree with. I guess I share this rant on an app that both connects but serves as an empty void to say — I’m here not as a brand, but a person looking to share. I may help create brands but I do that with and for people who I believe are also more than the businesses and brands they help run. We are all people who need balance and community more than ever. So I guess what I’m trying to say, is that I’m so lucky and excited for the genuine interactions I’ve had at markets and for the ones yet to come! So grateful to the folks who I’ve worked with in the past, the folks I am currently working on future projects with, and the many more phone calls that become catch ups rather than business meetings. You all make whatever it is that I’m doing feel so seen. Love ya! I am a Pisces after all, and therefore a mush for the real shit 💖💖

That’s a wrap on 2023. Reflecting on it is a bit odd. High highs and low lows, it was a real mixed bag. A bag mostly mixed with cacca. The top layer being the worst financial year in a long time. A very long time. Personally and as a business owner, there were moments of flying a little too close to sun. Advertising budgets had a lull, tech hiccuped, and Hollywood went on strike. Forced to shut down our New York stage and months without any work. Burning through a savings account that I just started to get familiar with. Naturally much of 2023 involved cursing at every project that slipped through the cracks. Lots of days resenting the film industry. But alas- hold tight, let go easy. As a silver lining those gloomy months birthed the drive to finally make a feature film instead of always pitching one. It felt good to take the cacca and make something with it. To be “happy as a pig in shit” as my parents say. So came diving into the beautiful, raw, personal world of someone I really look up to. Borrowing equipment and filming alongside my closest friends as we drank aperol spritz on-set. The line between “work” and “pleasure” has never been defined to me. So maybe disconnecting from “the industry” is what people like me should embrace (don’t quote me on that since I still have to pay rent). But I learned I enjoy Italy enough to go 3 times in one year… and still yearn for more. Grazie Dio. With that, the highs. Premiering a film at SXSW with friends and family and selling out every screening. A year as a fiancé and appreciating every moment of it. Attending friends weddings that were as fun, if not more fun, than the movies. Literally flying around the world. Adventures that range from having a rental car break down in the desolate Icelandic countryside, to slamming a bottle of sake and bowl of clam soup in the Seoul airport just before a 14-hour flight. Maybe the question is, what does a year like this mean to me? I have no idea. Not a clue. Only time will tell how it contributes to the baggage. But show me your friends, and I’ll show you who you are.

2022 was the hardest fucking year. I’ve never felt more personally thrown through loops or disconnected. Sending love and a reminder that this is an app lol. Let’s all hug and dance/drink/laugh/eat too much together in person soon. For now, I’m hopping off and will be present on my silly art account @wannabe_retiree 💖
