While I’m saddened to hear of Youngblood’s unexpected and sudden closing, I’d like to take a moment to remember everything that place gave me. 
I remember the day YB opened, I showed up too late and was going to leave but they gave me a cold brew on the house. I kept returning. It became a sacred place @kaydargs and I would spend countless hours at. 
YB gave me one of my best friends, @notactuallylane 
The summer Lane and I became friends was chaotic and so very fun. I remember the pep talk Kaytlin and Lane gave me one night in 2016 to leave my toxic relationship. I remember making pour overs being a little hungover after sleeping on Lane’s bathroom floor. I remember my diet being about 80% sourdough bread and drinking so much coffee I would shake. 
We developed a sensitivity to a room where you could feel what record to put on, how loud to play it, and quickly adjust when it wasn’t quite right. We developed a hustle and sense of care towards patrons I hadn’t experienced at a job before. 
YB lit a fire under my ass and a love for hospitality that I can’t shake. It also stressed me the fuck out and probably has something to do with my acid reflux problems but you can’t have it all. A lot of us former coworkers charmingly describe this mix of urgency and skill as “having that Youngblood in you”.
YB is where I first met Stephanie. She brought Kiba in when he was just a puppy and ordered a turmeric tea. We became inseparable. YB is where I first met @karlimcmartin . @must.be.aaron and I worked the final shift before covid shutdowns with her. We met again years later and instantly sparked, I’m proud to call this sweet babe my girlfriend 🖤
Between coworkers and patrons, my friendships grew and grew. A lot of the skills I bring to @starbirdlounge are things I learned or developed at YB. While I’m disappointed in the sudden closure, I wish so much for the baristas and patrons to have had a heads up and get to say goodbye to the space, I’m thankful for the time I had there and the bonds I cherish now.

Everyone has been asking me what the Summer look is, so here it is. BIG ASS BOOT, small ass shorts, BIG ASS SHIRT (and this is very important) CROPPED, chunky sunglasses. You’re welcome.

Featuring some digital camera photos since I’m on my bullshit now, look out.
