I will try and make it more about the band and less about me and my checkered past

See how that works

It's already a total mess

Chelsea Will Go Anywhere # 1: magic themed coffee shop

This is the first post in a recurring series where I assign a
photography mission to my good friend and excellent
photographer Chelsea Lowe.

By "photography mission" I mean this:

I send Chelsea into a place of business that distresses or interests me, and I get her to take pictures. I then re-create the menu or merchandise based on my impressions of her photos.

The first place Chelsea has agreed to go is a magic-themed coffee shop in Langford, BC.

The coffee shop is called "Illusions Cafe: the Magic of a Fresh Cup".

I haven't been this perplexed since I first heard about Long Island's "Yogourt 'N Such".

ILLUSIONS CAFE MENU

1. ABRACADABRA wraps: a sorcerous mélange of fantastical feta, magnetic mayonnaise, telekinetic tomato, and perplexing pepper, all swaddled up in a wizard-wrap 12.95$

2. PRESTO-PESTO BAR: Occult-oats. Presto-Pesto. Tastier than you’d think. Not starving? Ask us to "saw it in half!" 8.95$ "sawed in half": 8.25$ (plus .70 cent "sawing" surtax)
