Hannah worked in Alaska in the the summer of 2010, and, alas, did not return to us. Her brother Alec is still a barista, however. Evelyn and Tegan have left us to return to Montana. We shall miss you all! Drew and Violet married in November, 2009 and have moved to Albuquerque. Our irreplaceable and irrepressible morning barista, Jessi, has now joined them over there. Bon voyage and best wishes from the Pacha family! Farewell and bon voyage to two of our favourite baristas, Ricky and Emily. We ‘celebrated’ their departure last summer at Fonda San Miguel. Both of them can still be seen at Pacha ... ‘you can check out any time you like, but ...’:  On Tuesday, July 28, 2009 we closed at 3 PM so that the all-Austinite cast and crew of the new indie film Sunken Garden, directed by John Fiege, could shoot a scene at Pacha. Check out their websites! We even fed them dinner. They are terrific people and it was fascinating to watch them work. Movie-making is painstaking and patient. The Assistant Director had to fill in the cast as a barista, and he took a crash course from Marjorie on the art of cappuccino preparation. Marjorie herself made a cameo, looking as busy as ever—we didn’t go home until after 1 AM! Let’s back this film! To celebrate our extended hours, we hosted live music for the first time, on Friday, July 17, 2009: The Apple Trio! This precocious and talented threesome are all students at the fine Arts Academy at McCallum High School. The group began as an effort to raise money for an orchestra trip to New York to perform at Carnegie hall, but clearly it has turned into something much more. They started out playing Beatles and Led Zeppelin covers on street corners, and eventually began to collaborate on some originals. After performing a couple of times and getting some recordings out, they decided to commit to their music and to each other. Now they are The Apple Trio! (If you click on the link, you can hear samples of their original music. Highly recommended! David especially likes ‘Something New’.) MotherPacha says you’ve got to hear music in our intimate setting. We loved hosting this group! What a gorgeous and original sound.
