The wave was coming.
Most couldn’t see it.
Very few were in the water.
But, Two Johns were. Ready to catch it.
Well, actually, t’was a John and a Jon.
John and Jon were in Madrid. Studying a MBA.
In the evenings, parked in baroque slow-paced courtyards, under mind-meltingly, soul-nourishingly wonderful pink-orange sunsets.
John and Jon would glug back G&Ts. Big voluptuous goblet glasses, igloo-thick ice cubes and zesty-slices of fresh orange. Bathing in Baroque Blissssssss.
John and Jon, could feel the Gin Revolution wave coming, the tectonic plates of D2C moving and shaking.
