KEEP OUR CUTE BOYS ALIVE

THIS IS NO JOKE!

TOO MANY of our friends have been getting hit by CARS while on their BIKES. Not only did we have a BENEFIT FOR A BROKEN ARM to raise funds to help our dear uninsured friend Jamie L to pay for her surgery after getting hit by a car, but now we have learned that MORE of our VERY OWN Cute Chicago Boys have gotten slammed into by CARS while they are riding bicycles.

(Austin H., Mike H., Gabriel R., and Brandon E have all gotten hit by bikes since CuteChicagoBoys.com launched, Mike H and Austin both got hit this WEEK! Thankfully they are alive and well, with only two of them landing in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries).

Drivers: please be aware of your surroundings, check your mirrors before opening doors, stay out of the bike lane, and most importantly, SHARE THE ROAD!
Cyclists: Ride smart! Helmets, Lights, abide the Rules of the Road and ALWAYS get the driver's insurance information even if you get a minor hit!

We don't want to put up any ghost bikes for our Cute Chicago Boys.

KEEP OUR CUTE CHICAGO BOYS ALIVE!

We'd Pick up this Hitch-hiker Anytime

There is nothing that we love more than a boy with a story. Jonathan J. is not your average twenty-something coffee shop eye-candy. At only 23, this Cute Boy has unconventionally traveled the world and the States by freight train hopping and hitch-hiking, all while continuing to be a award winning latte artist. Why can't all vagabonds be this cute?

Name: Jonathan J
Age: 23
Neighborhood: Logan Square
Hometown: Everywhere. Last was Colorado, but I've lived in four other countries (Germany, England, Japan, Korea) and Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Occupation: Barista at New Wave Coffee in Logan Square, and I roast coffee at Ipsento in Bucktown two days a week.
Orientation: Straight
Status: Totally Available!
Sign: Libra
Wearing: Coffee-stain friendly t-shirt and jeans with his signature bandanna.

Fun Fact: I like traveling illegally on Freight Trains. Basically you wait for a train to come by really slow and you jump on. Sometimes you can ride in an empty engine and you just travel. The farthest I've gone is one state, from Colorado to Wyoming, and I actually hitchhiked back. I also used to be the third-best latte artist in America!
You can find me: New Wave Coffee, the Violet Hour, the Rocking Horse, and every now and again at the Whistler.
