Morning warriors.

Through the history of mankind, cultures across the globe have held their warrior class in high esteem. The knights of the Middle Ages are legendary in both their deeds and valors. Vikings warriors traversed inhospitable seas, battling wily kraken and vicious Gaul alike. The Japanese samurai were brilliant tacticians and swordsmen who adhered to a strict code of honor.

Following in the footsteps of their forbearers, we find Capogiro's own morning warrior class here on Walnut Street in West Philadelphia: Miles and Ezra, our own stalwart soldiers.



Between crafting the finest espresso drinks in the neighborhood, slicing (and to a lesser extent, dicing) scrumptious H&H bagels with a quickness, scooping piccolos with unmatched scoop accuracy, and cheerfully greeting our regulars with a smile and slightly uncomfortable wink, one would be hard-pressed to cite a historically more valiant pair of troopers. While you'd think that their exploits in the cafe would leave them too spent to do anything with their free time, they are both know to be powerful spellcasters who moonlight as creators of hot new television pilots (check CBS for the this fall's Meow Town- "Where one paw can make all the difference".) Miles is also in training at the Dry-Erase Marker Academy, and his early works have been hailed as "the Rembrandts of the flying ghosts punching angry horses genre".

As a retired general of the morning warrior class, I salute these two as worthy inheritors of the pride-inspiring Capogiro standard. May she ever fly high, whipping all of West Philadelphia to a gelato-consuming frenzy!
