Hmm … is this cafe-able, I ask myself ?
Not really a cafe but one time while waiting on my car to get a tune up I brought the T-8 and some little earbuds to Mos Burger.
Waited out the maintenance with a meal and a little acid.
I have a pristine, working Macintosh Portable (the 16lb original) that I’m dying to spark up in my local hipster cafe just as soon as I can refurb the old lead-acid battery.
I think it prudent to put on your best suit and tie, order a small espresso, then sit literally in-between people, real awkward style, in that one unoccupied spot at the largest table/bar in the most populated common seating area. Then, after letting out a long sigh, pull a large chef’s knife and a very well oiled wetstone out of a leather zip up business portfolio and just start sharpening the blade slowly and methodically.
every now and then cough and let a little fart out when you do. Best gear for cafe, right there. all the attention you desire and more.
If I were to do this - hypothetically, of course - how would you suggest I moisten the whetstone?
first look around and ask if anyone has any baby oil on them, and then say never mind and squeeze your pre-oiled glistening hair like you were wringing a wet washcloth and let some drip on the blade and the stone. Then ask if anyone has a handkerchief you can borrow.
hypothetically of course
Apple pan won’t care, owned by music folks. Just keep the grease off the gear! Haha
If someone that looks like me was sitting in the corner of a cafe fiddling with two little black boxes and a bunch of cables, I reckon someone would be calling the bomb squad.
I took an OP-Z to the pub one quiet afternoon. Discrete enough.

Spit, intentionally and methodically whilst refusing to break eye contact. If you miss, continue spitting.
Oil-dropper is fine too, I guess. But lessens the dramatic.

Doubly so if they heard the music you were making on them!
Now I want to hear @Fin25 making MC-101 + S-1 sound like Lyra-8 + Polivoks + Heat
I think if I was to achieve that, it would mean the untimely death of both synths.
this picture is more iconic and equally traumatic to the burning monk, I’ll tell you that right now.
It’s actually much more boring to look at than that
