[It's been nearly four years since the finale of Airlocked!, live on the air in front of millions.
Since then, Bolton has lived a quiet, happy life with his husband and their best friend, keeping busy with his relentlessly queer Portland cafe.
In fact, it's so hard to take the Champion Barista out of the bar that he's brought it with him - he has a portable espresso bar with the cafe logo on the front of it, a carved wooden sign that says "Bean Me Up Bistro" over a UFO with a giant coffee bean in its tractor beam. A sandwich board sign propped up next to it lists the specials and limited food items:
(Flat) White Christmas - A flat white topped with grated nutmeg Matchabees - Green tea oatmilk latte (dairy free) Baby, It's Cold Brew-side - Bean Me Up's custom limited holiday cold brew Gelt-y Pleasure - Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Mocha Seaven's Greasons - Italian soda with two random shots.
For those who've never met the man before, wearing his favorite holiday apron, he might be mistaken for a minimum wage food service employee. But watching him behind the bar, no matter how simple the drink, is more like watching Michelangelo sculpting David, or Da Vinci painting the Mona Lisa - a master of his craft, secure and confident in his element.]
