While doing interviews for this oral history of the short-lived, long-shuttered Dinkytowner Café, I heard a constant refrain: “Wait, have you talked to . . . ?” inevitably followed by names. Names that I had talked to, names I hadn’t yet talked to but knew I should, and—every single time—names that nobody else had mentioned, or would. You can see how this might be an issue, especially considering that I spoke with, yep, 56 people for this.
