Starbucking
Documenting a caffeine-powered quest to visit every Starbucks in the world has become the mission of a Nebraska attorney.
Bill Tangeman, 32, of Kearney, who was a journalist before going into law, is making a documentary film about a Houston native who goes by the name Winter, who set out in 1997 to get a caffeinated drink at every corporate-owned Starbucks store on the planet.
On his Web site (http://www.starbuckseverywhere.net) Winter, who was born Rafael Antonio Lozano, said that as of Aug. 8, he had visited 4,775 Starbucks in North America and 213 in other parts of world. Outside of North America, Winter has gone to Starbucks in Spain, England, France and Japan. There are 5,715 corporate-owned Starbucks in the world, according to the Seattle-based company's August newsletter on it Web site.
"Every time I reach a Starbucks I feel like I've accomplished something," Winter said, "when actually I have accomplished nothing." Tangeman wanted to film a documentary for years. When he read an article about Winter last year, he realized he had found his muse. "I found his story fascinating," Tangeman said Monday.
Tangeman got in touch with Winter and has since spent several days on the road with him, gathering about 40 hours of film for the movie, which will be called, "Starbucking."
Tangeman wants to complete "Starbucking" by the end of the year in hopes of submitting it to the Sundance Film Festival, which begins in late January in Utah.

Jeez, the whole concept seems like a waste of time and film to me but...to each his own.
