CAC Insider Drew Torbeck talks CAC Openings

 Q: If the CAC openings were a beverage, what would the beverage be and why?
A. A mojito, because the drink is different, almost exotic, but has a sweetness to it that can please any palate.

Q. How many people do you bring to a CAC opening?
A. I always bring at least a few friends to an opening since they offer something different than the standard night at a bar.

Q. Where’s your favorite spot inside the CAC?
A. I like to camp just inside the main door. It offers a good view of the entire lobby and you can see people coming and going.

Q. What’s the funniest thing you overheard at a CAC opening?
A. "This makes me space out," said by a patron observing one of the Stanczak pieces.
