Oxford bartender Joe Stinchcomb<\/strong> recently became…a LEGO. That’s right, Joe is part of the first line of the 2021 LEGO Bartender Collection<\/a><\/strong>. We reached out to LEGO Joe Stinchcomb<\/strong> for an exclusive interview about his existence, ambitions, and newfound celebrity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you prefer \u201cJoe\u201d or \u201cJoseph\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prefer Joe, but my mom says its unprofessional to go by my nickname.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you enjoying your newfound existence?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, It’s really cool. I never would have thought in a million years that I would be a LEGO. Talk about bragging rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you made any new LEGO friends?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have made tons to new LEGO friends. Just the other day I was hanging out with LEGO Harry Potter and LEGO Luke Skywalker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk us through a day in the life of LEGO Joe.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wake up with slight back pain from laying on a brick all night. I put on my pants\/shoe combo and head out. I visit my local watering hole, which is around the block. I see some of LEGO friends, then I go to work serving some of the best drinks in LEGO land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you traveled to any LEGO Worlds recently? If not, where are the top places you\u2019d like to visit?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saw the Bionicles! I haven’t seen them since I was a little LEGO boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you watched any of the LEGO movies yet? Who are your favorite characters?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have! I really like LEGO Batman and Green Lantern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your ambitions? Do you plan to start your own LEGO bar anytime soon?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully sometime in the near future, I’ll have enough stacked to build my own bar. Until then come see LEGO Joe at Saint Leo<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re part of the first line of LEGO Bartenders. Whom else would you like to see join the ranks of the LEGO bartenders?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would love to see some of my idols become LEGOs like Ashtin Berry<\/strong><\/a> or Tiffany Barriere<\/a><\/strong>. I also think Jayce McConnell<\/a><\/strong> would make a killer LEGO with that mustache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you could have drinks with one LEGO person, past or present, who would that be? What cocktail might you mix up for that person?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would love to have drinks with LEGO Spiderman. I would make that the meanest Manhattan he’s ever had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a bartender, what\u2019s your favorite cocktail going into the warmer months of 2021?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything that is bright and refreshing. Strawberries are in season and are perfect to use in any drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you tell us something about human Joe Stinchcomb that readers may not know?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That he still plays with LEGOs and reads comic books. He’s still a big kid at heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
