  This has nothing to do with coffee
No, wait, that's not exactly right...

The best thing about road trips is that final stretch on the road getting back to familiar signs and that cozy strip of road you frequent most. Radio station presets come back in tune and you can shake off the fatigue for a second wind as you know you are close to home.

Now that I'm back in town, a few notes for my fellow Cantabrigians:

- If you are a Cambridge Barista, there's word of a local event. Still looking for sponsors, music shops, bike shops, etc to make it happen and a bar for the after party. I'm supporting as best I can, email me if you want to participate and I will forward you to the organizers. Highlight will be a latte art throwdown and some free swag.

- An event upcoming in one month. This will be a big event. Owner agreed to this as long as we take it very serious and put together a good show. Vac pots and lots of coffee. Interested roasters need only drop me an email. You get the stage with at least two of the areas best shop owners and a crowd of hi flyin consumers with good palates at one of my favorite locales. Details will come up on the site closer to event time.


Gratuitous latte art parting shot...

I can provide the bar for afterwards. Jaime, if you could produce the cup pictured in a competition setting, it would take the $$. By the way, the Millrock Championships, next in Seattle in November, now has $5000 first prize.

Hey Henry,

I'll pass along details when it all settles as more than discussion. I think this was intended to be a cambridge event only but we'll see where it lands depending on who wants to participate. Maybe you would consider being a guest judge with Mark M.?
 
Jaime-

Let me know if there is anything I can do. I'd be happy to get involved somehow.

Got it Bob, Thanks.

We are moving, got one of the bigger shops in the area to get behind us in doing this. I am waiting to see how things go. Once enough people are behind attending, we can work on location and sponsors/volunteers.
 
good stuff! hopefully i'll be around if it's in sept. let me know if there's something i can help with.
