Mike,
sorry to miss you. I actually couldn't make it. I found out last minute that day 1 was all barista basics and could only come for Saturday as I had prior engagements Sunday. I REALLY wanted to come, but I couldn't justify spending $100 in traveling and reg. expenses for just a day of basics classes, but I hear things were great... and I Will let you know next time I'm in town. In fact, I'm flying out of Chi town Thursday to Panama. I don't have much time to get coffee, but when we come back from the trip I might be able to swing by. I'll let you know.

mike,
I'm coming next weekend, but I can only be there on Saturday. Do I still have to sport all the cash for the whole weekend or can we barter. I think I have a wheel of cheese or some goat's milk that may be a good trade... totally kidding.

or maybe it was cap'n crunch berries!

Michael: was that you who won all those Gold medals (or were they gold records..?) recently? Thought I saw you sans shades on a wheaties...

I was going to come to the Spro' Down but I have a pug event on that Saturday. Can I come just on Sunday? I will let you win the next Dance off....Let you.

Hope life in the Chi is treating you well my friend. I'll see you on the 4th and ill bring some other uglies with me.

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up.

trevor from madcaps sent me the info sheets, but I was unsure as to who exactly is taking the helm for this one. It sounds exciting though. I talked to Chris and it had just slipped his mind, but I'm definitely in and and would love to help in any way needed.

Mike,
I just heard about the glrbj (nice acronym).. are you guys hosting that?

Hello to you Sir!

Not sure when I might make it to the Windy City... times are strange right now. Leaving Batdorf August 1st. Moving to a new Job.

More information to foll0w s0on.

Good to hear from you. ...and I do look forward to visiting your fine Town, and throwing down some great coffees with you.

it is a little bit from column A, a little from column B and a heap from column C...


I want coffee. I want the mystical Mike-E P. making it for me to the E.

the Mike P is SOOOO hot right now! THe world is banging down his capp cup to get some of that sweet coffee love.

i think i just invited you, but you are already a member. and i just wanted us to be friends. do you want to do an exchange? i'll come work in your cafe.

octane misses you and your crew.

You are correct, my friend. Let's just say they don't call it "The Dirty South" for nothin'. Danger is only the beginning...

I appreciate the feedback on the capps in practice man.... Win or lose at USBC, you win every time you set a drink down in front of me... I look forward to catching up sometime in the near future... keep your eyes peeled for the corn fed barista throwdown...

oops....that was meant for natasha....haha...i don't know you. sorry.

So did you kick ass or what?!

uh, soon that is.
