Right on. Well, next time your in New York, maybe i'll be making you a wonderful coffee!

Hope all went well in NY. It was awsome havin you at the shop behind the bar and hangin out afterward. Sorry about that terrible experience at that shop after lunch, that sucked, I had no idea. Anyway, had a ton of fun, I'd love to do it again sometime.

Later.

Hey Sasha!

Sorry I missed you...I was hoping we could hook up...but my Monday was all booked up. Owners just got back from Ethiopia/Rwanda, so we were pretty much getting caught up all day. Sally just brought me the coffee you left at King Street...thank you thank you! Dennis (our buyer) visited the same Finca (Siberia) that your El Salvador is from last month. It will be fun to cup those coffees out... We are making some decisions on Nics, Salvador and others so they will be a good challenge to what we've already cupped.

I hope you had a good time in Madison. When you get to New York, if you have time, check out (in Brooklyn) The Victory. A small shop, been in business for 13 years. Owners have a great focus on quality...

Track me down at SCAA and I'll also be in Seattle for my sisters wedding in late July. I'm sure you'll find me at Lighthouse while I'm there.

I'm sure we'll meet soon enough!

later-Ryan

thanks! im happy to be here!

I am soo ready for a lattee art showdown......I need to get this bad lattee art monkey off my back!!!!!!!!

Hey....that chocolate......was delicious........and 300 was amazing.

are you reading your book on the 50's?? Do I sound like you Mom yet?

I know, kindda like, KFed... which is just scary.

Anyway, it's great to be here, and I get sarcastic when I'm nervous. Hopefully no offense was taken.

YAY!

Thanks, Sasha!

good, what about yourself?

Thanks for the pat on the back man... It's fun right. 4:15am. Yeah lots of fun. We're about an hour outside of the city. Northwest Metra Line to Pingree Rd Station. Easy. When are you in Chicago?

Hey definitely hit me up as it gets closer (whats the date exactly?) I dont really know what Intellys feelings are about exchanges but we can almost certainly get you into the roastery to sit in on some cuppings and to play around in the lab. If you need a crash spot I might be able to hook that up as well. lemme know lady...

ahhh... miss you too! I really do miss the banter and great conversation - you bring great ideas to the job (and life)- and Voice mail! (I did get your message.)

have a great weekend

See you at 8 am on the bar tomorrow...

dude you are so cool.

Sorry about takin so long to get back to you. We've been wicked busy openin a new store.

We're like a 5 min cab ride. Yea, if you have time swing on by. That would be awsome.

Yay, portatatts! Mine was done about a month before SCAA Long Beach. I got it done by a great shop here in Kansas City called The Mercy Seat. Hella good guys and artists.

Whats goin on man? Hell yea for portafilter tats! I got it like a month or two before Coffee Fest Atlanta, I plannin on makin it a whole seed to cup half sleave. How long have you had yours?

I didn't work for Batdorf...the owners of Ancora spent some time with Larry and Sherrie back in 1992/3.
Actually, the first time I heard of Batdorf was at Javasti in the Greenlake/Northgate area...I've become more familiar with them in WI than in Seattle!
