Banks,
I'm sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Been a mad few weeks. Dog died, roaster training, staff sick, good mood diminished thoroughly. Sorry to have flaked on you.
Do you think we can get one organized for before Christmas?
What? You don't like communicating through the job search chain?
Yeah, I'm in the shop M-F, usually until about noon or 1. Longer hours these days as I have 2 trainees. One of them mnade me a great cappuccino this afternoon so it's looking good.
I was out with JP Oughtred, Shane from Habit and Rob from Fernwood and I mentioned it to a couple of them - they're interested. Shane hosts regular Tuesday cuppings at Habit but it'll be good to bring in some out-of-town beans.
Hey Banks! I just returned from Vangroovy and a scooter rally! I'm exhausted and a little hung over...
OCtober 10 sounds good. What's the ferrry sched?
We should post this on BX, start a group or something - there is the coffee tasters guild that we could invite members to. I'll have to make you an admin of that. ANy invitees you want to be there?
What do you think we can get for that date?
When I first opened I was importing espresso from all over but my customers didn't think the idea was cool as I did. If you're into getting beans and cupping then I'm in to it too. As close as Vancouver and Seattle and Portland and as far away as square mile or wherever...Maybe a once/month get together at a shop/someone's house in SW BC.
Hey, sorry so distant lately. Still going at it, and sorta making some headway. There may be some chance to sell our house and by a building and consolidate. Live up stairs and have the coffee house on the main floor. Will let you know how it works out.
Good to hear from you as well. How are you liking BC so far? I hope the move wasn't too awful.
CLT is good. Have some fun stuff happening, including the TNT that Brent, Jason and I are working on building up and the coming of a promising new shop (Central Coffee).

Do you know where I can get any good coffee.
I am excited to see your pics from Sumatra! Loved the ones from Nicaragua! It's dark and yucky here, so enjoy the sun for all of us!

BTW: you've been enjoying one of the nicest summers we've had in this part of the world. Missing home?

Getting a roaster in a few weeks!

Have you dug yourself out of the snow yet?
