Sorry to hear you won't be able to come down for the Smackdown on Saturday, but thanks for throwing it up on your site and spreadin' the word. If this goes well enough, we plan to make it a monthly event, the last Saturday of every month. Keep it alive in Texas!

A very belated thanks for the love, Jason!

Soulard is one of the coolest parts of the city. We held the MWRBC down there at the old Soulard Preservation Hall. Beautiful. June... maybe. Sounds great. Please do keep me posted. So you roast as well... Nice. Do you like it? Pretty hard work! Surprisingly hard!! Anyway... ramble ramble. Later!!

That would be great!! Do you still have family in the StL area? What part of StL are you from? By the way, whose coffee do you use in Lubbock, Cuvee?

Hi Jason! My business partner (and boyfriend) is also named Jason! :) I do have a lot to do in the next few months! I am very excited and very overwhelmed. Thank you so much for your offer for help--I will definitely keep your e-mail address handy. I posted a discussion in hopes of finding out people's favorite brands of machines, syrups, chocolate, etc. If you feel like commenting that would be a huge help! I really want to hear as many as opinions as I can before I start ordering! It's titled "Just Getting Started."

THANKS!

Bleh. I'm bummed I wasn't able to make it out to CF Chicago. I was suppose to compete in Millrock, but that fell through. I'm currently trying to find another cafe to work at, it's proving to be rougher than I thought, the economy is so crappy. How goes all things Haeger-like?

Whoa, how'd you score so many points?

Pretty good man. Taking it easy this year, focusing on school and trying to get done as soon as possible. I just scored a sweet deal on a commercial machine and enjoying all the goodness that comes with that. :) One of the groups needs a new solenoid, and I need to have it descaled, but it's still pretty awesome. What have you been up to?

Good luck in Lubbock, Texas! Home of Buddy Holly, my brother, and coffee
philosopher Jason Haeger 8-)

Not to mention Planet Coffee alum as well, yes. If you see him, tell him I just had lunch with Frank and he's doing well.

Coffee shops should never use the name "java" if they can help it. I thought so even before I opened.

I have my machines in. Still hoping to open dec 15th.

Went by frosted java today, just to say hey welcome to the 'hood. It still looks like Dunn Bros. we will see. If it stays open long enough it will be good to see some art here in DFW, they are wanting art to be their draw... i'm still worried bout the name and the art connection ( lack of ) Either way its a step in the right direction for Snotty frisco.

Awesome! I have a friend who goes to Tech. If I ever visit him, you should be expecting a visit from me!

Is Texas Tech in Lubbock?

Yeah, I'm ridiculously jazzed about it. I was approved for the Barista Exchange Moderator Group today, too. Schwing.

It's getting crazy up here. NWRBC is slowly gaining momentum. I have been training new employees at Trabant, and ontop of that, having to train for regionals is making my free time short and sweet. But it's going good.

Haeger! What's up? I haven't talked to you in awhile. How goes Texas?

Thanks Jason. It's actually a pre-roast blend with a lite-French roast with another single origin medium roast coffee added - post roast. We get a lot of compliments on it.
I'd like to learn more about what you do there.
Thanks, and best wishes.
Bob
