What was the best part of the fest for everyone this year? What was the biggest/best thing you learned in the classes? Did you find yourself at any good parties? Come on people ... lets share highlights!

I think the best part for me was simply being more open to what was going on. Last time I went and was vary barista focused and took only a few classes, this year I allowed myself to be more open and I learned a lot.
I think the classes I got the most out of were those that Bruce Milleto taught. (Matt didn't to do bad of a job either.) Lots of info, which I am still processing.
I wish I could've made it to the party on Friday night - I was just so wiped out from traveling that I got to bed early.

Anyway, I loved the Fest and can't wait til I can make it to one of the next big events.
