About Me:: I'm Holly and I'm a barista and trainer. I've been working for PT's Coffee Roasting Co since 2000 and been around the SCAA since 2002. My first competition was in Anaheim and I got to witness the "boot-girl" incident...My non-coffee interests include writing, music (I started as a violist...otherwise known as an 'orch dork' and know play back up bass to Robin Seitz in Guitar Hero), fiction reading, Strong Bad, 24, wine, and video games. There's much more, but these 'about me' boxes always catch me off guard....

You should add music so I can copy it. I have no Mp3s... or I do and I'm just retarded. Really, it could be either one.... :)

Does it officially classify you as a dork if you're on Barista Exchange 20 mins. after you arrive home from watching a Regional Competition?

Anyway, great performance by your team this weekend! It's a good day to be reppin' PT's. And always great to hang w/ you guys.

Congrats to you and the crew. They always forget about the star trainer. Don't let those tall hunks take all the credit.

I have some tweeking to do, but I'm going to compete. I'm thinking spurs might be a nice touch.
