    I have photo envy.
    Damn, that's a slick pic.

    Jay, what is the buzz on Saxby's in the Balt/Wash area?

    Are they spending any ad money down there, yet?

    I'm a fan of the podcast at PF. I'll check you at CFDC.

    Is there a soundtrack available for that pic?

    Jan 21, 2008

  • Jay Caragay

    Soundtrack? Perhaps "Sitting at the Wheel" by the Moody Blues.

    Those are The Spro Baristas, circa September 2007: Ruth, Arianna and Bonnie. Tough baristas. I'm very proud of them.

    Hola Jay

    Next time you come to Mexico City I will take you to eat Carnita's Tacos from a street vendor's stand I know. I'm pretty sure you're going to love them. Me and the girls (Adriana and Anita) are going to Minneapolis. Would you like me to bring you something from Mexico (tequila, mezcal?) See you soon.

    Mar 19, 2008

  • Jay Caragay

    Oooh, something from Mexico? That's tempting. I'll have to think about that for a bit and let you know. Carnitas Tacos? Sounds good already. Maybe I can come out for the barista championship again - and this time really be able to help out more.

    Pretty sure "Latte Art in Your Mouth" is one of the funnier things I've seen in the past couple hours... I'm even willing to go to days, but I have some pretty dumb friends so I can't go all the way to this week... but for today: you win!

    Mar 21, 2008

  • Sylvia Gutiérrez

    What happened? I read yesterday at your profile that you were 38 years old, but today 39... Was it your birthday today?
    Congratulations if so! Think and let me know what do you want from D.F.

    I am afraid I cannot endorse the activities in the video, or recommend they be attempted by anyone for any reason. I burned the crap out of my uvula. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME

    Mar 25, 2008

  • Sylvia Gutiérrez

    I saw Anita yesterday, we are planning how to get the money for our trip to Minneapolis and Diamarca. But she is no longer sure about going to Minneapolis, that's too bad for the rest of us. I hope she changes his mind today.

  • Troy Reynard

    Hey Jay, Happy Birthday! I hope you're in your velvet jacket, with a Playboy bunny by your side, puffing on a big Cohiba with a fine 20 yr. old Scotch in your hand, because that's the way you roll! Niiiiiice!
