Where are you located? ( City and Country ): Brooklyn, NY

If you are a barista or shop, are you interested in a barista exchange with another coffee shop/barista?: yes
Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.: I won't let you exchange away any of the baristas I like, but if anyone wanted to send my favorite ones to NYC from Toronto, Chicago, DC or elsewhere, who am I to stand in the way of their doing so? [Note: this all happened after I wrote this blurb.]
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?: Probably about time to go to a coffee-producing nation besides the USA, eh?
About Me:: Freelance photographer and writer, specializing in the coffee industry when I can. If some girl has obnoxiously shoved her camera lens into the crook of your steam wand lately...it was probably me.

Panama was great. Let's drink coffee and talk about life and feelings and other things. It was good to see you. I really needed to get out fast so I didn't stick around. I will see you soon. Smooch!

LIZ!
If you promise to make me vegan pancakes, I might just have to come visit sometime soon. I have a couple other field trips I need to take first, but I promise I'll put you on the list.
Are you going to the barista jam? USBC? Have you stormed the New School yet and told them to accept me and give me oodles of cash? GET WITH IT!

Anne MF Boatner

Liz!
Will you be in Ithaca?
Also I had a dream a few weeks ago that I told you that I changed jobs and you just didn't get it. You were being really mean.
Also I haven't heard back from my schools in new york! What's with that? I thought you had that taken care of.

Mar 30, 2008
Anne MF Boatner

I am way not cool enough to even know what the barista resort is. I think I'm staying with some cool kids from Cleveland.
How are you getting there? You're driving? Really? So you want me to meet you in New York, cook me breakfast, and then take me to Ithaca? Oh okay sure!
(no seriously. wanna give me a ride?)

Hey and I got in to New School so maybe your dreams of me making you coffee every day just might come true!
