Ian, how the hell are you man? Time to visit the big metro of KC. All well in Spring? I heard St. Louis was a blast. Competition was great.

How's Springfield, Mo!??! Things are good on the east side. You know, just a few tornadoes and a lot of flooding. Typical MO spring. How's the latte art coming along? Hopefully a lot better than what I was throwing down while I was down there. I hope to get back there some time this summer. Catch me up to speed. See ya.

Good to hear from you as well. No, I'm not at the cafe' right now. I hope to be somewhere really soon though. Still trying to get school taken care of. Yet, I am managing to stay neck deep in coffee. I'm very glad to hear that your art is going well. Next time I show up maybe we can have a throw-down. Blind judging, blind taste tests on your machines. You up for it? We should do it. We should get some of your other baristas in on it, and maybe some of the Sprngfld Kaldi's crew as well. (Yeah,... you're right... I'm just looking for a way to score a bunch of free and delicious PT's coffee.) later.
