    Can you talk to your mom, see if it's cool if y'all bring over your Super Jolly (that decaf grinder) to Walden's for the next little get-together? And a couple pounds (we won't use it all) of a coffee of your choice? I have something pretty cool in mind...

  • Joey Trujillo

    When would you guys like to get together again? Your mom said ok on the grinder by the way.

  • Joey Trujillo

    Thursday is fine. So bring your grinder please, and pick a coffee of your choice that you all would like to use (bring enough to fill your hopper, but we certainly won't use even close to that much). And we'll have the same, and we'll get a little espresso tasting and drink building workshop thing goin ok?

    ah! I know I'm sorry about last week! I had so much going on with finals and everything, I totally spaced it... Not sure why Ben didn't just call me when you guys got there haha but oh well... And it sounds to me like you did not receive my email? Ugh I've been all over the place lately! Anyhow, tomorrow the 18th will not be a good night for us because we are having a little Walden's Christmas party so next Thursday will work much better! Can we set that in stone? I'll be sure to actually show up the next time, I promise.

    Congrats on the RN&R! We are still on for this Thursday if you are up for it... 7 o'clock? However, I will not be able to be here, so I am going to ask Ben if he could take charge and you all can have some fun. I'm moving to WA Friday morning, so Thursday night is going to be a little hectic for me I'm sure... Good luck with everything. Keep rockin the coffee for Reno.
