    Hey Jill, thanks for the recommendation. I'll definately look them up and see if I can drop by. Especially the West End Roasters. Do you know the name of the 24-hr coffee shop in Asheville? Lastly, as far as visiting Jason, probably Wednesday, the 7th.

    Thanks,

    Brendon

    Jill, everyone on this site throws around these abbreviations that I don't always understand...SCAA - please enlighten me! Here is my abbreviation: GYATA, which stands for Get Your Ass To Atlanta ;) Seriously though, I'll do what I can to make it to some of these events because there are some great people in the coffee universe that I need to meet. This is truly a new world for me, and I'm incredibly excited to have you pro's brewing me up some Whynattes. From the sound of it there are some bx folks rolling through Atlanta in early May, and I'll hopefully be there.
