Hello Sarah,
I'm sorry to have had a chance to chat to you at the nationals. I was just bummed out at not having done too well in my performance - but hey, there's always next year. You did a really good job there. I'm hoping to try to squeeze in another out of region thing to try to do some repair to the old reputation. But we'll see you at one of these things. Bye, Sonja

sarah,
it was great interviewing you/meeting you through coffee video magazine at scaa. you're a gem. I am writing because I, in the midst of three jobs and moving into a house, let my subscription to bmag lapse (much to my shock and ebarrassment!). I was wonder if there's any way , when I renew, to get back issues?!?!

Quick question: Do you generate most of the content for Barista mag yourself or do you use freelancers?
