Hi Dan, thanks for the pressed coffee. I thought it was delicious, and I have had a cold for two weeks and almost nothing tastes good to me lately.

My ears are burning. What is going on IN YOUR TOWN? I desire the fine espresso creations of EL BEIT, asap.

does the elbit remote mailbox service involve delivery (and meals?) (and possibly a missing contractor locating service?)

yo my man, im just tired of all, no enough baristi for my shop, no sig drink still, but i think is in human nature, or at least mine, to keep fighting and see how much pressure you can take...btw, i left idea of screens and iphone performance and this new one is more human, more minimal, more global, more me, ill have an ice table....

Anne MF Boatner

Yeah, I hear she is the official photographer of coffee. Definitely crazy.
Nope, I'm not actually working at murky anymore (as of yesterday at least). Big Bear it is!
Um so I keep reading about soup. This intrigues me greatly. If I move to new york city next fall to get some college in me, can i eat soup with you and your crew? Pretty please?

Anne MF Boatner

Hey next time you see Liz Clayton you should tell her to shut up.
Also tell her she's a NERD!

Anyway. I know Joe. I like Big Bear too. Yay visiting is fun.
Yeah get ready for some amazing soup. I like tacos. What's a taco tournament? I probably like those too.
Let's see what else could happen. Wheat products Wednesday? Tomato sauce Thursdays? Marshmallow Mondays?
USE YOUR IMAGINATION!

I wrote the article in Barista Mag. about the Atlanta Latte Art Comp. In that article I talked about how the other baristas were extremely encouraging and how I felt as though I was part of a family. You were top dog. You were so generous with your encouragement and support. Thanks. (sorry,... I'm kind of a mushy cheesy guy.)

Also,... your art is amazing.
