    James,
    That's cool. I'm thinking about heading back to Milwaukee in June, I'll stop in and check it out. Who's coffee do you use or do you guys roast you own? Anyways, thanks for accepting my friend request!

    we've fully mastered the single 16 oz. pint in a photo booth... No problem. Question is, do I work my way up by moving to a 20 oz. or 24 oz. or do I just jump to a double pint challenge?

    Soon enough the results will be online. Do look forward to Mike Phillips (from the Broadway and Mill Park Stores) to be posted in the photo group soon. He's been in LA for a few days...

    Steve and I are cupping tomorrow morning at 8:30. I don't know if you'll already be there working, but come by if not. I want to hear about ATL and how much you suck for leaving me here in MKE.
