    Hey man,

    thanks for letting me know... sounds cool. I've never heard of Ashville, but I've been to North Carolina once before. Seemed like a cool place to be. A welcome change from canadian winters. As it stands, I'm not sure what is happening with me. I did the central canadian barista champs and placed first, so I'm going to nationals in a couple weeks. After that, I'll be deciding my next step. But I'll keep you informed. I loved the site, seems like a cool idea. tell me more about your ideas!

    Hey Jared,

    I understand. It is the default category and many people don't realize to change it before posting. I can try to clean it up when I have time. Thanks for the feedback.

    The colder it gets here, the more I'm thinking about South Carolina. after my stint in Calgary, we should definitely talk seriously. You sounds similar to me in your ideology of coffee. And in general! I Put my academic career on hold for coffee, however I was going to U of T for philosophy, and playing music is essential to my being.

    Strange and exciting...

    Dude. I'm excited to hear about pulling your first shots! Sound delicious. When do you think thins will all come together. I'm planning to take a trip to somewhere in December. Probably NYC. And if I have time I might jet further south. Will things be worth seeing next month?
