Ah yes, bees knees! Good call... Not sure if I'll make Portland to watch, but I would definitely like to... Might try and make Vegas CF in June though. Myself and a few others are working on stirring up a "barista bash" here @ Coal Creek inviting baristas from surrounding states, I'll keep you && everyone posted . . . Good luck to you and the rest in OR.

Hey Greg, thanks man. I still probably owe my success at getting into the finals partially to you rocking set tunes that motivated me during my prep time. Hopefully some day I can get out to taste some shots at your shop.
