    Glad to see that you made it home safely. I had a great time at the workshop. It kinda felt like the end of The Breakfast Club when we left.

    Keep in touch... See ya in DC for Coffeefest?

    the breakfast club indeed. word. so, at least stephan and myself from phoenix are heading to the march jam. i assume will have a chance for more marathon shot pulling and beer drinking sessions again.
    do you know anything about alternative sleeping arrangements for the easton jam? we're looking for couch/floor suggestions.

    thanks dude! i'll talk to stephen and get back to you, if you let us crash on your floor we could help defer the cost. obviously thats way less punk rock than crashing in your car, so maybe we should just do that.

    Hey Devlin,
    Great job, and thanks for the coffee. Ironically, I have two espresso machines at home and neither works. I will gift some of it out to a friend, and bring the rest to a shop that will let me make it on their set up.
