Dear Mr. Wiggles,

Boo... Hiss... I got food poisoning my first night here.

I like Cleveland much better.

Till next time...

Hi Wiggles or is it Mr. Wiggles....
I work with Devlin who just returned from your fair city. He raved about all the nice folks at Phoenix so thanks for that.
If you are interested in attending the Mid Atlantic/Northeast Barista jam let me know and I'll shoot you some more detailed info.
Thanks,
Gerra

Hey wiggles,

I would offer for you all to crash at our hotel.That could be dicy but i feel darring enough. Mabye they would provide a cot? I think that one that we are staying in is like $60 a night or something. I dont know anyone that lives in easton that could help out i dont think. It might be worth sending Troy a message. One other option is that we could alternate between the hotel room and sleeping in my car. That has its own charm I think. If it were in Providence we wouldnt have to worry about any of this!

Welcome to Chicago. I'm all about vagabonding baristi. Come up to The Brothers K Coffeehouse. 500 Main St. in Evanston. If I'm working (very likely), then coffee will be on me. All I ask for in return is the down low on coffeehouses across the US.

listen wiggles, maybe you've seen the picture of me on reg barber's personal flickr page? I don't know. Maybe you haven't.
Well i just wanted you to know that you can put it next to the bmag picture in your anne boatner shrine. I think i'm even wearing the same dress.
i guess i could give you that dress. or let you borrow it. you can practice your impersonation and stuff. maybe you can compete for me?

Bummed we didn't get more hangtime, but life sucks so what else can you do? WE'LL HANG OUT NEXT TIME!
