Hi Patty,
My dream is to open my own coffeehouse, and it looks like you did it. Any advice you could give me to set me on the right path would be much appreciated. Step by step directions would be even better : )
Take care,
Amber

Hey, thanks! I just went to your myspace, very cool. I need to put some new pics up, all of those are from before we got open and now its coming up on our first year anniversary.

Cool myspace page - you guys are having too much fun :)))))

Hey Patty! Another Dragonfly! I've been open 6 months now, and haven't been around this website for awhile...now that I am getting into a groove its good to be back and see what my fellow baristi are up to.Great to network with other women/owners/coffee lovers...your place looks great.

it could be a good way to re-connect with some of those folks, if you have lost touch with any...and broaden your scope with new friends and ideas. Ultimately the same sense of comradery and fun is there at any competition (of course there is a bit of added nervousness from the comp., but it doesn't usually weigh down the rest), and of these are people in your region, so you have a common interest and the potential to learn new things, which is jsut as important and exciting, as everyone has always been open and willling to share.

It would be good if you could even swing by to watch for a day....not sure how far way that is for you????
