Fly from Seattle to Milwaukee. i have a lay over in Minneapolis and unfortunately not long enough to check any cafe out.Milwaukee:Alterra Coffee - Working with Scott LuceyMadison:Ancora Coffee - visiting with Ryan BaughnNot sure yet, I imagine I can hang out at my friend's cafe at EVP. I still am getting to know about EVP, my friend that I am visiting has been working with them for several years. They roast their own coffee and have some pretty nice equipment. If anything I have an opportunity to relax and check out Madison.Train from Columbus, WI to Chicago, ILChicago:The Italian Bar - bar time with Andy AtkinsonIntelligentsia - possibly a tour and cupping at the roastery with Michael PhillipTrain from Chicago, IL to New York, NYGimm!e Coffee - bar time at one of the locations with Mike? Not sure, perhaps with another rad baristaJoe: the art of coffee - bar time with Jonathan or again, possibly another rad baristaEveryman Espresso - visiting with Edmond and crewFly from New York back home to Seattle.I have contacted a lot of people and am looking forward to hearing from more. Because I am taking an extra day in Chicago I am a little worried I won't have enough time in New York and might end up moving my departure up a day from Madison. I am not entirely sure yet.Originally this all started off as a trip to Madison, plain and simple, that's it. But then I thought hey, I should fly into our out of Milwaukee, I want to visit Alterra. Then I thought well hey, you know New York is so much closer to me now in Madison than way over here in Seattle, I'll just jump over to New York.Anyways I can hardly wait and can't wait to make connections with people and learn new things. I am absolutely terrified of meeting new people and essentially putting my skills to the test! But it should be fun, I have extremely high hopes.oh, and I started another blog: anothercoffee.wordpress.com I'll be keeping people updated with my travels, discoveries and new connections!And on a side note, this blog is there too. I am going to start just blogging there following this blog.
