The bX traveling Darth Vader Project
Hi All,
I wanted to let you know that Darth Vader showed up today here at bX headquarters and is about to begin his fun filled life of traveling to bX member coffee shops/roasteries.
I want to write more about it soon when I have time but here is the gist of it.
Darth will spend this week here in Portland partying at the USBC, ABC School and maybe some coffee houses. After the festivities are over he will be sent to an undisclosed recipient who's coffee shop is listed in the bX "Coffee Shops" forum, or to someone who is active on bX. (Tony may be this first person as he is the inspiration behind the project.)
I will be also buying a journal that will go with Darth V so that his travels can be logged. Before sending him to the next place it will be required to post a picture and the journal entries here in bX. This book can also work as an autograph book of sorts, as we will try to get Darth V to all big industry events, and maybe even send him on his forst international excursion, leaving the WBC with an international competitor.
Tony and I discussed Coffee Kids somehow playing a role in this, and I am sitting next to Rob Tuttle here in Portland who thought it would be cool if we can maybe host Darth in a cafe for a week, with a donation jar or cards talking about Coffee Kids or other coffee charities.
More to come from Darth V this week as the USBC starts to formulate ...

Hey Coffee Kids,
Send me your address and maybe he an make a pit stop there to get brochures and other stuff loaded up in his travel box. He is still at Octane, but is ready for a move.
Thanks, would love to make this a Coffee Kids supportive deal, so let's talk.

Coffee Kids said:Hey Matt,
This sounds kind of awesome. We'd love to take part and if he ever wants to visit Coffee Kids office in Santa Fe, give us a headsup. Also, let us know if you need materials or anything. (and personally, as a proud Wisconsinite, I'd vote he gets to Madison, Wis., home of Chad Vader, as soon as possible. -kyle@Coffee Kids)

We could add some brochures and maybe put a coin drop in there that could travel with him.
Give Joey a call at 505-820-1443 or e-mail joey@coffeekids.org if you want to work out details.
Here's the address:

Talk soon and looking forward to it. Seems to be pretty good interest in the idea.

Fantastic idea Matt, Vader would have been welcomed openly and not without companionship in my old workplace in Vancouver from way back.
