SCAA 2008 Report...

2 is the loneliest number at an SCAA show it appears. Espresso Parts traveled very light this year. Terry admirably stayed home for his son's 16th birthday and missed the only SCAA I've known hom to. I thought there was little to no time to accomplish all when there were three of us, but two of us... yikes!

Anyway the USBC finalists are....

Nick Griffith, Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea

Pete Licata, PT’s Coffee Roasting Company

Chris Baca, Ritual Coffee Roasters

Heather Perry, Coffee Klatch

Kyle Glanville, Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea

Drew Catlin, Ritual Coffee Roasters

Congrats folks.

I was finally able to upload a few of my photos. My highlight was playing with Greg Scace's 100-400mm usm L series Canon lens. If you make it to Baca's Specialty drink you can see what a lens like that can do. Thanks Greg! I'll be saving my pennies.

For true up to the minute SCAA blogging check the Live SCAA Blog Site. They are doing a fantastic job. Apparently we leave tonight as soon as we pack up after the show. We'll miss on of my favorite events... The Roaster's Guild wrap up party but I get to see my dog tonight.
