Patrick's performance Sunday at 12:50 pm

So Patrick is on tomorrow at 12:50 pm. It is pretty exciting. There are 25 competitors tomorrow for the semifinals. Tonight Patrick and I are going grocery shopping and rehearsing his performance. Although there are a lot of parties to go to, we are all business, something like that. Patrick had a practice time today and he went over his espressos and single caps. He is looking good and is facing some of the best baristas in the country tomorrow. I think he is going to do good. You can watch the competition on a live feed or you can go to www.scaa.wordpress.com and go to the live feed. They have had a little trouble with this over the last few days, but hopefully have the bugs worked out for tomorrow.

Friday at USBC

Hey everyone. It has been a fun time. I have gotten to see a lot of people from El Salvador that I met when I was down there in February. Patrick is doing great! He has a practice time tomorrow at 3:00 but doesn't compete until Sunday. You can watch the competition on a live stream at it works pretty good. We will announce Patrick's competition time on Saturday night when the schedules is posted. Patrick is sipping on Martinis and sitting by the pool without a worry in the world.

Clancy performed this morning at 9:00 am and did a great job. There is a good chance that he will move on to the semifinals.



There are 5 La Marzocco FB-80 Espresso Machines at the competition. We get two of them for our new location on Guadalupe. So we haven't said much about our new location but it is happening fast. These machines are beautiful.

We are here! Minneapolis

Hey everyone. We are at the SCAA Annual Conference. Patrick, Clancy, and I are hanging out at the hotel right now. We are waiting for Dan to get done with judges training for the competition. It is pretty exciting, but we are just waiting right now. Clancy competes at 9:00 am on Friday. Patrick doesn't compete until Sunday. I will try to keep everyone updated.
