just in from incredible altie and scaa consumer member marshall fuss of la-la land -- a largish pic (a 2 min. download on 56k modem) of us speaking at last year's scaa convention in boston.

marshall's saying something funny about coffee, and i'm responding, based on no food, no sleep, and some incredible memories.

this year's conference is in april in atlanta. will you be there? once again, marshall and i will be speaking, and this time, i'll also be teaching a hands-on espresso how-to lab with amazing altie and consumer member jim schulman of chicago.

not to mention all the other events we're doing just for consumers like you, o readers. do think about coming -- it's the next best thing to having coffee at my house!

dear readers, will you be joining me there? i promise it'll be a blast!

finally, i got quite an amusing email from irish coffee guy hugh gilmartin, whose puckish sense of humor i just love.

remember him, long-time readers? i once anointed him my personal espresso savior. . .and he still has a place among my coffee retablos. . .
