The past weekend was great. We traveled to the coast – namely… Astoria. I must confess though I have been to the Oregon coast many times I had only been in Astoria once before. What a great little city (oldest city on the west coast – older than S.F.) The reason for the journey was the grand opening party for “Street 14 Coffee”. Denise our client and former ABC student hosted an amazing Saturday event. Well over 150 showed up at the private party – with great food and a great band in the evening. The day was filled with Water Ave. Coffee doing pour over and Chemex tastings – along side Ninkasi Brewery doing an amazing beer tasting.
Now back in Portland – tying up loose ends. Getting ready to head to Southern Cal. Tuesday… for what I usually dub “Specialty Coffee’s annual family reunion.” The annual SCAA Event.
The week will be filled with lots of meetings – seeing great friends- Speaking- Trade show floor booth manning – Lots of sun… and did I mention a few double double’s animal style @ In & Out?
