Format, formatting, formation….. of an idea

It’s super late an I am busily working on scholarship applications.  I am down to the wire, again and I can not wait to by done done done with it all!!!!  I can’t believe that I am busting out this post right now but things are so beautifully, so precisely falling into place in my life.  Somethings feel like I am moving in slow motion setting things in motion just on time while moving a long.  It’s like dragging your nubby little kid fingers along the bars of a fence when you were a kid, hitting every bar as you move forward, fast and slow, hitting everyone listening to each ping sound it leaves in your mind.  I am just struck by all of the things that I am doing now.  Things that I am setting up for myself in the future, things right now for tomorrow, the next day, this weekend, yesterday, all of it.  I psych myself out sometimes though….  always I am sure I’ll work on the procrastination.  And whooo hoo Blue Scholars and Step Cousins tomorrow night.  I can not wait to turn in my work, relax, read my book and enjoy some sweet sweet cider!   More details to come soon about the trips.  Again, another amazing trip, another ping so to speak for experiences, for the future. 

An Update about Spring Break

Fly from Seattle to Milwaukee. i have a lay over in Minneapolis and unfortunately not long enough to check any cafe out.  Milwaukee: Alterra Coffee – Working with Scott Lucy Madison: Ancora Coffee – visiting with Ryan Baughn Not sure yet, I imagine I can hang out at my friend’s cafe at EVP. I still am getting to know about EVP, my friend that I am visiting has been working with them for several years. They roast their own coffee and have some pretty nice equipment. If anything I have an opportunity to relax and check out Madison. Train from Columbus, WI to Chicago, IL Chicago: The Italian Bar – bar time with Andy Atkinson Intelligentsia – possibly a tour and cupping at the roastery with Michael Phillip Train from Chicago, IL to New York, NY Gimm!e Coffee – bar time at one of the locations with Mike? Not sure, perhaps with another rad barista Joe: the art of coffee – bar time with Jonathan or again, possibly another rad barista Everyman Espresso – visiting with Edmond and crew Fly from New York back home to Seattle.  I have contacted a lot of people and am looking forward to hearing from more. Because I am taking an extra day in Chicago I am a little worried I won’t have enough time in New York and might end up moving my departure up a day from Madison. I am not entirely sure yet. Originally this all started off as a trip to Madison, plain and simple, that’s it. But then I thought hey, I should fly into our out of Milwaukee, I want to visit Alterra. Then I thought well hey, you know New York is so much closer to me now in Madison than way over here in Seattle, I’ll just jump over to New York. Anyways I can hardly wait and can’t wait to make connections with people and learn new things. I am absolutely terrified of meeting new people and essentially putting my skills to the test! But it should be fun, I have extremely high hopes. I’ll be keeping people updated with my travels, discoveries and new connections!

a first is a first is a first!

When I was creating a playlist of music for the NWRBC this last fall I called one, another coffee and so finally here I am .  I am so excited to have my own blog.  It’s all a part of enormous plan for school and my contract trip I want to take in a couple of years.  I am already making connections with new, new to me, people in the industry and Chicago, and New York.  I am so terrified and exhilarated at that same time to travel and meet new people. And below you’ll see my new tattoos!
