Enjoy Coffee Fest but don't eat or drink anything Chinese.

Thanks Matt, great idea! If anyone hasn't been to Coffee Fest yet, I totally recommend it! It was my first trade show back in 1994 with CoffeeTalk and I wouldn't miss one!

Right on everyone, good idea for a group!
So are we called Festers?
Have a Happy Halloween everyone!
I want to see costume pictures!

I LOVE COFFEE FEST!!! I had a total blast! It was the first time that I could really be around some geeks just like me! Even among the baristas that I work with I am a total dork and proud of it! :)

I enjoyed so much getting to meet people that I other wise only have seen through a small picture on the computer screen. I look forward to going to more and more of them, not just the one here in Seattle.

Next year I think it's a must that some mass concentration of baristas in one place needs to happen. perhaps an attempt at a world record or something. Most baristas in one place at the same time. I true statement of unity and expression of love for the game!

Looking forward to another Coffee Fest in Sept. 09 - what a GREAT event! An added bonus for me is viting family.

I didn't mean to insult, and Teresa made it sound like she was just doing dishes before adjusting the OP to clarify. And certainly if just touching the rag while wiping the wand is destroying your hands your solution is WAY too strong. -bry
