Just curious to see if anyone here at HB is going to the Great Lakes Regional Barista Competition or Chicago Coffee Fest. I will be attending both and each will be my "first time" - I'm also signed up for the GLRBC Judges Certification training which is taking place at Intelligentsia's roasting facility. It's always great living in Chicago and being able to get fresh beans directly from Metropolis and Intelligentsia, but these events make it even better! If there are any other Chicago based HB's planning on attending, maybe we can all meet and chat a bit this weekend.

I'll be there, as will Abe.

Hey cool Jim Abe anybody else please make sure to stop by the 1st-line booth and introduce yourselves
Jim and myself will be exhibiting.
Most people know me online but have never meet me.
It should be awesome to meet you guys.

Hi Jason,

I knew Jim would be there; it'll be great to meet you as well.

Jim,

Details on when you'll be there? And, can I get in?

We're just back from Mexico where there were some good roasters, and many commercial lever machines.
