Joel Klein will be visiting between the 12th and 18th of November; so Sat Nov 15 is a good time for our next get together.

Time, place and theme to be determined; the floor is open for suggestions, proposals and ideas.

The return of our official patriarch? I'll drink to that...

This is great! I can bring a Portaspresso Rossa HC and Rosco, Cremina, Faema Faemina, but I am not carrying that Faema Lambro, no way! :)

I'm having my patriarchal robe dry cleaned for the occasion.

Looking forward to seeing everyone. You've been greatly missed.

Please count me in for attendance.

Espresso/coffee wise: if needed I can bring my Alexia with PID machine, Super Jolly grinder and Pharos grinder.
Bean wise: I'll bring in Intelligentsia Sapsucker to get others opinion.

Non-coffeewise: can't go wrong with single malt scotch as fallback but depending on theme, I can bring appropriate ethanol (can't cook so will compensate with more ethanol).

Joel, we briefly met at Russell's home in 1/2013 for Chicago IX. I'd think you'd pick warmer weather to comeback to Chicagoland area :)

Jim, it looks like I cannot make it on November 15 after all.

The get together will be Saturday Nov 15 at my place, from 10am to 5pm.



Bring anything Joel will like! I'll have food, but extras always appreciated. Any an all interesting gear of of course; there will be something that's either ridiculous or world changing in the manual grinder department.

I've got a dessert, some brown goods, and some of the recently reviewed Bodka espresso for sampling.
