Unfortunately, press passes do not include admission to Symposium, but I'll be sure to hit up some of the lectures, visit with Randy and get more dirt on the latest in pressure profiling. Keep the ideas coming!

I enjoy working the booth because I get to meet lots of new people and put faces to the insults folks I communicate with online.
My only regret is that between working the booth and walking the floor for my website, I don't have time to attend any of the workshops or symposiums. I hope the HB get together happens one evening. It would be fun if my feet can hold me up at the end of the day!

Ohhh!! I have a feeling I know what Hottop is working on.. if Im right, and I may not be.. Sweeeeet. Definitely looking forward to more on this..
Really, I WANT to see the new Linea. In all its lovely glory. I love the linea, its easily one of my top 3 favorite machines, so Im VERY very excited to see what they do with it.
Basically Id like to see everything that La Marzocco is doing.
Past that, I really like what Randy does, shows off new cool products that might otherwise get overlooked. So, since we have more people going and purposefully bringing news to us.. In general, lets see all the new stuff!

^^^ Chris, I'll look out for that grinder, but the vendor doesn't seem to be listed as an exhibitor yet. Wonder if they'll be featured at someone else's booth?
