I thought that I should move this to a completely new topic heading.
I'm offering our home/kitchen for a gathering in late February, and am suggesting Saturday, Feb. 27th as a date. There are a couple of caveats: I'll be recovering from cataract surgery from the previous week and will basically be operating with one eye, unable to do any lifting. Also, I need someone to organize and coordinate the event. I will purchase beans from Cafe Luce and Savaya, two of our local roasters.
What's the interest level?

Haven't seen you since we cupped at Intelli in Chi-town many moons ago.ilVecchio wrote:...suggesting Saturday, Feb. 27th as a date... Also, I need someone to organize and coordinate the event. I will purchase beans from Cafe Luce and Savaya, two of our local roasters.

27 Feb? I will be in the air from MSP to TUC at that time.Headed to Bisbee. Could make Sat, 5 March. Would suggest just meeting up at a Tucson cafe? Crave or Savaya?
Just an option -- needn't plan around me if others find 27 Feb better.

March 5th works for me. My house has the advantage of multiple machines and grinders. Certainly we could follow up at Savaya after a lunch break.
The Bisbee roasters are roasting quite dark.

In for March 5 and your place. Kind offer. No need to go to Savaya afterwards.
Bisbee? I will have my own stash and some tea which will be aboard.

As far as I'm concerned let's make it March 5, and see what develops.
I have such fond memories of the time at Intelligentsia when we were all tasting for their proprietary blends. A few weeks earlier, I had tasted my first properly pulled shot at Cafe Italia in Elmwood Park. That's where I met Jim Schulman. I will invite him to join us.

Cool. I met Jim at the Intelli cupping. They put a Peru on the table that was "meh." Jim looked at me and I looked at Jim. We were really surprised at it. 84 if I were generous.ilVecchio wrote:...That's where I met Jim Schulman. I will invite him to join us.

Yo, Pete! You are making the drive. Great.dumpshot wrote:I am in for March 5th. Be good to see you again, Dave...
My brother-in-law from the White Mountains is in as well (Gaggia Baby). Sounds like we have a meet-up.
Oh, catchers and pitchers report in 6 weeks. Life is good. Year of the Twins <sigh>.

Thanks for the offer to host, Joel!
I really want to attend, and was planning to, but I might have a conflict that first weekend in March. Of course it's the only conflict on my calendar so far this year... It sounds like the 5th works best for most though, I'll keep an eye on this thread and post if plans change.
