Bingo.

I might suggest a gentle day for a broad group and then a day-long crawl while you guys are here for the hard core.

I think Press has to be one of the shops for sure. They have been better than most I have visited. Last year the last two were bummers. Let's try to do better. Also we should decide if this coffee only or we want to have a lunch as well.

All this subject to how Omicron is playing out as well.

Certainly would love the Tucson dates as I live in Tucson. Driving is getting tiring for me.

Hey everyone!

Just seeing this thread. I would love to hook up with the group. I'll fill out the survey and clear out my pesky calendar.

Happy New Year!

Press works. Lunch would be fine, thinking it would be a day when TomC/Yakster were there. Omicron? Why the coffee powers will wrestle it to the ground and it will clear for our time together.

It's on:

Date: Monday, Feb 21
Time: begin ~ 9:30a
Location: Press Coffee Roasters, 10443 N 32nd St, Phoenix

2nd ventured stop on the route to coffee-nirvana
(Fluid) Time: 11.00a-ish
(Fluid) Location: Lost Dutchman, 12 N Center St, Mesa

Lunch, tbd at time of second location. We can work it out. I am in favor and would love a plate of enchiladas w/platanos.

Lost Dutchman's lever, a Victoria Arduino.




(Read on if your are still with me). If Tom/Yakster show up, I have whole day Monday.

Comments invited. I selected Monday as most can attend then. I selected Press in that it's one of CBBs faves; that shop is equidistant to Mesa shop as the EBV location. I chose the Lost Dutchman because they have a lever per John, RC.

Please post here if coming. I will keep a running list.

I won't be able to attend unfortunately. I fly out that morning to balmy Minneapolis for a business meeting. Super bummer.

Bring your overcoat. It has been one heckuva January.

It's doubtful that I'll be able to attend this year either.
