Tomorrow.

I'm 100% 50/50 on the idea of me posting something new and exciting sometime tomorrow. I have to draft it in my head but, topics may include:

2010 WRBC

2010 SCAA Expo

2010 USBC

Slayer

Strada

Moving in with Baca

Moving in with Trubaca

Sick new shoes (2 pairs!)

Also, new secret development in my life and my career.

I should make this like a barista competition and just have people tell me what they'd like to read. Trust me, I've got sig drinks ready for each of these topics. However, they are all full of cheese.

Fuck, I'm funny.

See you tomorrow.

P.S. If I don't post tomorrow, I'll just say that this teaser was enough to cover for the last however long it has been.

Another quick post. Verve was featured in the November issue of GQ, where it has been dubbed one of the ten "best places to get your daily fix." Check it out here.

For now, I'm going to buy a battery to replace the dead one in my digital thermometer and syphon up some Ocaña.

"Blogs Die Hard"

Chris told me that about three weeks ago. It's true. I've been neglectful, and as a result, my blog is dying. Hard. So let me preface this post with two things: 1) Sorry. 2) I'm going to try to update this thing twice a week. Minimum. Fingers crossed. Alright. Let us begin.

EDIT: 3) Less spelling errors.

So a few things have been going on. One of the bakers from whom Verve gets pastries, Companion Bakers, also does work at the local farmer's markets. They've been expanding from selling just baked goods to also having a coffee service. I was asked to help out with their pour-over coffee bar, and I agreed to. This was the set up:
