End of Summer Blowout

Posted on September 7, 2007 by Mike

Over coffee at three different NYC cafes this morning (none of them our own), Ed from Grumpy and I decided it was high time to rally our crews for a get together. All working baristas are welcome to join us for a night of carousing over drinks other than coffee. Topics of conversation will include the difficulties involved in serving the masses, inter cafe politics, different methods of performance, trips to origin, seasonal affective disorder, negative people, and the state of the union. It will be a night of commiseration, support, and encouragement for all those gearing up for the upcoming change of season here in NY. Feel free to join us.

  • Sam i'm from Ithaca. They get more rain than Seattle there.
  • bah, it's true; New Yorkers don't know anything about SAD. In America, you have to put in time in the moldy Northwest to cultivate an appreciation for really low light levels.
  • boo! we are starting our drive on the 14th! let's just make a pledge for more nyc barista parties this fall?
  • our SAD stems from a thousand people coming into the shop every day ordering iced drinks. it messes with you Rich and not even Rudy can take credit for that.
  • Into it! Also into pre-Blowout beers!
  • Seasonal Affective Disorder? I always thought that was a Scandahoovian thing. NYers don't suffer from that crap unless y'all got soft since Bloomberg's been in. Rudy wouldn't take that.

    No kickball this year?
  • Something involving barrels of fresh fruit and bags of cash. Just kidding. I love Canada. My sister was born there. Maybe we can get a contingent up there for the festivities after all...
  • do I wanna know why?
  • i'm not allowed in Canada anymore.
  • why don't you all head up to the Canadian Barista Competition on the 16th and 17th, its shaping up to be a nice little gathering. We can discuss all the same things!!
  • Reggie
    Does Spuyten Duyvil serve the Kaffinator?
  • funny you should ask Tony since that's where we took you. Wanna come?
  • Spuyten Duyvil 359 Metropolitan Ave. Brooklyn, NY. September 17th @ 8pm. Bring your drinkin goggles and rubber suits for oatmeal wrestling. Maybe not but this should be a blast! See you there!
