So you'll be ...Sounds like a good time all around.<br /><br />So you'll be competiing? The experience you describe running the workshop sounds very similar to my competition experience. The routine I rehersed and had commited to memory evaporated on stage. It is a different mind set, one of performance instead of routine repetition. I was forgetting to tamp during my set up grinder dial in time. That is not an issue of practicing the technique, but practicing in front of an audience.<br /><br />These things can be both affirming and humbling at the same time. There are so many extremely experience and talented and knowledgeble folks out there, but one can also see how far one has come up in the game.<br /><br />I very well may be seeing you at the SCRBC. My new job may send me out there to represent. I hope so anyway.<br /><br />Take carePhil Proteauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11101021457350916430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24215845.post-27862768937120490832006-12-30T18:59:00.000-05:002006-12-30T18:59:00.000-05:00In regards to the baristi from Medici, what you sa...In regards to the baristi from Medici, what you said is pretty much what I had figured was the case. I wasn't too worried. <br /><br />You're right, my g/f felt very out of place. I think it was better that we left then. If I were there alone, I would have stayed for the whole thing, but I was very glad she was willing to come along. There were some sections I would have liked to have been there for. <br /><br />I feel you on the time issue. By the time I felt like I had made any progress at all, it was time to switch. <br /><br />I agree that the jam went well. I didn't hear any complaints either. I also didn't hear any positive feedback aside from what Aaron told me well after the fact. It made it difficult to know how people felt about what I had to say. Especially when most people weren't very outspoken.Jason Haegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16462315547734384326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24215845.post-68999189416808125822006-12-30T18:46:00.000-05:002006-12-30T18:46:00.000-05:00Hey Jason,

I hope that you didn't get the impression that Mike, or I or any of the barista from Medici didn't want to talk to you, but truth be told we all know each other pretty well and it can be difficult to walk up to someone and start a conversation.<br /><br />I'm sure in the future we all will get to know each other better. Honestly I was sad to see you leave at lunch, but wasn't surprised as I noticed your g/f didn't seem to be very into the whole coffee thing.<br /><br />In the espresso workshops I taught the first one with some of the lessor experienced people and we went through the basics for the most part it went really well and people asked some good questions.<br /><br />In the second one, everyone had a fair amount of experience so Mike moderated a discussion about different dosing techniques and we played around a little bit. I do wish we had a little more time for each group though.<br /><br />Overall I thought the Jam went really well, and didn't hear any complaints.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01223576384258973278noreply@blogger.com
