well, dang
October 12, 2006 – 7:40 amit’s not just that billy’s scintillating signature beverage from last year’s u.s. barista championships got ripped off by a euro poo-producer. it’s that coca-cola now impudently robs him of this year’s concoction before he can even compete! “effervescence” indeed.
isn’t it enough that everyone’s favorite production-barista underdog gets called “heavily tattooed” every time he appears in gushing, high-profile enterprise pieces on the cultural relevance of rock-star baristi? now this! why, it’s enough to make a guy take his blog private.

I am not even sure what I just saw on coke’s website. I left a little confused. They sell this stuff now right? Maybe I should run down to the 7/11 and pick one up.
As for my sig. drink this year, you’ll have to drive up to ptown and NOT video tape it yourself!
It’s different, exciting and looks a lot like the picture on the right side of your blog.
I hope I can pull it off.

I am looking forward to Billy’s drink - really curious.
Though as for the Espesso - that was back from a few years ago. It is really horrid….

espressoballs? groovy!
I concur that the ‘espesso’ stuff is nasty- it had a sour chemically taste. The best thing about it was the little spoon with a hole in it. My morals barely kept me from lifting one to make into some supergeek bling.

billy: it’s real. it’s on a billboard in my town.
you have no idea how much i’d love to get out to portland.
i’m envisioning more of espresso ropes suspended in another substance. eh? are YOU gonna video tape it?
underdog, underdog. (alright, alright)
