hoffmann watch: day 21
June 23, 2007 – 9:54 amnever again will this blog wrangle with feelings of abashedment while floating hyperventilating conspiracy theories — because, it turns out, exactly half of the blogging, western-european-isle-based, road-tripping barista duo is, in fact, hooking up with the burgeoning intelligentsia juggernaut of global espresso duress! (scroll down to find the news.) you could say the predictions were a bit off … but also non-wrong!
please join this blog in lauding the uncanny prophetic abilities of reader mike “borg” p, and congratulating him on his new promotion: speculative CI pundit in residence.
and now we wait for hoffmann. (the good news: the roadtrip’s over, so he’s back to saying “whilst”!)

cool- now i can just start throwing out wild predictions, like say:
tonx will team up with ritual cofounder jeremy to start up an in-house roasting cafe with table service (think Metropolis meets Elysian room) where all the baristas are on roller skates.

My money was on James landing with Intelly because there was money and a like minded personality there but… then someone left and all things change. I don’t know if Jim7 is still north america bound now, maybe you should just ask him.
What is all the intelly commentary lately anyway? Has CI become a loathsome lacky of the muddy pearl mountain? Surely the murky waters of the fanciful third wave could supply more dubious muck worth racking?

i have asked him. that james, he’s being coy.
muddy pearl mountain? murky waters of the fanciful third wave? shaysh. i don’t think i get it. though there’s no concerted effort to over-concentrate on intelly. it’s just how it falls, lately. this blog is about how coffee intersects with real life, remember.
cheers.
