obscure spro goes glossy
February 27, 2008 – 3:16 pm
spro purveyors to whom we kow-tow — two of them — get the full feature treatment in the new issue of imbibe magazine. just desserts for hinterlands coffee laborers everywhere, if you ask this blog … but particularly for the barista-poet and greenville’s hudgens. we’re deeply apologetic for marring their foray into the kleig lights by being quoted. we blame the esteemed author!
…
p.s. actually, the march/april issue makes a handy layman’s primer to the third-wave coffee pecking order, no? there’s the adoring, double-truck photo spread of the ubiquitous nick cho’s face — from multiple angles! — the interior feature art involving perennial barista competitor jon lewis and his truck, a subsection introducing hudgens to the world, and just over a graf of riffy supporting material from your bloviating blog.
it’s like a specialty coffee meta-narrative in one glossy issue!

For the record: I’m sooooo embarrassed.
And gawd I hate those photos they chose.

Nick, you make a great centerfold.
Specialty coffee meta-narrative, never thought of it that way. Thanks!

Love the shots of Nick, made me chuckle.
Might see if I can read someone’s copy whilst I visit, as the magazine never really justified my subscription (as an non-US coffee professional - I am not saying it is a bad magazine, just not right for me at the moment though perhaps I might subscribe again through the company….)

i’m a demanding mag subscriber. and ‘imbibe,’ i’ll say, has my attention.
siobhan: nice work. more blogging!

Siobhan et al., just to be clear, I hate every photo of me in the history of the world. Flattered and embarrassed. And horrified.
I hope people don’t cancel their subscriptions at the sight of my weak-chinned, two-headed totem!
