Re: Celebrate the Bean - Melbourne 2nd March

Im in. Those poor judges

Im already resigned to failure, so my biggest worry is that if I try the crocs on, they might be so comfortable that Ill start wearing the things!

Ill have a scrounge... Im sure I can come-up with a really good training venue in metro Melb one Saturday morning.

LOL; if thats a reference to Veneziano, Im sure that wed be happy to host a training session. As long as you keep the coffex coffee well away from our grinder burrs ;P

Cheers,

Luca

Re: Celebrate the Bean - Melbourne 2nd March

Now I would enter if they made Crocs that were my size... $50 well spent... but I guess there is just no market for sizes above 16...
So my search continues for comfortable slippers/lazy peoples shoes for me

Good Luck in the comp fatboy & marty To be honest though, I doubt the non CSers will stand a chance :P
Anyway if I am free I will check out the CS display, sounds like it will be quite interesting.

This is what my email said.
Can you please mark your diary that I have allocated you for the first session to commence at 1pm on Sunday 2 March at the Main Stage at Waterfront City.
You will compete in the first group from 1:15pm - 1:30pm.

Re: Celebrate the Bean - Melbourne 2nd March

Exactly the same here, Marty - hope they have separate machines and not just a 2 or 3 group commercial (I dont like to share)

Re: Celebrate the Bean - Melbourne 2nd March

Couldnt be a shared machine surely.
We all need to do steaming for the 2 milk drinks. Trying to share and stay within a 15 minute window wouldnt seem plausible.

They say the machine/grinders will be Gaggia. To me that says its either home machines like the Classic, or full-on commercial machines.

Do Gaggia make a single group HX?

Re: Celebrate the Bean - Melbourne 2nd March

if its a knock out comp 1 of us will have to go .That means we cant get 1,2,3!
Someone else will have to enter.
M@ once you wear those crocs you will get addicted. They are so comfy. Dont know how good they are for your feet though but theyre great for fishing.

I can understand the attraction for fishing, but wouldnt your feet sweat in them out of water? I always wondered about that. Mind you, I find thongs uncomfortable ;D Some shoe fashions leave me perplexed. I was in town yesterday, playing tourist guide to some o/seas visitors (from Canada : they would have been suffering more than I was) dying in the heat, and there was a girl with hardly any clothes on, but sporting a pair of pink ugg boots.

[size=16]
So, who wants to participate? What ideas do you have for the display? What else should we do?

Id be happy to help, although about all I can think of being useful for is to hand out leaflets or something. :-[ But if you can think of a job I could help with, Ill be there.

Re: Celebrate the Bean - Melbourne 2nd March

Im sure you could teach me some things about popper roasting Judy, most people that come and see us have prob never seen a green bean!

Even if only for a social day out it should be a blast.

I wonder if it would be rude to ask one of the stalls to make us coffee with CS beans?


In fact, maybe Ill take a grinder too



Talk about a thorn among the roses... its all the CS ladies that are keen on having a bean filled Sunday by the water.

Re: Celebrate the Bean - Melbourne 2nd March

I was just going to make the same comment.

But Im here to tell ya! I aint wearing no bikini or waving a flag (like those women at certain motorsports!) ;D

Judy the crocs look ugly, but I have been converted.I used to laugh at other people wearing them until I was given a pair.Now I wear them around the house and in public as well ,as for fishing in them they have plenty of holes so your feet dry quickly .
