Hey Gang,

Just in case you were wondering where all the coffee events have been - it turns out they are all THIS WEEK. Thinking about going pro with your latte art skills? If you are the the Ayatollah of Rock ‘n Rollah, if your tulips are more like fourlips, if your hearts have legit arteries and ventricles, if the word “tul-setta” means something to you, then you might just be able to pay your rent from this week’s throwdowns:

Tuesday 1/17/2012 aka TOMORROW NIGHT: The first Tulip Tuesday Throwdown of 2012 hosted by the Providence Coffee Society, followed by New Harvest Coffee’s Invitational One-Armed Throwdown - not to be missed! -  See the post below this one for additional details!

Thursday 1/19/2012 - Head up to Boston for their first throwdown of 2012, starting at 7:00PM at barismo’s sick new space, dwelltime - more information here!

Friday 1/20/2012 - Back in Providence, our pals over at Blue State Coffee (the 300 Thayer location) are hosting yet a third throwdown! Classic format, $5 buy-in, which is good because by Friday you will be ready for a nice, relaxing, orthodox throwdown. OR WILL YOU? Probably. 8PM at 300 Thayer Street!

Saturday 1/21/2012 - For honestly the clinically insane, for those who are somehow not yet totally zonked out on coffee and coffee culture, for those to whom a six-hour round-trip car trip ain’t no thing - Coffee Common’s first event held in the USA is this week, and a bunch of Team New England is headed down to check it out. We will also be going to McSorley’s (obviously.)

See you soon!
