burning in and out of PDX…

Monday, January 21st, 2008

A long drive to Portland last night, down… back to Oly almost as I reached the bridge, just as I was smelling the Espresso that I would have the folks from Albina Press make for me (forgot something, one of the reasons for going to PDX in the first place… Ok, so we forgot the Cello we were dropping off with the Tour Van, Mira’s crew would not have been happy at all, for a band without their instruments in no band at all). …and then back to PDX again.

Alas, woke this morning a few blocks from Extracto and got an Espresso from them (they were top on my list for this morning). Currently serving Del Sol (Vita’s Blend), looking to start roasting there own soon: it was nice, no complaints, it was like Chocolate-Cherry Water. Sweet, delicate, lighter bodied than I prefer, but no complaints, served right about an ounce in volume.

I hope I did not come across as rude for my lack of excitement to the news of them having Vita’s Del Sol, until now it has never been so good. Could be most of Vita’s Espressos have been served to me at restaurants, and we all know how that can go.

…and back to Oly again.
