So,

After a grueling 10 hour day, I passed my certification and will be judging this entire weekend at the WRBC. I'll be splitting my time between tech and sensory. Yeah, you heard it: Sensory judge. Why did they let me do that? I dunno, but its going to be fuckin awesome.

Also, my girls (Le Kill and Mariebee) and boy (CHRIS G SAY WHAT?!) from the 'Foot are down here, so I'm pretty much kickin it with them and Baca Nation the entire weekend. Jealous?

400 is a long drive inside a car.

But yep.

I'm down in LA for the remainder of the weekend. Lemme just say I was here maybe two minutes before I saw some hoe's get into it in front of my hostel. You can take the boy out of Sacramento, but you can't take the Sac out of the boy. Dammit.

 By the way, fuck I-5. The only thing that got me through that horrendous interstate is Mendo and The Clash.

Oh, and I also forgot my camera. But I'll upload hella pictures when I get back, and still have some updates throughout.

Repp it.

WRB 09 bitches

Yes, all of the rumours that you've heard are true: I will be straight reppin Temple Coffee at this years WRBC... AS A JUDGE!

YA HEARD?!

Pretty much, this entails 4 luxurious days of nonstop photos and updates. From me... maybe from other people too. Probably Tonx.

More info as I get it.

Why I fuckin love Sacramento

In a hash-infused walk today, I decided that I needed to make peace with my surroundings and town, as I've been having gnarly bouts of social anxiety the past two weeks (damn you!). I've come to the conclusion, after scouring Sacramento, that I love it.

Yup, ya heard right.

Every week, I'll give you motherfuckin reason's why Sactown is awesome, and why people should stop hatin on the 916. All I'm gonna say is: Mess with the 916, get a 187. Motherfuck.

And since I missed last week, I have two this week. Huzzah.

#1 We have badass orange trees. AT THE FUCKIN CAPITOL. And yes, they're damn tasty.

#2 Random pieces of art. This one, for instance. Can you see him?

More to come. Oh yes. More.

Papa Lucky and the Works

My bud Lucks and I went to go visit my boys at Barefoot Coffee the other day, at their Coffeeworks location. We pretty much hung out for 10 hours with Christian, who's my main dawg. Andy, Mama Kill, and Marista were in and out all day, with Andy being the only other person available for our killer flight of cupping, which included some fine ass Guatemala Nahuala and Intelli's Guatemala Itzamna. Oh, and yeah, we got vegan thai afterwards. Jealous much?

Bloom Grand Opening!

Today, the Flying Elia Brothers of Roseville opened shop! Located off Eureka Road, let me present, Bloom Coffee. Tasty as hell Verve Coffee, with pastries from Old Soul (no duh). Really liked what the boy did with the place, especially the reused palate wood floors! Hit em up at bloomcoffee.com
