You mean you didn’t get your free Xbox 360? Oops, I HAVE SAID TOO MUCH.

Bourbon is fantastic but why you have to congratulate the most self congratulatory shill/apologist on the whole damn internet is beyond me.

I have tried the big red A, and find it ok, but a little too Star-bucky. The pressed chai is a little strange too. They also close too early on the weekend, 4 and 3pm.

Wander down the street, through the Twisty Little Passages, to the Vault, 3916 California Ave. PG review: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05234/557817.stm

The foam is better at La Prima, but I like the Vaults expresso better.

They may even have tasty, but expensive, fair trade stuff.

I’m up for the bourbon panel. Sounds like we may all need to contribute glassware!

I have not, in fact, tried Aldo yet. But I’ll give it a whirl soon.

Peterb, did you end up at Aldo Coffee, as did some other attendees?

Aldo is, IMHO, the most reliable place in Pittsburgh to get good espresso. Given your stated preference for La Prima, I was wondering if you now had second thoughts.

Cheers. –Tom

This bourbon panel is getting bigger by the minute. Excellent.

Vanessa, you are strictly required to participate. No excuse will be accepted.

I’m just wondering if I am still needed to be the comic relief, now that it’s bourbon and not scotch.
