Happy Birthday, Scoble
by peterbJust a quick note to say happy birthday to Robert Scoble who is 41 today, and whom I met tonight at the Pittsburgh Blogfest. A splendid time was had by all. Drinks were drunk, cake was eaten, and Cindy from My Brilliant Mistakes and I have an evil plan for holding a panel tasting of bourbon. Stay tuned.

Posted by Robert Scoble at January 19, 2006 01:01 AMOh, and I'm TOTALLY up for this bourbon panel!
Posted by Robert Scoble at January 19, 2006 01:21 AMI'm just wondering if I am still needed to be the comic relief, now that it's bourbon and not scotch.
Posted by Vanessa at January 19, 2006 10:07 AMThis bourbon panel is getting bigger by the minute. Excellent.
Vanessa, you are strictly required to participate. No excuse will be accepted.
Posted by Cynthia Closkey at January 19, 2006 02:58 PMPeterb, 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
I have not, in fact, tried Aldo yet. But I'll give it a whirl soon.
I'm up for the bourbon panel. Sounds like we may all need to contribute glassware!
Posted by Christina at January 19, 2006 07:37 PMI 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.
Bourbon is fantastic but why you have to congratulate the most self congratulatory shill/apologist on the whole damn internet is beyond me.
