Day One: Canadian Barista Championship

Well the day started early, too early, as Chad thought we needed to be at the venue at 8 am.  We were out too late last night, and the morning came way to fast.  Nonetheless, we pushed on, and spent the day setting up the comp stage with Les and a few others from Italy.  By around 2 pm a good group of the crew had gathered.  The machines were dialed in and the coffee started to flow.  Chad and I finally got to eat around 6 pm, both famished, and then called it an early night.  Chad is up number one in the order and the comp is scheduled to start at 10:30 Eastern time.  So if you have time, log onto Ustream and watch Chad lay some smack down.  Seriously, it is all up to the judges now.  We can only hope for a good outcome.
