Good to see that, since my last incarnation here, Stock hasn't changed a bit. If you're really interested in the extremes, check out the recent GQ article about the "Christian Exodus." I think the website is Christianexodus.org. I have to hand it to them for giving it their all. As for Blue Bottle, they rock, but give Flying Goat Coffee a chance. . .ranked number one espresso in nation two years running. . .I'll have the owner send you a pound of whatever you want if you're curious.
I have no idea whether it's a goer or not, but it seems to me like it could be, and we've more or less started in Sydney as though it IS a goer.
Anyway, thoughts/reactions welcome.
