murky graduates

as i continue to look through some old flickr pictures that were unlocked once i paid to renew my account, i find a lot of pictures of former murky coffee coworkers that have gone on to success at other cafes. a lot of these pics are quite old, so i hope we are all comfortable with the past.

first, we have ryan goodrow, now at ninth street espresso

this one is a two-fer, with nick kirby, also now at NSE, and daniel stearns, now proud owner of stearns coffee in huntsville, alabama.

also, there is charrow, now working for octane in the atl. (sorry about the pic, char-char)

on the left-hand side of this picture of us finally painting over the horrid mural at the capitol hill store is mandy catron, still part-time barista at elysian coffee in vancouver.

yes, folks. they just keep coming...
i found a couple pics from the summer 06 murky beach trip, first of katie carguilo, now working for counter culture up in nyc.

and here's one from the party bus, with zachary carlsen of NSE next to nick.

and then, there is aaron ultimo, shown here with wife elizabeth, who in about six weeks will be heading up to philadelphia to begin a new chapter and, eventually, a new shop.


phew. now that daniel has his own shop, we are going to have to begin filling out the family tree to see who went where and when and how they influenced this other person, etc. at some point, we'll change the world. for now, we are just a bunch of friends scattered all over the place.

tecmo super bowl and old news

after being sidetracked by video games as the free-time eater for the past couple of weeks, i found myself looking through some old photos. in the dead of winter and seeing jon buried in snow, i thought i'd throw this picture up from our visit to that part of the country in summer 06 to rekindle the hope for a market soon returning.

jill and i have been trying to determine where we will vacation this year--after traveling to france, italy and costa rica in 07, we are thinking of staying stateside--and we are thinking of maybe heading west again to those mountains.



i don't think we probably need much convincing...
