Barista Mag is heading east for Coffee Fest New York, er, um, New Jersey, but we’ll be hanging in the city in the eveningtimes, I’m sure. Ken’s staying on the home/office front, while our delightful art director, Jessica, and I will run Barista Mag’s booth (#410 yo), check out the competitions (Aroma, Millrock, Top Cup, Mid-Atlantic), catch up with old coffee friends, and meet some new peeps. And of course, we’re excited to see the burgeoning specialty coffee scene in New York. Cool.

Anyway, the more of us there are in New York (Jersey!), the merrier, right? So to encourage you to attend, I’d be happy to send you and however many of your staffers as you want free passes to the show (that’s $25 per pop you’ll save). Just email me at sarah@baristamagazine.com, and I’ll get them out to you. But hurry—they’re time sensitive, and need to be submitted by mid February.
