T exas Coffee People now has a group in the Barista Exchange community. Even if you don’t want to have anything to do with Texas Coffee People… you should at least join Barista Exchange. It’s such a great networking and community resource for such a small and budding industry.

I received this in a Barista Guild email today from Michelle Campbell.
If you were thinking about competing, but felt intimidated, or if you’d like to be a part of the competition but aren’t up to competing this year, there are still openings for you that need to be filled.
If you plan to come anyway, even if just to watch, you might consider becoming a part of the event.
It’s less than two weeks away.
Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and Girls.
The first EVER SCAA South Central Regional Barista Competition is coming. It seems everyone is becoming very excited.
I am personally getting very nervous. I just hope I have enough spare time to go around and meet with people.
The whole TXCP crew will be there (though I’m not sure about Reighlok.. he may or may not show up. I haven’t heard from him).
If you live outside of Dallas, but still want to go, there is a thread for setting up carpools to make the trek which can be found here.
I know La Cimbali will be there, as will Cuvee, AAH!, and I’m sure at least a few other coffee or equipment companies, including Big Train, Blend Tec, Boyd Coffee, Bunn, Coffee Eiland, Dr. Smoothie, Espresso etc, ESI, Espresso RMI, Faema, Fresh Cup Magazine, Grindmaster, Kerry Food and Beverage(parent company of Da Vinci Gourmet), Monin Syrups, Torani, and Vita-Mix .
I THINK I understand that there will be a Clover 1s present, so if you’ve never seen one up close, this MIGHT be your chance. (Very simple in function.. but brilliant in usability).
Those competing already know that Michelle Campbell will be there.
There is an entrance fee for spectators, and if you’re a non-member of the TRA, the rates are:
$15 per person until June 23, 2007.
On-site fee is $30 per person.
Driving Directions to the Convention Center are listed from every direction. Click Here(PDF) .
A map, if you prefer, can be found on Google Maps. Click Here(link to the map).
A list of suggested hotels (all three of them) can be found Here.
For those with a tighter budget, I suggest looking around the discount site of your choice and comparing difficulty of travel by either calling the hotel in question, or checking the Map linked to above.
I have no idea how the spectator seating will be set up, but I do know that the competition will be taking place at the Rising Star Stage. The top right hand side of the floorplan (flash) .
I hope to see a great turnout, as this is a huge step for Texas, as well as our surrounding neighbors sharing our region in the Specialty Coffee movement.
For more information, you can contact Mike McKim or Michelle Campbell via the official site.

SCAA in Long Beach
Who’s there?
I’m looking forward to seeing some pictures from those who are fortunate enough to have made it. There is a Flickr group specifically for that purpose.
Unfortunately, I am not among those people this year. Maybe next year.
Who will win the USBC this year? The semi-finals are afoot. Lots of familiar names in the list. Who will take the gold?
What’s more, what will this year’s “best new product” be? I wonder if there are any surprises this year. New products? Up and coming companies?
