City to City Throwdown: Milwaukee vs. Chicago

[Ryan Mason]

Hey everyone

Here are some photos from the Milwaukee vs. Chicago throwdown this past Friday. It was hosted by Alterra on the Milwaukee side. Thanks to Scott, our gracious host, for letting us invade the training lab for the night.

Thanks for posting about the Ryan.
Also check out the Barista Guild blog for updates on events like this in the future as well as the ChicagoThrowdown flickr feed as well as the MilwaukeeThrowdown flickr feed.

If anyone was watching online I'd really appreciate critical feedback, no matter how rude it might get.
I'm attempting to box up a basic recipe for city vs city throwdown, hoping that we (BGA & all) can the the catalyst for communicating events with the goal of getting more regional events to start popping up all over this giant USA.

Technology is clearly the biggest bump in our road. Making sure everyone knows how to stream live and stream something that is going to be watchable to the general public is crucial. There are a lot of details to smooth out, that's for sure.

Thanks again Ryan for posting this. Hopefully you can expect more to come.
To be expected: Seattle v LA and Milwaukee v Ypsilanti.

Stay tuned....
