Day two photos, folks. Enjoy!

La Marzoccos rule! Love pullin' the shots on a La Marzocco Jeanette Chan Jeanette takes a breather from a high paced Sunday for her, including covering the women in coffee events. Lever Machine A lever consumer machine from the floor (Jeanette snapped photo, no id on the machine yet) Bezerra This machine has the same guts as a Pasquini

Cups! I'm in heaven! :) Ghirardelli I'm lovin' the Ghirardelli sauces and chocolates. Good stuff! Karen and Tiffany Karen Foley (freelance writer) and Tiffany Howard (graphic designer) leaving the Congress Center Billy Wilson Gee, you'd think he made the finals or something... :)

CoffeeKids I gotta get by the CoffeeKids booth tomorrow - Jeanette snapped this photo. Wega A Wega Lyra, lookin' all shiny and stylin'. WICA Women's Coffee Alliance - they had a booth, they do good things - look for a feature article soon. Tall Girl! IS that Bronwen Serna, looking taller than John Sanders (left) and Kent Bakke (right)?

George Howell Another person I'm desparate to meet tomorrow - George Howell. Terry Z Terry Z of Espresso Parts Northwest Cmembers Tour Don Shoenholdt (blurred, blue suit) takes the CMembers on a tour of the show. Barista Guild They had a booth, they signed up dozens of Baristi. Rock on!

Chris Davidson Chris of Zoka mugs it up for the camera. Dawna Hughes Dawna Hughes of Cafe West working at the Isomac booth. Holding Court I had a bit of a minor, almost not there "shootout" with George Sabados (blue shirt)... but after he held court here. George is brilliant. George George, working a La Marzocco machine. The guy's in the upper echelon of espresso brilliance.

My Macchiatos I pulled a couple of macchiatos for George - he said, and I quote "this is the best Zoka Paladino (the bean used) I've ever had - brilliant work Mark". Made my day. George and Michelle George Sabados and Michelle Campbell await the announcement of the six finalists. Bronwen Jumps The first announced finalist, Bronwen Serna did a cartwheel, then ran towards Danny O'Neil (MC)... Upsies and then jumped up into his arms! Man, was she happy!

Phuong Tran Phoung was the second announced finalist. Billy Wilson Billy was jacked, pumped and super happy to be the third announced finalist. He too jumped up on poor Danny O'Neil! Heather Perry Heather was the fourth announced, and man, was she amazingly happy (heck, so would I!) Heather bows She accepts the crowd's cheers!

Ryan Dennhardt Ryan was the fourth announced Barista, he rocked and rolled, and he's a happy guy! :) Ryan He's congratulated by USBC reps. Kyle Larson Kyle of Zoka was the sixth (in no particular order) finalist announced. The crowd went nuts. He was surprisingly humble! Insturator and Jeff Insturator and Jeff Taylor go over the final judging details for tomorrow.
