Look at the date today.
What is it?
I'm writing this blog on Monday night, the 6th of August (8/6/07)

On August 16th (8/16/07) I'm leaving town.
Let me tell you why you should care.
I'm not going to be around to roast coffee for 10 days. I'm not coming back until August 26th. That's 8/16 through 8/26.

The DoubleShot will still be open. My trusty assistant Isaiah will be running the show. Store hours will be shortened as follows:
Open at the regular time every day (SHUT on Sundays), but SHUT at noon until I get back.
Hours of coffee
Th (16) 7a-noon
F (17) 7a-noon
Sa (18) 9a-noon
Su (19) SHUT
M (20) 7a-noon
Tu (21) 7a-noon
W (22) 7a-noon
Th (23) 7a-noon
F (24) 7a-noon
Sa (25) 9a-noon
Su (26) SHUT
M (27) Resume regular hours

Get it?
This is fair warning. The DoubleShot will be SHUT half days for the ten days I am out of town.

IF YOU ORDER COFFEE ONLINE, you need to place your order by the 13th if you want me to roast it before I leave. Any orders placed between the 16th and the 26th will definitely not get roasted and shipped until I return.

Plan ahead. Buy coffee beans.

So where am I going? I'm not really flying, that was a fantasy. I'm driving the Land Rover to Leadville Colorado for one more run at the Leadville 100 ultramarathon. I can already hear your questions.

Yes, it's 100 miles non-stop.
No, I haven't really been training.
Yes, it's going to hurt like hell.
Yes, I actually do eat hamburgers and cookies on the trail while I'm running. NOW you're jealous, aren't you?

After Leadville, I'll head to my favorite place on the planet (so far), Moab Utah. There I'll be recovering, riding my bike, reading, drinking beer at the Moab Brewery, and blogging about it all.

This is your official notice.
Check back early and often for more details.
