Fighting BOBFEST
Posted by mikemiller at about 4pm on Domingo Septiembre 14, 2008
Fall must be right around the corner - because another Fighting BOBfest has come and gone -- this year was the best yet .. This was the first year I have been really prepared to serve coffee to some 5000-10000 people ... I went up the night before and set up the brewer and got hot water in 10 -5gal cambro hot beverage dispensers ... Bodhi and I camped out in the van and at 5 am I was up and brewing.... success -- I had 30 gals ready by time the gates opened and we never got behind --- I hasn't always gone so smoothly -- sometime get a couple of beers in me and I can tell you some of the horrors of years past ... -- HIghlights of the day included : Phil Donahue's talk - check out his new movie , Cynthia McKinney - I really wish Sarah Pallin wasn't so F'n scary , cause I would love to vote GREEN... Also seeing the expression on Ralph Nader's face when Bodhi asked him if he wanted a ride in the Just COffee cargo bike .. and getting to speak with him briefly - I thanked him for the sacrafices he has made over the years trying to get us to fight for our democracy .. -- -- HERE ARE SOME PICS
See you next year
..I live in SW WI (not a local), drink your coffee purchased at a local co-op!
My friend who lives in Milwaukee and loves your Bike Fuel called me up this morning saying he cannot find it and was going to send me money to send him some,.. I laughed at him then sent him the link for your site and was myself ecstatic to find everything you have on offer here.. from fantastic coffee.. the prices you pay (To the growers!! Seen Black Gold and it changed my life even further then it was changed) and information regarding Fighting Bob Fest!
Which I have never heard about until a listener to the HEAD ON radio network based out of West Virginia and heard online. Wrote in and told me about Bobfest... Strange how I get that echo, Sorry for the long rambler, I just get excited when the strings of life show their connections.
Keep on Keeping on!
