Forge Baking Company presents our first in a series of workshops. Intro to Coffee and Pour Overs will be an interactive educational 2 hour class with Brendan, our Coffee Trainer. Brendan will be covering the history of coffee; there will be a multimedia presentation as well as a coffee tasting component. The class will highlight pour over technique, as well as offer a platform for participants to make pour overs, and focus on things like grind settings, water, weight, and the timing of a pour over in order to yield a consistently great cup of coffee. Each participant will receive a 12oz bag of an offering from Intelligentsia Coffee upon completion of the class as well as a 10% discount on all retail items purchased that night.

It's a Facebook-votes award, but still kinda cool. The article also mentions that the owners have another location and will soon be opening a third.

Any idea why these bikes are here? I don't think the ABC Family production crew are responsible for this, as they've all packed up and left for the evening.
ETA 11/29/12 11:40 am: According to the counter staff at Diesel this morning, this was a prop for the TV show, and it was taken away within the last hour.

Hello, this is Jackie Rossetti from the City of Somerville with important information for the Davis Square area. On Wednesday, November 28th a film production company will be filming scenes for an upcoming TV show* at indoor locations in Davis Square between the hours of 6am and 9pm. To accommodate this event and for public safety reasons, parking restrictions may apply in some areas of Davis Square and in surrounding lots, including Day Street and Grove Street. Additionally, the vehicle travel lane will be restricted at the left turn lane from Highland Ave. onto Elm Street. Somerville Police officers will be stationed in this area to assist with any temporary detours. To reduce impacts on businesses, customers and residents, Resident Permit Parking in this immediate area will be relaxed during posted “No Parking” hours.
If you have questions or concerns on Wednesday, please contact Assistant Location Manager Ryan Cook at 617-763-7758.
* I asked Jackie Rossetti what the TV show is, and she replied: It’s an ABC Family pilot called “Terminales”.
(I wonder if this is why Diesel Cafe will close at 5 pm Tuesday and be closed all day Wednesday?)
ETA: added link to Mass. Film Office press release about Terminales

I sent a support request to the LJ Abuse Team about the community having an absent or inattentive maintainer, and LJ responded by appointing me as the new owner of that community. I changed the community settings to require people to be members of the community before they can make new posts there (as in

bag stolen from Diesel
May. 26th, 2012 11:41 am![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
There were plenty of things in there that would be valuable to people other than myself - like cash and an iPad. There was one thing in there that would be of no value to anyone but is extremely valuable to me and a real bear to replace, namely my (foreign) passport. So if anyone finds a discarded brown satchel (a tattered Kipling), or a discarded Latvian passport, or something along those lines, please, please pick it up and call me. 857-204-8727. I will be forever in your debt.
Yes, I have made a police report.

If your bike is attached to either of these racks, you should move it somewhere else tonight.
The corrals will return next spring.

coffee and community
Mar. 2nd, 2010 02:43 pm![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
I'm a student working on a project about baristas, indie coffeehouses and their relationships to the communities around them. So, I'd love to talk with baristas or staff at Diesel or Bloc 11 in Somerville who are willing to share their experiences over lunch or a hot beverage (I'm buying). I'm interested in stories or reflections about working and the connections to the area.
Email me at nameofdog AT yahoo.com if you're interested.

Top 11Davis Square Confessions
Apr. 14th, 2008 03:06 pm![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
Do you have any confessions? Perhaps later in the week I’ll feel perky and refreshed and post my top 11 loves -though it will be hard to think of only 11.
1. I’ve been secretly rooting for Kick Ass Cupcakes to fail, and I’m boggled that they still survive.
2. While I like McIntyre and Moore in theory, I never use them and won’t miss them.
3. I hate Mike’s, its terrible – even with the cheap beer, I don't get the popularity of this institution - I liked it better when they were crappier inside with the old signs.
4. Chipotle has won my burrito bowl dollars, I never would have seen that coming Anna’s! Anna Anna, please forgive me!
5. While I love Deisel, I’m going less and less now that the same 5 crazy people rotate ownership of the good chairs/couches and NEVER leave.
6. I don’t miss Someday Cafe, I liked it in theory, but it was a dirty filth hole.
7. I don’t miss the junkies in front of share group on Dover St (not that all of them were junkies), but I do miss the times they would interact with the Mormons.
8. I really don’t want to see Sacco’s close, but yet I never give them any business, and I was opposed to the Community Connections Center for no other reason than I thought it was a dumb name.
9. As fiercly opposed as I was to CVS opening, I now shop there all the time.
10. I want all bars except Joshua Tree to get a 2am permit!
11. Even though it’s a lame joke I still find it funny that Store 24 is not open 24 hours, and that Bread and Butter Konvience is, but has a weird name.

I just ran in to you earlier today (Sunday, Mar 30) at Diesel Cafe. Sorry I didn't get a chance to chat more. I'd like to remedy that.

Look for the gal dressed in black with the REALLY long red hair in back by the couches.
Good food, good drinks, and people getting together to chat, relax, and hang out before TGIF tomorrow. :)
