About me:
Hi. My name is Ryan. I call Portland, OR home. Mainly because no other place feels like home. Right now I live in Los Angeles, California. To be more specific, Los Feliz. I love East LA. It's now what you would ever expect from a place that's very close to Hollywood. As the days go by, it's becoming more and more comfortable. I think I'll stay awhile. I work for an incredible company called Intelligentsia and we recently opened what is becoming one of the best cafes in the world. Making coffee is my career. Not just a job. I enjoy every minute of it, from the beans to the people. When I'm not working, I am typically blogging at GhostCoffee.Net. To even me out and keep me sane, I believe in the idea of balance. That without it life is chaos. I believe in clarity of mind, something that if I don't have, my head is spinning. I believe in God, and I believe that God cares. I also believe in love and that without it life could not exist. Friends and family are the most important aspect of life and we must take care of our own. Beyond that, there's not much else to say. Life is good, I don't have to be at work for another couple hours, and it's 85 and sunny... MySpace Layouts

have you ever googled intelligentsia LA? the reviews are so funny. some people hate the "femme boys." most think they are oh so attractive, haha. some people are too shy to enter cause the space is too open and light. some people think the coffee tastes like dirt. brent- i think one of the owners of albina said it is great. common denominator is that it's too expensive... and there arent any vagan pastries...

all said while i am eating my chipotle burrito and guac :)

so when I was in seattle, andrews brother in law was telling me about the yamaha music school... its something I'm thinking about doing to make some extra cash on the side this summer since I've been wanting to maybe take on a couple piano students.
anyway, he said that they apparently send you to LA for two weeks to train or something.... I tried looking at their website to get more info but it was a little confusing.

All in all, I'm writing to tell you that theres like a 5% chance I'll be in LA this summer.

hey ryan!
we've been in kirkland/seattle now for a few days. its been fantastic.
lots of good coffee.
we went to vivace and vita first.
vivace was great, vita was meh.
stumptown was good and victrola was good...
too bad you cant come up and meet us.
We may skip portland and vancouver....
I forgot my birth certificate so we cant go to vancouver anyway.
And there is just so much stuff to do in seattle, I dont want to feel rushed into trying to hit up all these places at one time... not to mention the cost of gas here. HOLY BUCKETS!!!!!!

I hope life is treating you well.

thats a bummer, but also pretty sweet news. I'm sure you'll be having as much "fun" as us....
and yeah, sam and I plan on being in Portland for a day or two.
Andrew has given us a small list of places to go and things to see but we are always up for adding more!
Got to soak up as much as I can while away from the NCU, if ya get what I mean *groan*...

man, lots of big things happening around these parts, wish I had time to tell you. I'll shoot you a message sometime soon and let you know about it.

Good luck with stuff ^_^

See you in MAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
