11:32AM oak barrel aged sig drink from @tyler_stevens with fig gastrique – like a jeffrey morgenthaler cocktail at 11 in the morning

11:42AM @sampurvis up now – opens to a little classic soul, and starts with the sig drink – shocker

11:52AM very professional, workman-like…would be smithing metal or carving marble a hundred years ago

11:55AM @sampurvis this routine is like watching “memento”, or that seinfeld episode that’s all told backwards…

12:09PM @barista_alex – impressive and hustling through mic problems, audio problems, very professional

12:13PM orgeat, heavy cream, egg white, kaffir lime, “shake it into a frothy goodness” – @barista_alex with a kind of espresso gin fizz
