<p>The big strong top winners for Natvia&#8217;s <strong><a href="http://sendmetovienna.com" target="_blank">Send Me To Vienna 2012</a></strong> are in like Momotaro denim. This coffee competition social media event features a grand prize booty bump of an all-expense-paid vacation to the fabulous and mysterious Vienna, where chosen selected members of the glitterati will attend the Wonderful World of Coffee Event Programming and the unforgettable (trust me, I tried) <a href="http://sweetfantasyparty.com" target="_blank">Sweet Fantasy</a> after party.</p>
<p>First grand prize went to quite the <strong>CAFE OWNER</strong>:</p>
<p>Look everyone, it&#8217;s Yuan Ying, from Beijing. Unlike a lot of the SM2V contestants, Yuan Ying placed high without the help of Facebook, because Facebook is absolutely illegal in China. He&#8217;s been making coffee since he was a child! I peered into my Miss Cleo Brand Crystal Ball and can now reveal that Yuan Ying will walk the WCE red carpet in an Alan Jeffries gentleman&#8217;s cape, Shape-Ups by Sketchers, and a vintage chenille veil. Work!</p>
<p>Hold on, I&#8217;ve got to update my current status: Randy Bodum is confidentially devastated that <a href="http://www.sendmetovienna.com/397-Gustavo-Martin.html"> Gustavo Martin of Venezuela</a> didn&#8217;t win. Maybe next year? Randy&#8217;s got a little time between Sweet Fantasy and my next cruise ship gig, so maybe I&#8217;ll just scoot over to Caracas? </p>
<p>Second grand prize went to the <strong>TOP GROUPIE</strong>:</p>
<p>Ooh, what a category. The drama. The intrigue. The lead changes. But now that the smoke has cleared and the dust has settled, the winner is <a href="http://www.sendmetovienna.com/602-Jim-Connolly.html">Jim Connolly</a>, a machine handyman and <a href="http://sprudge.com/a-cavalcade-of-providence-throwdown-flyers.html">post-modern promotions artist</a> from Providence, Rhode Island &#8211; &#8220;The Land of Rhody Fresh!&#8221;. Jim Connolly&#8217;s SM2V profile clearly states that she&#8217;s just &#8220;some dude&#8221;, but evidently she&#8217;s some dude that&#8217;s more than willing to give a little claw scratch in direction of that ginger dream bro Brian W. Jones! Meow! Ladies, there&#8217;s plenty of spa time for us all. I&#8217;ll provided the cucumber slices!</p>
<p>Third grand prize goes to this <strong>TOP ROASTER</strong>:</p>
<p>Perhaps a little TMI, but I must confess &#8211; before bed every night, I would light a candle before an InkJet digital print-out of <a href="http://www.sendmetovienna.com/600-Christopher-Noseworthy.html">sChristopher Noseworthy</a>, and ask my magic 8 Ball if she was going to win. Apparently I should have lit two candles, because the winning roaster is Wen Yong Huang from Wo De Cafe, a shop and roastery in the Southwest China city of Chongqing. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chongqing">Wikipedia says</a> there are seven million people there and its sweeping landscape looks like <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/SkylineOfChongqing.jpg">something Oscar winning cinematographer Wally Pfister dreamed up on a soundstage in London.</a> Wen Yong Huang, a sincere congratulations. We&#8217;ll see you and your +1 on the dance floor in Vienna.</p>
<p>And your fourth grand prize goes to this <strong>TOP BARISTA</strong>:</p>
<p>I am barely containing myself. I feel like I could scream, cry, break things, and bake a cake all at once. Why? Because the winning barista is Kyle Wilson, of Toronto&#8217;s Te Aro Coffee Roasters. <strong>Kyle certainly seems to have his priorities in order.</strong> According to Kyle&#8217;s profile, &#8220;work is 90% of my daytime activities, with the other 10% going to running, eating, and making origami.&#8221; The result is a lithe, lissome, supple runner&#8217;s body; he&#8217;s like Louis William Tomlinson&#8217;s Canadian older brother (with Harry Edward Styles&#8217; lips), and Randy just can&#8217;t get enough. Look at Kyle <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&#038;v=Dk3SLUVYijc#!">lick up</a> at that coffee! Oof, is it time for Vienna yet? </p>
<p>So whether you&#8217;re a first place finisher, or a tearful runner up, we think it&#8217;s FABULOUS that you all submitted yourself to Natvia&#8217;s promotional whims. Congratulations to the winners, and get ready to party your buns off in Vienna at the ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK bizarro soiree! Someone call me a cab!</p>
