Tweets are pouring in about MARBC updates. Mike White is on the floor live tweetpic-ing (yes, we said live tweetpic-ing). Folks are signed on to the official United States Barista Championship web site chat room and waiting for a live feed. Chat room sources indicate there will be no live feed today. Our sources have told us that there are people on the ground working hard to get a stream up and expect (fingers crossed) to see the finals online and streaming tomorrow.

20 more Millrock Latte Art contenders are competing in Day 2 of Round 1. Congratulations to Sprudge.com friend Erin Meister of Counter Culture Coffee, who tied for first in yesterday.
