Well, I *almost* went and got the plane tickets...until I remembered that my tourist visa had expired and I'm still waiting for my Portuguese residency to finalize.
There's a small chance I'll be going with K. She's writing for the style section of a newspaper now, and she pitched the idea of espresso to them. So I'll only have to pay for a plane/train ticket. I'll keep you posted.
This week I am eagerly anticipating the first god shots from my La Spaziale machine....
