If you're in the Pacific Northwest this weekend and looking for some highly caffeinated entertainment, check out the Northwest Regional Barista Competition, being held at the Temple Theater in Tacoma. This is the first round competition to see who will qualify for the US championships and then, possibly, move on to the World Barista Championship. 2008's World Barista winner, Irishman Stephen Morrissey, will be in attendance. 23 competitors will be making three drinks for the judges over the two day event -- and you can also check out a separate latte art competition. The event is free and open to the public.
