I went in for a cup of coffee and stumbled into a chamber mixer

Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely. [from wikipedia]

This morning I wanted my rocket shot (4 shots of espresso in a 20 oz mocha) from @paddyscoffee. I went in and the place was packed with UC chamber members who were busy networking.

It was nice to finally meet my Twitter friend @genesarmiento in the flesh. Gene actually saw me first: “P0_P0, right?” I also found out that Bruce Davis [@daviscomputing] is on twitter. I know Bruce from his involvement with the Fremont and Union City chambers. I also met Don, from Southern Wine & Spirits. They provide the Fremont Festival with hundreds of bottles of wine for our annual festival. A few Facebook friends were there as well. All in all, a serendipitous way to meet people.

These shots are of Paddy and his awesome baristas. Next time, I’ll bring my G9 so I won’t have to use my phone’s camera.
