How About A Giveaway While We Get Caught Up

blizzard-sierra-nevada

For those of you just tuning in, when last we saw Bossy she was stuck in a blizzard eating herself alive in the Donner Pass on her way from Sacramento to Reno.

And before that, Bossy was all:

bossys-friend-ronny-drum

ronny-bossy-palo-alto

And somewhere in there, tangled in the legs of time between the drummer and the Donner, Bossy convened her council in three different regions: Palo Alto, Sacramento, and Portland.

So let’s play a little game, shall we? Bossy will show you photos of the three different meet-ups, and you guess which is which.

The prize is courtesy of Bossy’s friends at Seattle’s Best Coffee, where coincidentally Bossy spent yesterday afternoon taste-testing things like this:

cold-brew-marbled-mocha

Bossy became an even bigger fan of Seattle’s Best Coffee, where the whipped cream is homemade, the coffee beans are ground more refined for their special Melitta filters, and their coffee blends are named after cats who used to hang around their store’s grinders.

Bossy’s friends at Seattle’s Best Coffee would like to give three Bossy readers a Seattle’s Best kit containing the Toddy ColdBrew iced coffee system with three bags of Seattle’s Best Coffee. To read Bossy’s post about the Toddy ColdBrew system and find out what that has to do with Michael Jackson, click here.

To win, simply leave a comment, one per person please, guessing which meet-up belongs to which city — you don’t have to be correct to win, Bossy will employ her friend the Random Number Generator at the end of the weekend.

So that’s three (No) Book Tour meet-ups in three cities with three Bossy winners — any questions? Bossy put your hand down.

This is Meet-up #1 and included Daniela, Stacey, Vanessa, Foolery, and Andréa, with a special shout out to Roya and Bossy’s new husband Gramps. Is this Palo Alto, Sacramento, or Portland?

  2. because the Random Number Generator *always* picks low numbers, I bet I win! YAY!

    1 – Palo Alto
    2 – Sacramento
    3 – Portland

    How can you tell if the blends are named after kittehs? There doesn’t seem to be a PsychoKitty Blend. Is Sumatra the name of a kitteh? Hmmm…

  5. Hmm…let’s see. I’m pretty sure I know which is which, since some of those folks look awfully familiar in #3…

    Portland misses you already, Bossy!

  7. 1-Portland
    2-Palo Alto
    3-Sacramento

    and it is probably a good thing you’re using the RNG because I really have no clue 😉

  10. Sacramento, Palo Alto, Portland.
    Snowstorm?!? Chains?!?! Was Bossy ready for that?

  11. 1. Portland
    2. Sacramento
    3. Palo Alto

    If I win, will Seattle’s Best Coffee come to my house to make whipped cream? No? Sigh.

  12. I say Portland, Sacramento, Palo Alto. Looks like you’re having a great time out there Bossy.

  13. 1. Sacramento
    2. Palo Alto
    3. Portland

    In other news, just watched Serendipity. Thinking you should drop by that skating rink in Central Park on your way home…

  18. Oh, it would be so easy to cheat since I just saw your photos on facebook. But I won’t, because 1. I have impeccable moral fortitude, and 2. I’m too lazy to look up which photo is which to make sure I’m correct, but 3. I really, really, really love iced coffee.

  19. 1-Sacto
    2-PA
    3-Portland … a picture I missed out on being in 🙁

    It was great meeting everyone in Portland!!!

  25. #1. Palo Alto
    #2. Sacramento
    #3. Portland
    Maybe I copied off of #23 when she wasn’t looking 🙂

  26. 1. Sacramento
    2. Palo Alto
    3. Portland

    Did Foolery set you up with the Blue Diamond goods? I ask because I’m from her neck o’ the state.

  35. I’m thinking 1) Sac-town. 2) Palo Alto, my hometown, and 3) Portland.
    coffeeeeeee!

  46. 1. Sacramento
    2. Palo Alto
    3. Portland

    You had the photos with numbers up on your facebook page, in the albums for the correct cities. FTW!

  47. Sacramento?
    Palo Alto?
    Portland? I hear from so many about how great Portland is..one day..

  48. Silly Bossy!

    How soon you forget!!

  53. 1 Sacramento
    2 Palo Alto
    3 Portland

    Am I the only weird person who gets creeped out by the mental image of cats hanging out by coffee grinders??? Hopefully it’s just ground coffee beans in the coffee…..

  54. 1. Sacramento
    2. Palo Alto
    3. Portland, where I once stayed in a sleazy hotel when it was too wet to camp in our tent. Oy.

  62. Portland
    Palo Alto
    Sacramento
    i’ve been dying to get one of those Toddy cold brew – they make the best coffee – so far I just bum it off friends 🙂

  63. 1. Sacramento
    2. Palo Alto
    3. Portland

    @DeeDee – no worse than driving by a Chinese restaurant yesterday named Kittys Chinese, and it was NOT a play on words type of place. oh no…

  73. Portland, Portland, Portland? I’m hoping I got at least one right. And I love the Toddy coffee!

  80. You can’t fool me with the “Is this Palo Alto, Sacramento, or Portland?” question — you can’t tell anymore, can you? I hope you get some sleep soon!

  81. Sacramento
    Palo Alto
    Portland
    I’ve been reading a long time, but never commented. I had to try to win this…I have been trying to find a Toddy system in my hometown for AGES (I realize I could order one online, but then I have to wait for it to be shipped…also yes I realize I’d have it now if I’d just ordered it when I first thought to get one) and now maybe I can win one!

  82. #1 Palo Alto
    #2 Portland
    #3 Sacramento

    …or maybe one of them was Austin! No, wait – I know the ones who were there. So I’ll stick with the answers above.

  86. Sacramento
    Palo Alto
    Portland

    Seattle’s Best is really the best. When I lived there I fell in love with it (10 years ago) they just started selling it here. Yay!

  92. Sacramento – 1, Palo Alto – 2 and Portland – 3. Number 2 has to be right, at least! Looks like the weather we have been having!

  94. 1 – Portland
    2 – Sacramento
    3 – Palo Alto

    I have no logic for my choices. It just all looks fun.
