Why hello, prospective new Nomad. More than a year ago, Mark & I started this group hoping to make a few new friends to enjoy all of San Francisco's cafe's and parks. We now have more than a handful of regulars, a few decafs, and a couple tea-drinkers joining us for the sunshine. Now that we sort of know what our group is all about, this is 'us', and who we hope to be someday: We're mostly 25-45y.o. folks who live in the city. A few of us know a lot about coffee, one of us even knows many of th …
