    So the the Wu-Tang is causing trouble. We will have to meet at the Highest Temple in the land to settle this dispute. For now I know how to use my liquid swords.

    so today i had a coffee station regular come in to buy whole bean coffee. we got to talking and she said she's moving to austin in january. she expressed some disappointment in the shops she's visited so far. i started talking about medici and she said she's moving right down the street from you guys!

    i really talked y'all up (all true of course!) and told her i couldn't say enough good things about medici. she was really excited by the time the conversation was over.

    so as of january you will be +1 more regular, haha. =)
