    Wussup Homie! Yup! I live in Los Angeles now and I am working for Intelligentsia. I'll be helping open up a new location in Venice Beach. You gonna be in Chicago? Really looking forward to a rematch! ;) How've you been?!

    Yup! I'll be in Chicago! Since I work for Intelligentsia now it was definitely an easy request for time-off since they're based out of Chi-Town. I'm looking forward to some events during the weekend as well! What day do you pour? I'm not holding back this time! ;) How's your lady?
