    if i moved to dallas, i'd probably have to start teasing my hair more. and that wouldnt work out considering i have dreadlocks! hehe. i have an aunt that lives in Arlington, though! Next time I'm in the area, i'll definitely let you know!

    I'm not super stoked on Austin for some reason. I think it will be fine, and who knows, maybe I'll end up loving it... but my heart is kind of in Houston.

    Coffees of the day (for me): apple cider. haha. ;)

    Hi Vincent,

    My name is Dustin, and I import/retail kopi luwak from the Philippines. My company Bantai Civet Coffee is located in San Antonio, TX. I saw you and your shop are out of Dallas, so I wanted to give a shout out to one of my fellow Texans. Anyways, nice to meet you and let me know if you ever need any Kopi Luwak green beans.
