Intelli's Grand Opening!!

On 8-17-07 Intelligentsia Coffee and tea opened their first shop outside of Chicago. It is in Silver Lake, Ca (next to Hollywood on sunset blvd). Our friend Nick Griffith was selected to be one of the barista/roasters. In honor of the event we closed the shop early and Erika and I went with mike in his 1982 diesel powered VW Dasher. It was really fun, the place was packed out, the DJ had some bumpin' music, free coffee and espresso flowed like brown lava into already over caffeinated hipsters. the patio. the place to see and be scene.

Half of Mike, the Johnston's, and the Griffith's, chillin' with Doug Zell, owner of Intelli
