All is now right in his world.

I am not discounting Intelligentsia, to hear everyone tell it their a great company, awesome product, but I am just wondering "why". Was the big turn out because you tweeted it? This economy makes people go out of their way and celebrate a business expanding, as opposed to others that contract? Venice, the city, has a stronger than average sense of community and all come out to support fellow Venetians? ...or is everyone working such long hours, they appreciate new sources of super high octane espresso?
