ANOTHER - ANOTHER 48 HOURS

December 13th, 2008

Jack Cates once again enlists the aid of ex-con Reggie Hammond–this time, to take down The Iceman, a ruthless drug lord operating in the San Francisco bay area.

Ok ok, if you get that joke your obviously a strange fan of eighties action flicks, regardless domtron and matty riss-bomb pulled a 48 hour marathon to get the shop open.

White Horse Coffee officially opened its doors for trading on 12.12.08, Alan T’s birthday, happy bday Woody!

There were many arguments, many micro sleeps, many cans of guarana energy drinks, and so many more memories that only the maddest of baristi could fathom….
