June One-Six-Seven-One
Back in high school, I told my closest friends that “when I have a law firm, 2pac will be playing in the office.” I really didn’t plan to have my own law practice in high school, I was just letting my friends know that I wouldn’t change.
Of course, I’m writing this from the Southlake Town Square Starbucks, the un-official yuppie suburb headquarters of north Texas. And yes, I’m wearing the official yuppie job uniform: grey slacks and a blue dress shirt.
But what better day than today, 2pac’s birthday, to keep my word to those closest friends of mine. I’ll just keep the music down so as not to freak out the other tenants on my floor.

It's a shame Pac had to go out like he did. Biggie was a better MC and lyricist, but Pac's music definitely had more meaning.
I've been working with Pac in the background since wayyy back. I've been keeping an eye on your site for a while, but now I'll tune in regularly, at least out of respect for this post alone. If my startup (etc) worked with your firm, would we honestly have a chance to deal with you?
