How is choosing a crappy location "bad luck"? Sounds to me like a bad business decision, especially if he knew the Bueno lost 40% of its business due to the Exxon?
Oh, I heard the food stunk too, but I can't corraborate that claim.

popups are paying for you to view this site - get over it!

Jason - go to the Daily You, then 'for you' on the right navigation, then "recently". I thought it was gone too - just have to hunt for it.
Oh, and I dig the names in the comments now Mike - looks good!

One thing that would be nice is to have verified user names beneath their picture icons. While many of us like to keep the same pics, others tend to be a little erratic with their avatars. So, the first thing I see is the pic, but I have to scroll my eyes over to the little font with the person's name to see who it is. You would think all identity info (pics + name) would be in one place so you wouldn't have to look in multiple places. Maybe even if it's just the first name for verified users only - it would be cool.
I know that's just nitpicking at this point, but just a suggestion.

Favoriting seemed to work for me, however, on my home page (which I guess now is the Daily You), it seems like I have a lot fewer events based on my favorites. I'm not even seeing an event that I've favorited showing up on my "For you --> events" (winter art mart at the bath house). I'm used to going to my profile page and seeing a list of all events from venues and artists that I've favorited, but I'm not seeing anything like that anymore. Am I missing something?

haha, is this guy joking? Let me go up to Jersey and ask to see the Cowboys game while Giants are playing - I'm sure I would get a great response.

As this comment thread has gone on (which many tend to do), there is lots of white space to the right hand side of the screen - seems kind of lonely. What would be cool is if there was a hovering side-bar on the right that would scroll down with you that would keep "latest stories", "latest comments", "things you can't miss", etc - or any other navigation feature (even "back to top"). As it is, once you start scrolling down on comments, you're kind of it no-mans land until you get to the bottom.

Hmmm...something weird. It seems like it's only taking the comment that I entered when hitting "preview comment" the very first time. I hit "preview comment", then revise comment, then preview again - I didn't submit, but I hit "X". That took me back to the initial page, but blew away my comments.
When I wrote in a new comment and went through the preview comment spiel again, the comment that actually got submitted was the first one that I thought was blown away, not the new one I just wrote.

I'm writing this comment the 2nd time, because it got blown away the first :(
I like it, design looks great, although it seems to take a lot of real-estate for comments. Not sure if IE can scroll that far down if we have ourselves another Caesar Chavez controversy.
Also, it will take some getting used to the latest comments/stories on the bottom - and it would be nice to be able to see more than two latest comments.

yeah, I wouldn't exactly call that inspiring, and I'm not sure if I like some of those analogies, even though I do believe some of it. I do like this quote from another source though:
"The standard diet of a meat-eater is blood, flesh, veins, muscles, tendons, cow secretions, hen periods and bee vomit. And once a year during a certain holiday in November, meat-eaters use the hollowed out rectum of a dead bird as a pressure cooker for stuffing. And people think vegans are weird because we eat tofu?"
anyway. go Cowboys.
