While we were down for half the morning, goons from marketing stopped by to offer decorating tips. They're not very good at it, though--one of them smashed a priceless Ming vase, shattered a fragment of the Rosetta Stone we had on display and spilled our breakfast bourbon. They were apologetic, though. Kept mentioning how our failure to post this promotional piece made them upset. When they get upset, apparently, they get clumsy.

So to prevent anymore such upsets, it would be best if you subscribed to our weekly newsletter, Hot off the Grill. You'd know all about the opening of Geisha House and where to nab 75-cent margaritas. Sign up here.
