I went for his spot on the lunch bar, where she volunteered to take the now standard goofy photo with my iPad. The $16 special was delicious, but had to be one of the smallest lunches ever served in the US.

    guardianmusic:

    Shamelessly ripping off this map here, we thought we’d try to set up a collaborative map to show what areas of the UK people are writing music blogs about.

    So, if you’re writing about your local music scene, let us know by adding yourself to this map. To do so, sign in to Google, click on this link and click ‘edit’ to add your placemark with a description of, and link to, your blog.

    Make sure you help out our sister music page!
