This. Of course there are always emergencies, but if you can't deal w/ an employee being out of touch for a couple hrs Friday afternoon, perhaps you need to evaluate how the business is being run.

Season 3 is waaaay improved over season 2. The first half of season 2 is generally considered the worst of the series. Keep going, it's worth it.

Yep, I give about 20% to my barber as well.

Mr. Pink, is that you?

It aggregates feeds from all kinds of different sources of your choosing (for example, you can throw Gizmodo in there) and puts them into a pretty format/layout. Personally, I prefer the interface of Currents, which does the same sort of thing.

Only 45% if you filter by "Top Critics".

Better solution ... don't have your wedding at an expensive-ass venue that makes you use their own expensive-ass bar. We specifically chose a venue (and these type of venues are typically cheaper anyway, because they aren't as "industrial-wedding-complex-y, so even w/ booze the total cost is probably less than a lot…
