Really liking this place, I’ve been there twice this week after work. They have a great, rotating beer selection (as in a daily printed draft menu) and a knowledgeable staff that is eager to please. Tough on the pocket (at least mine, I only make non-profit money), but the beers are definitely worth a visit and all the food partaken by me and my cohorts has been excellent. If...

They are gaining quite a following on their own, in fact, leading those who love the show to become even more involved during the six days in between new episodes. They are promoting your product in a fresh, original way.
Why would you sabotage...

musingsofthebrain:
Without a doubt, you all have seen this news. I think this sucks. What’s funny to me is that record labels are missing the point with Pandora - it’s a way to get people to hear and discover new music.
