Hey, we’ve gotten nary a trickle of new contributions to this guide in the past few months. Now is the time to step up! We will be working on a new edition in the ‘08, and we want it to be fresher-than-fresh! Some of the listings on here are starting to mold, and on top of that, there’s a bunch of new places that have opened up! Head on over to the Submit page to add your own listing. And you can also write a listing about a place that’s already up!
