Mappy Hour? The new coolest thing EVER!

Hi All,

I am here writing to pass on the coolest website this side of, well, [insert your own clever internet reference here]. It's called Mappy Hour and it's frickin cool.

Check Out: http://mappyhour.nerl.net/index.php

Let's talk about the cool features [other than the fact it tells you where all the bars are!]:
-When you click down on the map, a happy face comes up where you click. HOW CUTE! Plus, it's eyes are glazed over and it looks drunk. It's a drunk happy face [how appropriate].
-When you click on a bar [also appropriately animated as a beer glass] you can link to http://www.yelp.com [another of my favorite websites] to read reviews of the bar.
-You can also "rally your friends" to go to the bar. I'm not quite sure how this works, but that's cool. Speaking of rallying, another cool website to check out is http://www.dodgeball.com.
-It's powered by google maps. And if you know me, you know I'm a google whore so I obviously love that.

While I'm throwing links left and right, I highly recommend everyone go to http://www.google.com/reader. Use your gmail account to log in. [What?? You don't have a gmail account?? e-mail me and I'll send you an invite]. Googol reader is a place where you can consolidate all your online reading [blogs like me, websites, etc] into one place. So you don't have to check lots of websites, you just go to the reader. If you put my web address into the 'add/subscribe' box you can 'subscribe' to my website and it will automatically update when there is new content! How cool is that? For those of you that know all this already, obviously please ignore. But I keep finding more and more people these days who haven't heard of it so I'm on a mission!

ps. props to andrew for sending me the mappy hour link.
