This might be something you can do and I just don't know how, but the ability to add categories to venues would be great (i.e. Elsie's is my favorite bowling alley, but it's not tagged as a bowling alley - at least category-wise - so I can't choose it as my favorite in that category).

Is there a way to do that and I just don't know how?

I reckon this will only further motivate the base if anything... and for any mainstream folks in the crowd, hopefully it will point out the absurdity of the current prohibition?

Vita.mn has been playing around on Twitter for a while now. Our tweets involve upcoming events, tickets to shows, photos and random musings on music, film, TV, etc.

We also see our Twitter presence as a way to bring you exclusive deals and offers on behalf of our advertisers. When you see one of our tweets tagged with #voffers (or Vita.mn offers), you'll know that we've got a great deal for you. You can also click on the #voffers hash tag to see all of the available offers aggregated into one spot.

Example offer:
Wine lovers: After 7p each night, get a free bottle of wine w/ purchase of 2 dinners at Spoonriver. Good till 2/28. Not good w/ other offers #voffers

And if you not following Vita.mn on Twitter yet, you should: twitter.com/vita_mn

I'll give that some though. A play date in a bad neighborhood with a drunken chimp, perhaps.

The vita crew.

Margaret Andrews

The CSS genius behind this site and its semantic glory. She enjoys Blythe dolls, long walks on the beach, trash television, talking about herself in the 3rd person, and photography.

Leslie Plesser

Leslie is the art director for the print version of Vita.mn, which means she spends her days trying to make newsprint look as pretty as possible, while her nights are divided between First Avenue, trash television and Rock Band.

Tim Ikeman

Tim is the Vita.mn Product Manager, doing the work nobody else wants to do since 1963, err, 2006. He excels at having too many hobbies and seeking out cheap booze.

Christian-Philippe Quilici

Chris- tian is the Events and Promo Manager up in here. He speaks five languages fluently, comes from a small island in the middle of the sea and has a one-eyed wonder pug dog named Fannie Mae (he bailed her out, get it?). He is also an astronaut and a liar.
