Well Christmas has come and gone for another year. Bad Smell finally cracked and bought me a Christmas present after more than 2.5 years of knowing each other. Now I can finally count on two fingers the number of presents he has ever bought me. Good going.
In other news, have you seen the 'OFFICIAL WEB SITE THINGY' for the So-So-Bar? If not, click here. (It was on the invite for the opening night.)
No, that's not your computer playing up. There is NOTHING ON THE PAGE except for a bit of text saying info@sobar.com.au. Now I'm not a web designer, but as far as I know, you shouldn't create a page with nothing on it to advertise a business. It is annoying and is likely to drive customers away.
I mean, couldn't they have even made the email address so you can click on it to send an email? Instead you have to type the email address into the 'to' field yourself if you want to send an email. Screw that. Typing is for jerks.
I also note that they have chosen purple as the official colour for the So-So-Bar, as it is present on both the invite and the web site. A quick scan of the internet reveals that purple is the colour of royalty. I don't know who management is trying to kid, but royalty is very unlikely to ever darken the door of the hole. Or even anyone vaguely important, for that matter. Though I did see Angela Bishop having dinner there one night a few years ago.
Another meaning of the colour purple is riches or money. Hence it follows that the only possible explanation for this colour being chosen as So-So-Bar's official shade is that the company that was hired to redesign it was allowed to pick the colour and $1.8 million later, they are having a laugh at management's expense.
