Problem: Absolutely loved this place. Emeril did an awesome job on the whole place from the menu to the layout. If you have a chance to watch a game there, do it! And if you go, ask to be seated in Armine's section. That girl made our night when our team was sucking A$$. She's funny, helpful and just a great sport. Thanks for a great time Armine! Update: So the playoffs are going on so we went right back last night to watch the NHL and NBA playoffs. Our first experience wasn't a fluke. We had a blast and ended up shutting the place down. Once again, Armine had us laughing like crazy and she even got the bartender Andrew into the mix, creating the perfect Manhattans and Martini's (we were too full to drink beer). Upped the rating to 5 stars from 4 because when it came down to it, there was Lagasses Stadium, Armine and Andrew showed us as good a time as we could have possibly had. Great job and thank you!!!!

Problem: Platinum member. Checked in first time and got upgraded (sounds good) but there was a worker living in our room. Not joking. Second time. Walked into our room and it was 55 degrees. The air was on. But it was 50 degrees outside. Ugh. Horrible.

Problem: Let's put my qualifications out on the table first, shall we? Started reading newspapers out loud at age 2 (granted, they were upside down and I was speaking complete gibberish), toted storybooks with me in the car at age 5 (thereby ruining my eyes for life), devoured nearly the entire kids floor of the beloved Lisle Library, then proceeded to decimate both my Jr. High and High School libraries. So yes, I have probably spent 80% of my life in either a) a library or b) a book. That said... the first time I stepped foot in CPL I was left breathless and giddy with excitement. In a dinky little town like Champaign, CPL is an architectural oasis with its high ceilings, beautiful use of glass and steel, and clean, well-lit areas. Looks aside, the library is filled with everything a bibliophile could hope for. Shelves and shelves of books, organized so intuitively and neatly. An easy access section right off the entrance for new releases of books and DVDs. Computer terminals at all the right places for catalog searching. Huge tables and quiet areas for studying and researching. And the cherry on top? A small cafe downstairs to supply a book's Best Companion - coffee. What more could I want??? Oh yeah, the amazingly awesome super cool checkout system. Maybe I'm just easily impressed but the fact that you drop your card in a little slot, spread all your books out on a small platform and hit the OK on the touchscreen and YOU'RE DONE - this system easily earns a spot in my personal list of Wonders of the World. Honestly, I've been so spoiled by CPL that when I moved to NYC a few months ago, I ended up being sorely disappointed by the NYPL. It's like reverting to the Stone Age after riding around in a flying car - it really is enough to make a grown woman cry. (Which I did, quietly in a dirty bathroom in NY's Mid Manhattan Library upon my first visit - but let's keep that between you and me, ok?)

Problem: This place must be under new ownership or something, because the quality of the experience I had has gone down drastically. The first time I'd been to The G Spot was about a year ago. The place had a ton of people in it, pretty decent music, and decent service. I decided to make another trip to The G Spot about a week ago and give it another try. When we walked in (me and my boyfriend), it was almost silent, and the staff was sitting at the back of the place smoking hookah. Not a big deal, whatever. When we went to the counter, the kid who was working walked up to the counter to help us. We were waiting on two other friends to join us, so we wanted to wait to decide what flavor we wanted, but the kid asked us about three times if we wanted to order without them. No. I'm pretty sure I made myself clear the first time, thanks. So we just stood there and waited, and he resumed his smoking with his other friends/coworkers. Then, when the rest of our party came, he got back up, obviously annoyed that we made him get up twice, and took our order. We went and took a seat in one of their couch/booth areas, and waited for the hookah. When it was brought out by the same kid, it only came with one coal. Really. One coal? I'm pretty sure that it's normal to get two coals with your hookah, like every other place does. But we ignored it and smoked it. Once our coal ran out, we had to shout at the kid to get his attention so we could get another coal. He shouted back from the other side of the room "ONE DOLLAR." meaning that in order for us to get another coal, we'd need to pay a dollar more. Not trying to sound cheap or anything, but why on Earth would you charge a dollar for something that should have been included in the original price of the hookah? Whatever. He brought the coal, and then proceeded back to his area. Then, we ordered a refill, and he brought the hookah back, and had even more of an attitude that he did in the first place. Really. For being one of the only two parties that were in the room, it's probably not necessary to be an asshole.. The hookahs are moderately priced. $15 per hookah (suitable for 4 people), and $6 per refill. But don't be prepared to pay the prices they advertise. You have to pay $1 per extra coal, $1 extra if you want to pay with a card (ridiculous), and extra money for the "hookah condom" things that you get (you're only given one per hookah). Needless to say I will not be returning. This place has become a joke
