No, the guests didn't have to sign anything. My brother lives in that building and throughout the filming they had a sign up that said "if you are reading this sign you have given your consent to be on TV".

Word. But, even with two cats now, We. Have. So. Many. Bags. See, I have two dogs and need to encourage all of my friends to get plastic and save them for me. I can never have enough plastic bags for those two little poop machines!

i actually hate starbucks. will go to significant lengths to avoid getting anything there. but what they actually provide ain't half bad, as it were. but i do believe coffee purveyors in the airports before were decent enough. (Are there still non-starbucks coffee joints in US airports ?) I hope so. There's a great coffee company located in the Minneapolis airport called Caribou Coffee. They have stores throughout MN and also in Chicago, Ohio, MI and GA (and maybe a few other cities as well). I think they're the only semi-national coffee company that's been able to compete against Starbucks in some markets. It's a great product.

They better watch out, someone from Corporate finds out and they'll be slapped with a law suit! I say this, as I used to work for corporate...but don't worry, their secret is safe with me!

I too appreciate Eric's post on Portugal as I will be there in Oct. However, I was disappointed to read that no one mentioned the greatest restaurant in Spain---Botin. Or maybe it was The Sun Also Rises nostalgia that kept me coming back? Regardless...great restaurant, great ambiance, great experience. And you've gotta try the suckling pig...fantastic!
