But the Thompson guide is expensive, bulky, pretty illogical, limited, and takes itself pretty darn seriously. So its a pretty bad bet. For the record, I also bought the guide when there were not many other options. I would not do so again.
Anyone know when the Wolverine Guide comes out?

Cater's guide is pretty good.
And Thompsons rainy day umbrella's are cool.
But I'm a glass half full kind of a guy.

I agree. Just stay at Roger's and ask him where to go.

Mainly coz he'll tell you where the crowds are headed on a given day, so you can go elsewhere.

+1 on Mrs Fields Follies. Did that over the weekend. Classic, definitely not to be missed.
