Oh ok I get it...

First let me say... My nick name is Zoe. Not my real name. My last name isn't Williams (although for those of you in the know, it is kinda close).

I was totally freaking out wondering why people were calling me on my cell phone all morning... asking for zoe williams today... On my frikken cell phone. Well... this would be why. Someone out there gave someone sometime my cell phone number and then it got passed around. Five calls this morning. Before 9 a.m. About another five a bit later. A couple of the people were really mad at Zoe for comprimising on her efforts and told me as much, but not in such nice terms ok all the calls where pretty much telling Zoe she is a "f'in bitch, shut the place down"... um what? What the begebus are you talking about???? Gawd love google because now I know. And have turned my cell phone off. I am so amused that I am not even bothering to change my voice mail on my cell phone. Let people call. I can't wait to hear what they have to say. And Zoe... just so you know, people want to do more than email you apparantly!

hey listen... don't go to the bar if you don't like their schitck. Simple as that. Trust me I give the place a year. Simply put even the paint job on the outside of the building is horrible. It isn't going to last. Gimicks don't go over here in Denver. They really don't. Whether the gimick is misplaced mimicking of names and ideas of sexual violence misogyny and belittlement or not, it isn't going to work. The food has to be exceptional, the drinks reasonable (ok they have a all you can drink night, but still you have to be a female and you have to buy their fakackta tank top), and the people there have to have to have to be pretty right? Otherwise its just a dumb bar, with a dumb name, with a seriously heinous paint job.

In his letter to the Independent Media the owner of the restaurant says that its ok to name things offensively if it is named by a hispanic or a woman. Oy. I definately give this place a year. If that. Good luck Tosh bubelah. Your investors will love their commerorative opening tshirts and their memories, but peanut you created the wrong controversy.

When MAO opened the big hoopla wasn't the names of the food it was the soft core porn that was on the flat panel tv's in the mens and womens bathrooms. It was awesome, it lasted a day, the controversy was way over and who knows they may still show it. No one cares. You have set a precident by being pretty blatently offensive and kinda gross(the protest site isn't at all filthy like you say by the way, it just is angry at you).

Good luck everyone involved. Tone down the paint job on the outside of the building (seriously, I bet the City Zoning people aren't too happy with you either) and be a little stealth about things and seriously you may get past this, who knows your food could totally kick major ass, my guess is for authentic Mexican food, I would do better with the Burrito or Taco from El Taco de Mexico on 7th and Sante Fe.
