I finally got to shake hands with Jim—the bald, mus­ta­chioed co-owner of El Pelón Taqueria—at a neigh­bor­hood meet­ing tonight. He wants every­one to know that the restau­rant is com­mit­ted to re-opening in the same loca­tion as soon as pos­si­ble. And while that may mean wait­ing until 2010, he assured me that my fully-punched fre­quent bur­rito card will still be honored.

As we were talk­ing, I real­ized that he is the face on the front of my t-shirt. How weird is that?
