Okay, I said I was going to have this up by the weekend, so I'm going to keep my word. It's a preliminary effort, though, so there are probably lots of suggestions that aren't included yet. I personally think that one thing that would help immensely with the yellow toolbar just below the banner would be the addition of divider bars | between the entries. It just seems to make the things listed make more sense to me. So I added those to my mockup.

I remembered the homepage at AS as well, and have based this mockup on it. There's lots of room for change. Most of the links that you see are active, so you can play if you like. There are three pages: "People to Meet" , "Places to Go" , and "Things to Do". Each page has links that in someway kind of go with the topic of the page. I'm leaving links to all three, but you can get from any one to the other by using the "Pick Your Destination" dropdown box.

It may not be anything like what we want or will end up suggesting to Jot, but at least it gives us something visual to tear down and rebuild. So, let the mayhem begin!
