Yeah, more or less. There are a few more odd-ball references as well

Wow, a truely excellent idea. At the start of any new adventure i run the same thing happens i say, "Ok," and imediately the group shouts, "You're in a bar!?" Heh,HEH, HEH!!! It looks like revenge time comin'.

I'm looking forward to this as well. Necromancer seems to be dropping the standard adventure in favore of sourcebooks and mini-campaign adventures.
Mind you there is nothing wrong with the standard adventure but I think that the market has matured enough to the point where new ideas and sourcebooks are need to help flesh out those ideas. Even the richest adventures tend to have a 'bland' flavor due to not taking advantage of the numerous sourcebooks out there and that's of course done in the favor of not making everyone have each sourcebook.
That's why I like the mini-campaigns. They seem to strike a nice compromise.

Book of Taverns
As a playtester for this book, I can say without a doubt that this is a terrific resource. Many of these taverns are not only great for first time encounters (yes, as already mentioned sweet revenge for the 'we-meet-in-a-bar' mentality) but they're rich enough to provide a re-occuring locale that will be the first stop characters make whenever they come to town.
This is a terrific book and one that no DM will find disappointing. The biggest trick? Keeping it out of your player's hands.

So when is this puppy hitting the shelves again? This looks like a very useful, very utility needed book.
