Um, scratch that.
Yelp Day, it seems, never happened. If you recall, Newsom supposedly declared today to be Yelp Day, but it was all one big fib. Or one big dream. Or one big misunderstanding by the fine folks over at Yelp. Newsom mouthpiece Nathan Ballard tells The Examiner, "No proclamation has been issued by the Mayor's Office."
Ouch.
Gay pornographers Colt Studios, however, got their own day.
Ouch, ouch.
The news of no Yelp Day came as a surprise to Yelp chief spokeswoman Stephanie Ichinose who claims that she worked with the mayor's staff on this year's proclamation. Ichinose even says that she received confirmation it would happen via a liaison with the mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services.
"I am a little shell-shocked by this," she tells The Examiner. "I even have the confirmation e-mail. We were really super-excited about it." (Post the email in question, Stephanie! Please!)
Anyway, this travesty must be further investigated. This has all the making of a Watergate-style cover up.

Someone is going to get a bad review.
Obviously the new trend of Yelp-themed Gay Pornography must have spooked Sacramento-bound Gav.
Shame.
damnit, shibi beat me to it! I can just imagine the mayor's rating plummeting to 2.5 stars.
what did they know and when did they know it?
his yelp profile is going to get negative bombed.
Any spokesperson who uses the words "shell-shocked" and "super-excited" in the same statement? One star.
Well, see, the city knows elite when it sees it...
jcsnotes: Manic-depression as a job requirement?
I bet some of Gav's staff didn't get into the Yelp holiday party.
Screw Yelp Day. We really need a Douche Day though.
@cv: Similar thought, perhaps someone got confused when they were talking about "entitlementard douchebag day" and the Yelpers thought it was for them while Gavin's team thought it was about him?
eye-chin-nose...
No one?!?
really?
come on people!
Jacobe, fancy a facial?
Yelp is a paid review service why would SF have a YELP DAY?. I own a business I have been approached by them saying if I paid $$$ they could show me a lot of positive reviews , and negative reviews would "disappear" I passed on that crap
Interesting business model
Yelp is overrated. No stars.
Why is anyone surprised that an ex-restaraunteur would leave Yelp hanging? Does anyone really expect Gavin to side with the peons against his friends?
According to SF Gate this is why it was cancelled...
