Breakfast For Dinner


JAKE DE PAUL: TEMPEST LOUNGE HOSTS A BENEFIT >>>

Not even kidding here, folks. Friday was National Hairball Awareness Day. Did you know that it's not just cats that get hairballs? Your pet goat also gets them. So do kids who compulsively eat hair. Bezoars, as they were called, used to be cherished, and would be set with jewelry. They can also be made of nondigestible food, like celery (celery?!) or gum (don't swallow gum!).

Hungry?

Well, maybe by next Wednesday.

The Tempest Lounge hosts Breakfast For Dinner, a benefit forCoalition: HUMAnE Wednesday, May 6 from 5-7 p.m.

“We're excited about this event because Michelle and I have benefited from their services in a big way,” explains Tempest co-owner Denise Tempest. “We have a feral colony in our neighborhood and if it wasn't for Coalition: HUMAnE we couldn't afforded to fix all the cats we've had fixed.”

The Tempest will be serving breakfast for dinner: scrambled eggs, sausage, roasted potatoes and pancakes.

Expect door prizes, too. Thankfully, they’re skipping the hairballs.
