LOST DOG

Hello Slopers,
Our year and a half old Boston Terrier Molly went missing on Friday Oct.19th. She was last seen on south 2nd and Havemeyer in Williamsburg, Brooklyn wearing her burgundy harness. She is apprx. 20lbs, brindle/brown and white with a spot on her head and two more on the upper part of her right paw. She’s also very affectionate and loves humans. Witnesses saw a large dark skinned young man unhook her from her leash while I spent two minutes putting coins in my dryer at the laundromat ( the guilt is immense). The reward for her safe return is $2500, no questions asked. PLEASE PLEASE call 917-583-2626 or 646-249-4539 if you see her anywhere and if possible send us picture messages of the dog you see and where. We are just a couple who loves our dog and are beside ourselves with grief and worry about her.
Thanks so much,

Club Loco – Performance Space for Teens

In operation since January 2007, Club Loco is a performance space for teen bands open only to youth, ages 14-20.
Supervised by young adult volunteers and a paid security guard, Club Loco operates one Saturday evening per month
during the school year, in a space off Seventh Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn..
Club Loco is sponsored by the Park Slope Civic Council and the Reformed Church in America as a service
to the community. We are a non profit.

Our next event is October 20th, 2007.
Click here for the poster for this event.

We are looking for additional publicity, volunteers AND donations to keep the space open and available to teenagers…

We’d be interested in having local businesses sponsor the club — it would only cost $350 to sponsor a single show date as the space
is donated and costs are relatively low.

This is a great opportunity for a business to get involved at the ground level with a local project which supports the artistic growth of
our own teens!

Please contact me at the attached email address with any leads, questions, suggestions …

Que?

Does anyone know why the restaurant Beso (vic. 5th and Union) has stopped serving dinner and changed its hours to something ridiculous like 10am – 3pm? This used to be my favorite little neighborhood Latin place; their plantain chips and avocado salsa were worth flying out from L.A. for. I really hope this is just temporary, and not a step towards closure for the restaurant. Anyone know the deal?
