BARK VICTORY! FOUR: DACH-TOBERFEST!
Bark Victory! starts a monthly run at the Stone Bar on Sunday, March 18th at 8 PM. Bark Victory! is a new organization that holds fundraisers to help people with financially prohibitive veterinarian bills. In 2006 we helped two individuals who faced between $3,000 and $5,000 apiece in veterinarian bills.
The beneficiary of this Bark Victory! is Jennifer Taylor Scott and her 6-year-old Dachshund, Owen. Owen was diagnosed last year with Mega-Esophagus, a disease that usually leads to a fatal bout of pneumonia, from constantly regurgitating food into the lungs, or starvation due to malnutrition. Owen is currently fighting through though with the aid of a specially designed chair that helps him eat upright, a special diet and the patience and persistence of his owner. His current vet bills are over $5,500 and his regular monthly care, without any emergency vet visits, is close to $300 a month.
This Bark Victory! is hosted by punk chanteuse and Hollywood fixture, Tequila Mockingbird. Besides Tequila, scheduled performers include: comedian Edison Apple, cabaret artist Alex Boling, musical comedy trio Eva Brontosaurus, electro trio Hayden and the Headphones and singer/songwriter Maureen Kelly. The mysterious Mrs. X will DJ before and after the event.
Stone Bar is located at 5221 Hollywood Blvd. (Hollywood & Harvard, roughly two blocks east of Western) in Hollywood. Doors at 7:00 PM, live show 8:00 PM. Ten dollar donation.
