March 3, 2013 - Shore Birds
This has been a far too active week in Santa Barbara. Is this a record for the most structure fires in one week? Between all
of the arrests, mysterious disappearances, fires, various emergency responses around town, and oh yes fires, we hope that next week will be far less
active. Kudos to all the emergency personnel and Edhatters who kept us posted on the most up to date information.
On a lighter note, March Edness will start on Monday at midnight. Get ready! We'd also like to introduce Jenny Schlax to the Edhat team. She will
be covering the local music scene and shows.
Our Dog of the Week is Daisy Mae, a soft hearted therapist who is no stranger to Edhat. Our Cat of the Week is Riley, a hilarious Lenin
impersonator on the weekends. Our Non-Profit of the Week is the the Anti-Defamation League who fight against anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry.
David Powdrell goes bird watching and checks out the Rincon Classic. Jenny Schlax reviews the Girls Rock SB concert and Fred gets fired up about
banking.
