Book Fungus Can Get You High
By Ellen Warren / Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO-Getting high on great literature is taking on a whole new meaning.
It turns out that, if you spend enough time around old books and decaying manuscripts in dank archives, you can start to hallucinate. Really. We’re not talking psychedelia, “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” stuff, here. But maybe only a step or two away from that.
January Breakfast Club at Boca Bento » Jan 4
January Breakfast Club at Boca Bento
by Pamela Thompson
Since December’s Puerto Vallarta Breakfast Club meeting was a sell-out, raising $10,894.20 pesos for New Life Mexico, January’s meeting will once again be held at Boca Bento, located at Basilio Badillo #180 on Vallarta’s South Side.
Scheduled to be held on January 4th at 10 am, this month we will be supporting the local Salvation Army, so we ask that you bring donations of gently-used clean clothing and shoes (for all sizes and ages), blankets, towels, toiletries or dry goods (beans, rice, canned goods.)
You’ll enjoy your choice of 3 breakfast menus, prepared by Coco and her talented team for just $80 pesos per person, the chance to visit with old and new friends, and the opportunity to browse through interesting wares from five unique vendors, who’ll be selling everything from soap to glass products.
We hope to see you there! However, since December’s meeting was sold out, if you plan to attend January’s Breakfast Club meeting, we ask that you please RSVP as soon as possible!
For more information please call Pamela Thompson at (322) 222-9638, 044-322-107-7007, Nextel 145-6912 or send an email to pmt15(at)hotmail.com.
