Budget woes, medical marijuana's sad fate and oh, there goes the neighborhood. Good thing it's still SIFF and Beer Week--we need it.

Illuminate Seattle Saturday to Support Foster Youth
Come out to the Hard Rock Café Saturday night to party for a cause.Illuminate: Light the Way to a Bryte Future is the first official fundraiser by Philanthro Seattle. Featuring a black light theme, guests are encouraged to wear neon and white clothing to light up the Hard Rock as they get down to music by former MTV DJ, DJ Kazan. Seeking to connect young professionals with charitable causes, proceeds from the event will benefit the YMCA’s foster youth programs.
Jamba Juice: Now with Oatmeal
Today marks the debut of the aforementioned new item on the menu at Jamba Juice. But this ain't your grandmother's Starbucks' oatmeal--it's made with slow-cooked organic steel cut oats, made from scratch on-site. Altogether, it takes about 40 minutes to prepare, which is, like, a year in fast food time. The oatmeal comes topped with a brown sugar crumble and your pick of fruit toppings: blueberry-blackberry, apple cinnamon, or fresh bananas. To celebrate the rollout, Jamba Juice is doing the non-profit community a solid by making deliveries to workers at non-profits in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, and Salt Lake City. Here in Seattle, it's the employees of the Downtown YMCA who got a warm 'n' tasty oatmeal breakfast on this chilly morning.
