July Got Town Hall’d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to Adrian Jax for being the new State Public Defender, aka the Head of PDO! I know I was always seeing her clocked in on the Fed Finder app before doing law things, so this seems like a good place for her expertise. The mention of copyright stuff regarding H.R. 246<\/a> was brought up. I remember it being brought up the week I wrote Scoops Volume 23<\/a>, which was over a month ago, but I didn\u2019t feel like there was much movement in that area since. Anyway, here\u2019s the official Weazel News article<\/a> regarding the July Town Hall if you want the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoomies at a Price\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not just any price, but the price that works for your budget. You\u2019ve probably seen flyers posted throughout the city for Blackbook Zoom for a while now. Blackbook Zoom<\/a> is a useful website if you\u2019re car shopping. It includes all the vehicles that are available for sale in the city, including their price and dealership location. It even includes information on how much the downpayment and monthly payments would be if you\u2019re planning to finance inside of buying a vehicle outright. The website also has a budget calculator, so it can help you narrow down your options based on your specific budget. Definitely go check out the website, even if you\u2019re not currently looking to purchase a new vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n

Update with the McFall\/Cain Case\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a hot minute. Weazel News provided a bit of an update on 2023-CM-163<\/a> since the court ruling day about a month ago. The update also includes the final opinion of the court, which I think is worth the read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bohan Opens Again (in Maxine’s words)\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The grand re\u2013opening of Bohan after several months of closure is the biggest feeling of euphoria that I\u2019ve had in ages. Both DJ Spooky and Dante Gravina were the entertainment for the night, and both of them performed exceptionally well. Dante’s music maintained a vaporwave-chillwave techno theme that overall kept the heat bumping and the crowd moving and grooving. Meanwhile, DJ Spooky produced a never-ending remix of popular pop songs with pop hits such as Cupid<\/em> by Fifty-Fifty, Flowers<\/em> by Miley Cyrus, and Boy\u2019s a Liar<\/em> featuring Ice Spice and PinkPantheress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over forty people turned out, and the room was relatively packed for the majority of the time the event ran. I spoke with Donny Damino, Bohan’s current owner and CEO, who told me the number of people in attendance blew his mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI was expecting a decent one. This, however, absolutely blows my expectations. I’m really excited to see what the future brings. I just want to give everyone a good time.”<\/p>\nDonny Damino, owner and CEO of Bohan<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps I\u2019m too much of a sentimental and empathetic person, but his astonishment may make me almost tear up a little bit. I\u2019m happy to see one of the best clubs out there staying strong. Damino hopes to see the same audiences at future events. Bohan is here to stay!<\/p>\n\n\n

Thank you, Maxine, for sharing with us! Now, back to me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tortuga\u2019s At It Again\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a while since I last wrote about Tortuga, and this time isn\u2019t really me writing about it either. My colleague Daffodil was at the Tortuga Deep Dive Cleanup event<\/a> earlier this week on Tuesday, and she wrote about the cleanup efforts as well as what we can do to help.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Stella\u2019s Recommendation of the Week\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019ve been telling myself to update my ICE (In Case of Emergency) contacts for months, like literal months. The last time I updated mine was probably at Eclipse Medical, which tells you how long ago that was. I finally updated mine this Monday when I found myself at the hospital alone after a stranger transported me from the middle of Great Ocean Highway. It was a great reminder for me to update my ICE contacts, and I\u2019m glad I did because accidents happen and you can\u2019t always plan for those! Preparedness is key!<\/p>\n\n\n
