Tonight's the big fundraiser for the Sociedad Protectora de Animales de Zihuatanejo (SPAZ).While the organizers had hoped to hold it in the same place as last year, apparently a few of the residents of Cerro del Vigía didn't want all us riffraff up there, so another venue had to be found.

I WANT THE NAMES OF THOSE RESIDENTS! THEY DESERVE TO BE PUBLICLY SHAMED (and they certainly don't deserve to reside or have properties here).

The SPAZ Fundraiser is being held at the old Bay Club, also formerly known as Tangos, across the street from where Calle Adelita meets La Carretera Escénica La Ropa. So because the place has been unoccupied for years, the folks from SPAZ have been busting their humps getting the property ready, as if they didn't already have enough to do with managing their altruistic organization and running their businesses during the peak of tourist season. I don't know if tickets are still available, but stop by and see if you don't already have one. They might be able to accommodate more folks. They certainly can use the donations. The music is sure to be nothing less than incredible. The event officially starts around 6pm. Hope to see you there!

These hard-working gentlemen want to thank my generous readers for the donated reading glasses.

The sold out SPAZ fundraiser tonight was fabulous!!! If you weren't there you need to make plans for next year, IF we are fortunate to have another one!!!

The music was wonderful, the logistics faultless. We walked out with the crowd right after the event ended, and were handed into literally the next taxi. We were home in less than 5 minutes. Traffic control, greeting committee, flowers, venue, all terrific. The support from the community on the traffic in and out was the best.

The music? How many times can I use Incredible? The food, the people, the volunteer staff, the support? Maybe we need to get married again just to use these resources! (Only kidding)

Thank you all so very very much. DON'T FORGET TO DONATE MORE!!!

OMG Incredible!!!

I 100% agree . A truly wonderful evening benefiting a great local charity . Kudos to all involved for a fabulous job . The logistics of an event at that location had to be a bit tricky with traffic . I too was whisked into a taxi almost immediately . The attention to detail was amazing . I’m sad people considered this well behaved generous crowd and organization not worthy of their neighborhood .

It's hard to imagine that neighbors can block a charity event, but can't put a stop to the blaring racket from the bars.
