 | | NEWSLETTER - Friday 29 May 2009 | | | | | |  FANG'S PET OF THE WEEK | | | *Jack & Russell* | | Greg @ One Green Bean | Jack & Russell are two, well, Jack Russells! They are 3 & 5 years old respectively and refuse to be separated, particularly when it came to Fang's Pet of the Week. Both dogs are gentle souls with an indelible thirst for adventure, chasing after tennis balls, shadows, and rabbits (neither have ever actually caught one though). Jack can only sleep on his back, and more often than not Russell ends up using Jack’s stomach as a pillow. Russell was found abandoned on a highway as a pup with a broken tail, and even though it healed it’s still bent, making him look super cute when he wags it. And if both dogs are agitated, grab your coat...a storm is coming!
Jack & Russell have won themselves a fab accessories pack from DOOG and a copy of Dr Chris Brown's Tales from a Bondi Vet! Please submit your pets to Fang via the "Submit Pet of the Week" button at www.socialdiary.com.au. | |  | |  | | News this Week | | | | **Member Offer, Ballet Tickets - Melbourne!**

I am pleased to announce that social pages will be returning to the Daily Telegraph in the coming weeks but in a totally different format! Centering more on weekend events, I am interested in knowing anything that is hot and happening on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday night and, managers, agents and publicists, where your talent are heading to have a good time. The new column will appear every Monday. Please call or email me and we’ll work something that suits both of us - can’t wait to hear from you!

Anyone representing a great cafe/casual restaurant at a Jetstar destination (see site) that serves super soups, please let me know. This needs to be somewhere where diners are welcome to just pop in for a bowl of soup - not fine diners with soup as entrees.
If you represent such a spot please send me:
-cafe/restaurant name, address, phone & website
-nearest Jetstar destination and how close -which soups are on the menu, the price and why they're great
-a paragraph about the venue (1 para only)
-a couple of high res (1-5MB) pics of people in the venue - preferably enjoying a bowl of steaming hot soup!
