This is a big week for benefit shows in Olympia. Thursday, Feb. 6, there will be a second benefit show for the 5-year-old girl who was recently attacked by dogs, resulting in a stay at Harborview ICU and the reattachment of her leg. The Hard Way, Fruit Juice, Dirty Malkovich and Elbow Coulee will bring their rock to The Brotherhood Lounge, with D.J. Slimrock spinning between sets.

"It's all about helping this little monkey get back on her feet ... literally," says Christopher Gray, neighbor to Shilo and event organizer. "She's healing fine, but her Mom has had to take a lot of time off work at her minimum wage job to take care of her baby so she needs massive financial support. The fund is sitting at $1,700 but she needs more."

There is another benefit for the 5-year-old girl Friday, Feb. 7, at Al Forno Pizza Cafe featuring music by Dave Randel, Johnny Baltimore, Even Ogden and Mike Burdoff.

And Saturday, Feb. 8, the Fish Tale Brew Pub is hosting a benefit party for its longtime bartendress, Jill Hammond, who is battling ovarian cancer. The Oly Mountain Boys, plus special guests will provide music, and there will be performances by members of Rock Candy Burlesque and Olympia's Own TUSH! Burlesque. There will be a fishbowl raffle, silent auction and more.

"All of us feel that it is important as a part of this community to participate in events like this one and show our support in any way we can," says Bettie Beezlebubb, of TUSH!. "We love performing and if there is a way we can help to raise funds by doing so, all the better. We hope that lots of folks come and show their support for a lovely lady."
