Totally exciting news: Conan O'Brien is going on tour. He's bringing his Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour Seattle to Seattle. The tour's includes music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence -- all the elements that made Late Night with Conan O'Brien a consistent joy. He'll be at the Marion Oliver McCaw Hall in Seattle Center on April 18. It was a real bummer to see the comic genius of Conan get bumped off the air by Jay Leno's meaty, unfunny fist. But if it means we'll get to see him perform live, well, we guess we can live with it. more ›

Having volunteered for nearly four years, Kemner has witnessed countless success stories including that of an 11-year-old cat whose owner had planned to euthanize her. Purrfect Pals stepped in, saving the cat's life and finding it a fantastic new home. Kemner believes volunteering is important because it allows you to give back to your community. "I would encourage everyone out there to volunteer, whether it's with Purrfect Pals or another organization, giving yourself to a good cause feels so great!" If you would like to get involved you may volunteer at one of the many local PetSmart or PetCo Adoption Centers as well as at the main shelter in Arlington. Financial contributions as well as donations of supplies like cat food and blankets are also greatly appreciated. more ›
