Danny Rippe and his family needs your HELP. Danny was in a very tragic accident a few days ago. He has searious burns on 90% of his body. His lungs are burned. All of his hair is gone. At this moment he is in an induced coma so he doesn't have to deal with the pain. Tomorrow nite we will be having a benifit concert to help him and his family. Cantina Habanero will be donating 50% of our dinner sales and the employees will be donating their salaries for the day. Please come in and help Danny and his 5 year old son. There will be several performances by wonderful musicians who will also be donating their tips and performances for Danny. For those of you who are not in Mexico and cannot come to the benifit, a paypal account will be set up so you can help. We will keep you posted. A special note on Danny: This is a very kind and gentle person. We have had the pleasure of knowing him for some time know. Even the company he keeps are way cool kids. His 5 year old son is a gem and does not yet know the seariousness of his father's condition. I know times are tough now. They are for us too. However, this is a tragidy that needs to be addressed asap. I know you will do what you can.
