Who all is going to Broadway Barks on Saturday? Which stars do you hope to see? Will you be adopting a pet or bidding on any of the celebrity merchandise?
I didn't realize it started so late. If I get out of work early enough to catch a reasonable train, I might be able to swing it. It's such a worthy cause too.

Yeah, I thought it started late morning originally though. So that's why I thought it wasn't going to be worth my time.

Question, what time are people getting there? I've never been to one of these before. I know Bernadette is signing books at 1 (which I'm not going to) and the dog/cat booths are open at 3:30, and the bway people come at 5:30. If I'm not getting my book signed and I'm not adopting a puppy tomorrow any suggestions on what time I should get there to watch the festivities?

I'm definitely not going to get there until 4 or later, but that's okay. I just find events like this fun. It's just a good way of meeting people with the same passion as me, because I do work with a shelter in Jersey.

I'm back from the event. There were a loooot of Broadway stars there, a lot of people, and a lot of adorable animals! Does anyone know why Lauren Graham didn't show up? Anyway, I'm sure others will have much better photos to share, but a favorite photo I took is posted above. And my other photos are here: http://community.webshots.com/album/573464618ZSzKia Updated On: 7/11/09 at 08:03 PM
I took pictures too, which I will attempt to get off my phone later. I, stupidly, forgot to charge my real camera, but that's besides the point.
I reall liked the event, Broadway Barks is a remarkable organization! I also love Mary Tyler Moore and spent a semester working on a research paper on her, so seeing her live and buying an autographed script of "Chuckles Bites the Dust" was the most amazing thing imaginable! All of the dogs - and the humans bringing them onstage - were so adorable! (especially Snoopy!). I hope they reached their goal in money raised and adoption!
the one thing that bothered me (and I know I'm not alone and there isn't anything one can do about it) was being on my feet for 4-5 hours so I could get and keep a good spot. (then once I got it, I was stuck behind a tall guy who ended up in all my pics, and a really rude, mean man who I wanted to sic Toxie on if he said one more mean thing about the event). So if this thread pops up next year, know to get there early and bring food!
I will post some of my semi-decent pics later, and charge my camera!

I was there, and it was great. I think one of my favorite dogs was Bagel. I have way too many photos to post, but I won't worry about that until tomorrow.

I like your photos. I thought that was you on stage holding some of the dogs.
