“Dear PoP,
I heard there’s a pet costume contest/parade in Petworth this coming Wednesday. Do you have any details? My dog and I are ready to show off our costumes!”
Following is the info from the organizer. I’ll be there as a guest judge so if in anyone wants to bribe me, I’ve been dreaming of some pumpkin pie…

2009 Petworth Dog Walk Halloween
a costume celebration of dogs and owners
Wednesday, October 28, 7pm
@ Domku Restaurant
821 Upshur St NW

Contestants – meet at 6pm at the Clark School (7th and Alison Streets NW) to wear out your favorite pooch, before suiting them up in a great costume. From there, we’ll walk our bedazzled best friends down to Upshur Street where they’ll be judged on:
* Best Doggie Costume – the classic, dress ‘em up!
* Best Twins – Celebrating how dogs and owners can look alike
* Best Trick – Costume or not, show your dog’s skills
— We have prizes for every category! —
The Domku patio will be the reviewing stand and the post-parade party spot. Feel free to print out copies of our flier and take them with you when you’re out walking. When you see a dog + owner, hand them a flier and encourage them to come out as a participant or observer: http://wayan.com/files/

Crap. I have to pick between going to another McMillan Development meeting or this. I’d so much rather go to this!
