A Word of Thanks...

Good morning to you on a drippy Friday.  Hope you're all doing well and have great plans on tap for the weekend.  Hopefully the weather eases up and allows us some outside time.

For those of you who don't know, we just had a fantastic comedy fundraiser at Gotham this past Wednesday.  We generally offer up a comedy event every month and totally appreciate the growing support everyone is giving us.

These events allows us to raise money for needy animals and to help change their lives for the better.  With that being said, we are very proud to announce that we had a Sell-out show this past week and want to thank those who attended (along with the great comedians who dedicated their time) for coming down.

Our mission is far from over, but with continued support like this, we will keep making a difference over and over again.

BTW.....

Please join us for our next JOINT Bobbi and the Strays/Stewie to the Rescue comedy fundraiser on Wednesday, March 16th @ 8pm. We've assembled an All Star line-up of comics, including...

ALEX BARNETT (CNN.com)

BRIAN CICHOCKI (Comedy Pilot "Crash Life")

REESE WATERS ("Live at Gotham")

KAREN BERGREEN (Comedy Central)

JEFF CALDWELL (Late Show w/ David Letterman)

and hosted by ...

HARRIS BLOOM (Founder and President of Stewie to the Rescue!)

The cover charge is $15 (all of which goes to Stewie to the Rescue! and Bobbi and the Strays) and a two-drink minimum.

There will also be a raffle!

Thanks and hope to ya there there!

An Offer You Should't Deny.....

Hello friends and neighbors.  Hope you're all doing well and enjoying the arctic chill in the air.  Nothing like a few semi-warm days and then the reemergence of subzero temperatures to give you a nice shock to the system, huh?

Well, hypothetically, Spring is around the corner, so I guess that's good, right?

You know what else is good (Cue blatant event tie-in!)?  Enjoying some fantastic comedy which will go to benefit needy animals!!!  Duh!

Tommorrow, Wednesday the 23rd is the time to do just that.  If you haven't secured your tickets, now is the time, folks.  Come down to Gotham Comedy Club at 8 p.m. tomorrow and join in on some big laughs and help so animals who desperately need your help.  Lives are at stake, so don't miss this!!!

There's no better way to spend Hump day than with Stewie.

TTYS,

That Dog is a Punk!

Some people got it.  They were always the favorite.  Always the popular kid in school, at work, or at the bar.  They smile, they say the right thing, and they are the person that you've always wanted to be.

On the other side of that equation...well...there's me..lol.  I'm not the popular kid.  I'm not the one who smiles or makes nice.  I'm not the one who tries to win everyone's favor or be in the spotlight.  I'm the punk.

Now being a punk isn't to say that you're a bad person.  I've known several punks who were incredibly nice.  Speaking for myself, I can say that despite my glum, harsh, somewhat menacing exterior, there is a slightly likable guy in there somewhere.

Now, that being said...lets connect this to a topic that actually involves animals, okay?  Okay!

You're probably asking yourself...."hows he gonna tie this all together?"

Well, with THIS ARTICLE of course!  This article focuses on dogs in terms of socializing and even gives some advice as to how get them to join in a little more.  It even focuses upon those darn "punk" dogs and gives an insight as to why they might be so anti-social.  Worth a read.

Good tie-in, right?

Know how you can better socialize yourself (here comes another tie-in!)?  Well, by attending a fantastic comedy event that will improve upon animal's lives (This past weekend, Stewie to the Rescue helped pay for the surgery for a 2 year old Yorkie who had an intestinal blockage) and will give you some laughs in return.


Be there or be square, folks:

Horror in Rockville Centre....

Hey folks, quite sorry that the blog has been somewhat inconsistent.  My grandmother (who also might be a terminator, but not bent on altering history or anything) just had some health issues and had to tend to her.  Honestly, its not like she needs tending to, though.  She's 91 and pretty damn tough and sharp, so I was there for moral support.  Anyhow, things are looking better, so here I am.

Before I get started, I want to thank everyone who attended our last fundraiser at Gotham for coming out despite the craptastic weather.  It was a great show and we also want to thank the comics who came out and dedicated their time, along with the amazing restaurant, Rao's, which dedicated a gift certificate for two for our raffle.  Thanks to all!

I'm not sure if you guys heard about this or not, but here is a horrific story that's been circulating around my native Long Island.  It occured in Rockville Centre and the events were horrific.  What kind of people do something like this?

CLICK HERE to check out the article.  If you are interested in adopting any of these animals, its been said the best number to do so is: 516-785-5220, which is the Hempstead Town Shelter.
