2016 Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade

Yesterday was the 26th Annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade — the most popular event on the East Village social calendar!

You may remember from here, and here, and here, and here, and here, and here, that East Village Today has attended this event since its inception — since East Village Today's inception, that is!

Sadly, I must report that I didn't go this year. The weather forecast was for rain, so I stayed inside and watched Archer on Netflix. I have to tell you, that is a funny show!

Anyway, here is a picture of a taco dog I found on the internet, maybe even from this year:

Taco dog.

East Villagers love tacos!

Photographers

The Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade isn't just fun for the dogs, it isn't just fun for the dog owners, it's fun for photographers too!

This is the one day of the year that everyone is a photographer, as you will see here:

East Villagers are already counting the days until next year's dog parade — it's 365!

East Villagers love the Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade!

Frustration

As regular readers of this blog know, I don't like to complain, but I will say that sometimes it's frustrating being an East Village photographer!

This is just a small sampling of what I mean:

But it's for a worthy cause, so I persevere!

Some Dogs

The first of the outtake videos is called "Some Dogs", and that's what it's about!
