A.D. adopts a greyhound, misses Chase Utley's pro-animal event

A.D. adopts a greyhound, misses Chase Utley's pro-animal event
I couldnÂ’t get to the 3rd Annual Utley All-Star Animals Casino Night that Jen and Chase threw the other night at the Electric Factory with the venueÂ’s host Larry Magid. I was busy adopting a greyhound that we named Django. Yay me. Yay Django.
That said, over 450 attendees hung with Phillies’ Ryan Howard, Shane Victorino, Jayson Werth, Cole Hamels, Jimmy Rollins and Brian Schneider. There were a few non-ballers at the Factory, too, such as Larry and Mickey Magid, 76ers top dogs Billy King and wife Melanie, U.S. Olympic speed skater Allison Baver and Stephen Starr — all who helped raise $284,000 for the Etana Fund to Stop Cruelty Against Animals.
Though the silent auction was packed with cool packages such as a dinner in your home with chef Matthew Levin, a Kings of Leon “Experience” at the Borgata, a hang with violinist Joshua Bell when he plays with the Philly Orchestra and player-designed plaster dogs decorated by members of the Phillies, my favorite item came during the live auction — a walk-on movie role in the next Farrelly Brothers movie, Walter The Farting Dog that garnered $9,500.00. (The night’s PR peeps Cashman & Associates said the buyer wanted to remain private.) If your neighbor says he’s doing a dog flick, call me.
“We're adopting a dog, too,” said Electric Factory’s Larry Magid the day after the affair. “Love greyhounds. They're cool.” Magid’s up to a few other cool things this week — booking Hole and Phil Collins at the Factory for June, bringing in a press flack. Look for more Magid and Django in Icepack on Thursday.
