Ellie from Channel 15 News visited MCM this morning to get the scoop on tonight's Dog Days event!

You can take home a one-of-a-kind drawing of your pet and enjoy a variety of dog-themed activities at a Madison Children’s Museum event to help support museum access for other families.

That's right, friends, Adult Swim will have local celebrities — including Cooper Talbot & Beth Kille from Girls Rock Camp; Mel of WORT FM's Mel & Floyd show; Noel Johnson, owner of Bad Dog Frida; Jason Joyce, publisher of Isthmus; and Ollie DiPietro, co-founder of The Big Gay Market — drawing pet portraits to the best of their questionable artistic abilities. Just bring a photo of your pet & make a donation to one of our partner nonprofits, and you can take home a masterpiece!

Big thanks to Cooper Talbot & Beth Kille for making this excellent promo vid for us!

Intergalactic fun fact: mixology supergiant Mike McDonald at Stateline Distillery creates signature cockails for every Adult Swim, and this time he's outdone himself! The Espresso Stardust features State Line apple brandy & coffee liqueur, Dutch cocoa, sakura bitters, and Twinkle-Twinkle edible glitter (and it's much more sparkly when you see it in person). The Radiant Raspberry includes State Line light rum, lime, raspberry, falernum, orange liqueur, and Bittercube cherry bark vanilla bitters. We got a preview of both, and can confirm that they're both out of this world!

Your ticket to Cosmic Prom featuring VO5 includes a free drink! Get your tix today at www.MadisonChildrensMuseum.org
