Small Dog's Ed Shepard at the Dark Knight Premiere in Montpelier, VT!

ByMike Moffit

The movie premiere for the latest installment of the Batman film series was held in Montpelier, VT on Saturday night, and was hosted by Vermont State Senator (and lifelong Batman fan), Patrick Leahy.

Leahy had a charitable motive (the $50 tickets benefitted Montpelier’s town library), but he also had cause to brag a little–he has a part in the movie. Before the premiere, he and Warner Bros. Chairman and CEO Barry Meyer hosted a benefit across the street at the Capital Plaza, and Small Dog’s own Ed Shepard got in on the action.

The Dark Knight premieres nationwide this Friday, July 18, and from what we’ve heard, is well worth the ticket!

  • VT Tax Holiday Is This Saturday, March 6!

    Vermont is having a sales tax holiday this Saturday, March 6! There will be no sales tax on items that cost $2,000 or less. This could save you some serious dough if you’re upgrading your own computer, your family’s Macs, or just want to grab some fun gadgets. The savings can add up, as sales tax in Vermont is 6%, and even 7% in a couple of towns (South Burlington, Williston).

    We’re celebrating with a 24-hour sales event at our South Burlington retail store. The store will open at 12:01 AM and close at 11:59 PM. Our Waitsfield store will be open with regular business hours on Saturday, we’ll have additional telephone coverage, and our warehouse will be busy packing orders all day.

    We’ll be posting semi-delirious midnight tweets and Facebook updates from our Burlington store all night long. Follow us on Twitter as hellosmalldog or friend us on Facebook
