The Snuggie pub crawl: the blanket with sleeves also has legs!
Posted on Wed Feb 25 2009
Just when you thought it was safe to read a Snuggie-free BrandFreak, the wearable blanket rears its fleecy forearm once more.
The New York Daily News reports that the idea of the Snuggie pub crawl—a tour of one's local drinking establishments while dressed in the vile monk-like garment—has been hatched in Chicago, and may soon spread to New York and elsewhere. "It provides an opportunity to act silly, have some drinks and forget everything that's going on right now," says 32-year-old Michael Gallagher, who's helping to organize the first such crawl, set for April 18 in Chicago, as a fundraiser for a Tanzanian orphanage. (What?) "I have been an at-home Snuggie user, but I'm excited to become an in-public Snuggie user," Gallagher says.
Interest has also been building for Snuggie pub crawl in NYC. If that happens, expect to see Al Roker and his Today show buddies decked out in their blueberry- and blood-flavored Snuggies.
