??!! / Nightlife / Drunk Snuggie™ Pub Crawl: IT'S HAPPENING!

Posted by on Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 2:00 PM

At last—tomorrow night!—IT'S HAPPENING: Seattle Snuggie™ Crawl '09 in beautiful Ballard. Finally! It's not really even Snuggie™ season anymore. EXCEPT IN OUR HEARTS.

Rules include:

1. BYO Snuggie*. Yes, you must wear a Snuggie. Even the paparazzi covering this event are expected to wear Snuggies. Show up without one at your own risk. We won’t take violation of this rule lightly.

2. Be creative with your Snuggie! You are encouraged to bedazzle or otherwise wow everyone with some sort of Snuggie fashion statement.

3. Slankets and other kinds of blankets with sleeves are completely welcome. The “Snuggie” in Snuggie Fest is being used colloquially as a genericized trademark, like Jell-O or Kleenex. Even homemade numbers are fine. But see Rule #1. Dress code is a blanket with sleeves. Don’t stray too far from the concept!

4. Treat all hosting waitstaff and barstaff with respect and tip them! Serving a marauding drunken band of fools in Snuggies isn’t easy.

5. Please bring food for Northwest Harvest.... Let's help others while having a great time.

Like Snuggie™ says, "Blankets are OK but they can slip and slide, plus your hands are trapped inside"—inside, where they cannot convey a beer or other alcoholic beverage to your mouth. It's just not right.

All the details for Seattle Snuggie™ Crawl '09 may be found here.

I hope they have security. There's a few places in Ballard that aren't going to take too kindly to these idiots. Are Snuggies flammable?

anything is flammable, big toe, if you douse it with enough 151

In the recent Snuggie crawl in SF, there were some neat altered Snuggies: http://tinyurl.com/dkvvfw

I still say whoever brings the free booklight/lamp you get with a snuggie should get a free shot of booze.

I might go if other people were going. Oh, and all I have is a bathrobe.

This thing I have is sort of like a Snuggie but also sort of like a condom. It kind of does both. It's hard to explain. I can post a picture if that would help.

Monique, if you haven't tried New Guarana Pomegranate Haterade, don't knock it.

Elenchos: I really, really don't want pictures.

Sweet, you guys picked the night of the Ballard Jazz walk. There's going to be a super high proportion of people that will not get the joke and ridicule you (if they are the typical upper income jazz baby boomers I know them to be). Mission Accomplished.

OK, this is definitely 'Stuff White People Like'

I have a Slanket, and I love it. The Snuggie is but a cheap, pale, annoyingly ubiquitous imitation.

The feeling of a snuggie on one's skin reminds me of the feeling of a freshly shorn scrotum! Tonight's event should be a blast!
