Attack of the Snuggies

Snuggie mania, for better or for much much worse, is here.  The Elmo of this years Holiday season is now being celebrated for the same reasons we all laughed when we first saw the commercials and then contemplated getting one for Mom.  Snuggie Pub Crawls have popped up in New York, Chicago, San Diego, Nashville and now here in San Francisco (I’m sure other cities have also had equally cool Snuggie Crawls).  “Blankets are OK, but they can slip and slide/ and when you need to reach for something, (like a beer) your hands are trapped inside.”

Here’s some pic’s from the NYC Snuggie Crawl.  If you crave more visit www.snuggiepubcrawls.com.

The San Francisco Snuggie pub crawl is the brainchild of Oakland resident Keith Charles F. (he preferred to not give his last name or his occupation – Too many jokes to insert here), 25, and Patricia Prislin, 24, of San Francisco. About a month ago, the pair, who met on Yelp, got to chatting about a similar pub crawl earlier this year in Chicago. (Snuggie pub crawls are a national phenomenon, with forthcoming events in Des Moines, Iowa; Scranton, Pa.; and Burlington, Vt., to name a few, according to Snuggiepubcrawls.com.)

No longer will the Snuggies be relegated to the live at home, Star Wars dorks still trying to bend a spoon with the force.
