Surprise: Snuggie Crawl Visiting Literally The Worst Bars In The World, Now “Snuggie-Optional”
Hey, remember SnuggieGate, where we pulled the Snob Card on a bunch of dumb Penn grads who thought it would be funny if they wrapped themselves in a blanket that has arms and visited a bunch of bars and then afterwards gave those blankets to the homeless Because It’s Really All About Giving Something Back? Yeah, well, that is still going on. The Snuggie Ladies emailed us this morning and just look at this route:
2:00pm – 3:00pm: Paddy Whack’s (2nd & South)
3:15pm – 4:15pm: Fado (15th & Spruce)
4:30pm – 5:30pm: Field House (12th & Filbert)
5:30pm – 6:30pm: Tir Na Nog (17th & Arch)
7:00pm – 10:00pm: Public House (Logan Sq.) (3-hour Snuggie-optional open bar)
Or, for those of you who prefer your news in visual form with no words:
It was really the first thing that came to mind. At any rate, and to their eternal credit, the Snugglers have managed to rise to our challenge of raising some dough for Project H.O.M.E. through all of this nonsense — the final open bar at Public House will generate $10 per head for Project H.O.M.E. But still, according to the organizers, some of the bars involved are still dragging their feet on giving an exact percentage of what they’ll fork over. FOR SHAME, Paddy Whack’s, Fado and Tir Na Nog! Then again, we cannot say that we’re surprised. (In the interest of full disclosure, we’ve also made good on our commitment to donate ad space to this here’s-why-the-terrorists-are-right-about-us mess; an ad campaign will launch as soon as the Snug Rugs send it to us.) And finally, say the Snuglets, “We’re going to be on the NBC Philadelphia nightly news at 5:30 PM on November 3 promoting the event as well, and we’ve been told we have to wear our Snuggies on TV — I knew doing this event would bite me in the ass somehow.” Actually, girls, the Ass Bite is the house specialty at Fado — it’s half Guiness, half lowered expectations. Good luck with all that! Yay homeless!

Dear event organizers:
If you’re reading this, I want you to know that this is a terribly stupid idea. Why not just have a cheese steak eating contest to raise money to feed the hungry. What? You don’t see the disgusting irony of the suggestion? I didn’t think so.

So, you ran this update, and now the snuggie people won’t hack Philebs servers again this week. Was that their final demand or will we have to hear more about this moronic event?
Now, off to think up some “charity” event involving the Slap Chop . . . . .

I, for one, welcome our new snuggie leaders.

@tips I’m sure it’s not too late to have someone save you a seat on the 2010 Erin Express!

Dear the jerk, yes, we are reading this. And thanks for your opinion. It matters…
Dearest Philebrity, as for our bar choice… We had to take into consideration the size to which our crawl is growing (thanks to your publicity) and rise to your challenge in finding establishments that would actually donate. You gotta do what you gotta do. And please, do not mistake me for a Penn grad. Representing TU.
