  6. SO very wrong!

    This reminds me of those pajama "hugging" parties that were happening a few years ago, don't know if they still are. Strangers would congregate in various apartments wearing only their PJs, and hug each other. I knew a woman who became addicted to these pathetic gatherings, and I thought she was totally off-the-wall!

    I understand the idea behind this... Or, God. No, no... I'm trying... I remember someone describing it as going to a bar but not drinking.

  9. I think the most ridiculous part of this crawl may not be the Snuggies, but the sequence of bars.

    Why, after SideBar, would one go to two places a few aves east and streets south, only to return to Belmont, which is literally across the street from SideBar? Aren't bar crawls supposed to be sort of directionally sense-making? Are they trying to make people barf?

    These are rhetorical questions of course; we're talking about moronic drunks sporting Snuggies all over the East Village/Gramercy without shame on the first truly warm night of the year.

  10. PS I have worn a Snuggie, but only my mom's when I visit her in Vermont. It has a howlin'-wolves-in-the-mountains print all over it, and I love to put it on and spin around mom's house doing a rendition of Cher's "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves."

    ev'ry night the men would come around, and lay their money doooown...
