Julie's Journal

I had the opportunity to go to the World Premier of Viva Elvis Cirque du Soleil and it was just fantastic! The costumes, and the music, was just amazing. The part that stood out to me the most was the wedding scene between Elvis and Priscilla.

The song, Can’t Help Falling in Love, was sung by a beautiful singer sitting on top of a gigantic wedding cake. On the big screen was a slide show of their wedding pictures. Priscilla sat a few rows in front of us, and I kept looking at her to see her reaction, but she was just smiling. Me, on the other hand, couldn’t stop the tears from flowing. It was very moving.

Okay before it gets way too hot here in Las Vegas, we need to get this Snuggie Pub Crawl excursion underway sometime in March. I had several suggestions for locations, but it seems like the best place to do this would be on Fremont Street. They tend to not stare at freaks that much down there, plus the drinks are cheaper.

So let this post serve as a gathering point for now, and to see how many people we have interested in doing this. Please leave me a comment below if you are interested in attending the Las Vegas Snuggie Pub Crawl, and what weekend this month would be the best for you.

If you don’t have a Snuggie yet, use my affiliate link to purchase one. Yes, I make a little money off your purchases, but I will put this money back into the event to use as a “drink fund.” How’s that?

One of my Twitter buddies @juliafish posted a tweet this morning about the Snuggie Pub Crawls that are happening all around the U.S. Yes, you read that right. People dressing up in their Snuggies and going around to bars and pubs drinking. WOW!

In response to the stunning public embrace of the warm and cuddly Snuggie™, the SnuggiePubCrawl.com Team is hosting the first-ever Snuggie™ Pub Crawl in Chicago. Even though it’s just a blanket with sleeves, we’re sure that you’ll enjoy a winter evening spent drinking with friends and the Snuggie™.

If you don’t see your city listed, you can use the Suggest Another City tool to notify them that you are interested. And yes, all you Las Vegas Beer and Blog people are coming with me! I emailed them, and you’re all doing this with me, even you @408down. I bet @vegasgeek will be all over this adventure! We must do this before the gates of hell open up and bring on the desert heat though. We’d all die of heatstroke.

Whooda thunk that Snuggies were going to take off the way they have? I’m serious! Those damn things come up in at least one conversation a week while talking with my friends. It’s just crazy! And I feel like I’m missing out not owning one for myself. It’s time for me to buy one and especially now that Snuggies are 2 for the price of 1. Then Michael can walk around in the house wearing his with me so I won’t feel like such a freaking dork. Well I won’t feel like the only freaking dork anyway

Now I’m imagining a group of us all clubbing it up in Las Vegas wearing our Snuggies. HAHA! What great pictures that would make! Hmmm, I wonder how those would go over with security at the door. I’m fairly certain there isn’t a NO SNUGGIES clause written in the dress code rules.

Who’s with me?
