Free Snuggie Concert Tuesday Night - Nashville, TN

Later this morning, between 10:30-11:30 AM CST, I will be an in-studio guest on SuperTalk 99.7 WTN in Nashville. We'll be discussing the Snuggie, and specifically this FREE Snuggie Concert scheduled for Tuesday Night, April 7th:

I could not help but notice that light snow is in the forecast for Tuesday Night - this is perfect weather for a Snuggie event. The show will go on as planned, regardless of the weather, so be sure to get your Snuggie and head out to the 5 Spot.

Opening acts will be taking the stage by 8 PM, and then 'Tony Weeks and the Tony Weeks Band, Featuring Tony Weeks' (Best. Band. Name. EVER) will start their Snuggie set at 9 PM (so don't worry about American Idol, Nashvillians - you can grab your Snuggie and head out and still get in on the Snuggie fun).

Everyone wearing a Snuggie will be entered into a drawing to win a Designer Leopard Print Snuggie which will be given away to ONE lucky fan. (Those without a Snuggie are welcome to attend the concert as well).

But why should Nashville have all the Snuggie Fun???

Viva La Chair Explained

The Snuggie Warehouse Guys are Snuggie Sightings Legends. This pic is my cell phone wallpaper and on my Twitter Background, etc.
The Snuggie Warehouse Guys are Legends. This is my cell phone wallpaper and on my Twitter Background, etc.

Some time ago, during the last Snuggie Sighting extravaganza from the Warehouse Guys (aptly entitled 'OSHA Still Hearts the Snuggie in the Workplace'), I noticed a strange reference on a marker board in the background of one of their pics.

[Photo not recovered: Trust Me - this reads 'Viva La Chair']
Trust Me - this reads \'Viva La Chair\'

I had postulated that this obscure reference could have something to do with the TV Show 'Gossip Girl'. This discourse prompted Josh to write in to clear things up regarding 'Viva La Chair'. I now present to you...the Chair de la Viva.

In memory of the Chair (2009-2009)...Viva La Chair

Here is Josh's explanation on 'Viva La Chair'
"A while ago a nearby company threw out a motorized wheelchair. I took it upon myself to get it working. We used that thing all over the place. I put on some "spinners", added some bling and pimped it out. We called it the smile machine, since you couldn't ride it while frowning (similar to the Snuggie). Well, the powers that be told me that it finally had to go since it was 'disrupting work' (whatever that means), so in memory of the chair, we wrote "viva la chair".

So now you know...the rest of the story.

There's Nothing Like the Smell of Fleece in the Morning

Melissa sent this in, along with her note that this was the (and I quote) 'best Snuggie Sighting ever'.

While there is groovy crown moulding and a fire alarm sighting, I don't think I'm ready to call this the best Snuggie Sighting ever. Keep trying, Melissa.

Go Green. Go Snuggie.

Two days prior to the Snuggie Pub Crawl in Dayton, Ohio, the University of Dayton will hold an issue forum on Campus Energy Use on April 16, 2009. Here's a video promoting their Forum.

All I can say is, 'Go Green. Go Snuggie.'
(I thought 'Snuggie Saves the Planet' would be a little over-the-top...and by all means, feel free to write in to share how the Snuggie has reduced your own Carbon Footprint).

The Snuggie as Typing Tutor

Kim used to enjoy whiling away her days playing Solitaire on her computer and Checkers on her purse. Not anymore! Now that the Snuggie has entered her life, she finds that she is much more productive. She now types like a gazillion words a minute (GWPM) as long as she gets her Snug on at work.

[Photo not recovered: Ever since I got my Snuggie, I can type without looking at the keyboard. See!]
Ever since I got my Snuggie, I can type without looking at the keyboard. See!

Emails now go answered, as do the phones. She wears her Snuggie proudly, giving that sideways look to anyone that dares snicker; as if to say, 'I'm wearing a Snuggie. Your sticks and stones can't penetrate this fleecey bad boy'.

Snuggie Snap, Kim.

London Snuggie Sightings

You may remember Monica and Rosie from their Snuggie Adventures at the Gym.

They recently went on a trip to London, and of course they packed their Snuggie.

Snuggie Friday

It is 'Take Your Snuggie to the Office' day. Snuggie Friday is replacing Casual Friday's, now that those Office Air Conditioners are blasting forth.

You Cannot Wand a Delinquent Youth In a Blanket

Snuggie SuperStar, Kristina, wrote in to let me know that you can 'Wand a Delinquent Youth in a Snuggie'. I had not thought of that.
