$\"\"$ <\/a>If you’re looking for something to do tonight, put on a Snuggie, the blanket with sleeves, and come to the second annual Snuggie Pub Crawl Downtown.<\/p>\n

The money raised from the crawl will be donated to Amelia’s Voice<\/a>, a charity trying to raise awareness for a rare disease that causes tumor-like growths on vocal chords. As of now there is no known cure and Amelia, a child affected by the disease and the namesake of the charity, has to have regular laser surgeries to keep the tumors from spreading to her lungs, which would be fatal.<\/p>\n

The events starts at Kooky Canuck, an excellent place to kick it off. I love those 34 ounce beers! Check-in is at Kooky from 6 to 7. If you previously ordered tickets, you can pick them up at a will-call desk. If you haven’t bought an advance ticket and want to participate, best advice is to show up as close to 6 as possible, because there will only be a limited number of tickets left.<\/p>\n

After we leave Kooky, the next stops are as follows:<\/p>\n

7:00: B.B. King’s
\n8:00: Club 152
\n9:00: Silky’s
\n10:00: Rum Boogie Cafe
\n11:00: Alfred’s<\/p>\n

There will be awards for best costume – men’s, women’s, and group, and best in show. Wonder what Puckett has planned for this year? Can he top the Samurai Snuggie of 2009?<\/p>\n

There will also be bingo at the various bars, with the first five people turning in completed bingo cards at Alfred’s winning prizes.<\/p>\n

In only its second year, this has become one of Memphis’ most highly anticipated pub crawls. Come join us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
