PC Magazine has named SnuggieSightings.com one of their Favorite Blogs of 2009. Many thanks to everyone who has submitted a photo or video this year of their Snuggie Sightings. An award such as this, while not quite as epic as a Leg Lamp, is a testament to the creativity and humor of Snuggie fans worldwide.
Stay Snug, and here's to getting on the list in 2010.
Here's the latest College Snuggie Sighting - the Auburn Snuggie
Here's the latest College Snuggie Sighting! University of North Carolina Tar Heels - a College Snuggie Siesta (and yes, this is the guy who used to be on 'The Real World')
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???

Although this site's photos did not make the editorial cut to appear in the Italian Fashion Magazine Gioia magazine. It did get mentioned by Carole Hallac, in her article related to the Snuggie Cultural buzz in the States, Snuggie Pub Crawls, and a little website called SnuggieSightings.com. Thank you, Carole Hallac and Gioia Magazine.

Also, I created this video using Photodex ProShow Producer. A site visitor pointed this software out to me and I'm grooving on it so far. I am just beginning to figure it out and added the reflection down at the bottom of the video. There's a lot more it can do that I hope to implement in the upcoming Month 2 Thank You Video Montage which I'm currently working on. (This website turns 2 months old tomorrow...Happy Birthday to SnuggieSightings.com!)
Many of you ultra-cool people discovering SnuggieSightings.com for the first time have found us through Life&Style Weekly magazine. We want to extend a warm welcome to you, and provide you with a familiar face; that of our Snuggie Wizardess, Brook, who appeared in today's (hot of the presses) Oscar Edition of Life&Style Weekly Magazine.
Be sure to check out Brook's original appearance - Snuggie Wizardess Pins 900 Pound Fleur-de-lis to Wall.
Brook can do more than hoist boat anchors and rearrange Stonehenge with her powers.
She can also cast Fireballs, as pictured here at the local park.
Brook spends her days teaching her class a great illustration in comparison and contrast - case in point, her lesson on the Snuggie vs. the Blanket.
We must take a closer look at the board...
Yesterday we posted our first ever Snuggie Public Service Announcement (PSA) - Friends Don't Let Friends Wear their Snuggie Backwards. In that article, we chronicled the plight of Brian, who although well-intentioned, was wearing his Snuggie backwards. Here is how we last saw Brian, before his life was forever changed by the Snuggie PSA:
Brian was checking the site to see if his submission was accepted, not realizing the error of his ways. Fortunately he had his web cam set to capture the moment of his newfound fame.
Brian humbly turned his Snuggie around. His life is now whole. The lighting in his room even improved. See for yourself...

Thank you to everyone that has sent in their Snuggie Sightings during month #1. Many thanks as well to all of the Emails, Tweets, Links, and Media Coverage that has given me more 'Warm Fuzzies' than I could ever return. This short walk down memory lane is a small token of my appreciation to each and every one of you. I could never do this without you, and I could never do this in a blanket!
The video was created using the amazing online tool Animoto, with music provided by Jay Condiotti - "I Made You Smile" (aptly titled, for this is the goal of the site).
Earlier today we hit the top spot on Google Trends. Here's a Tweet from dailygratitudej mentioning our top ranking.
