Three things:
First, look how organized I am making lists and stuff I'M AMAZING SHOWER ME WITH COMPLIMENTS AND GOLD.
Second, my friend Andrea listened to the Strangerville episodes on the refugee crisis a while back (you can find them here and here) and because she's an amazing person who will be running the cafeteria in heaven (heaven's most coveted job, 3 trillion years in a row), she decided to do something about it. Andrea has organized a little charity event to raise some money for an organization that sends people and resources to the border to aide traumatized women and children.
Andrea gathered some local people who will be performing music. She asked Meg and me if we would sing and I was like YES MEG AND I WOULD LOVE TO PERFORM I GOT YOU BABE TOGETHER but then Meg was like I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ELI AND I ARE CONNECTED and I was like THEN YOU ARE MAKING A LOT OF VERY CONFUSING CHOICES IN YOUR LIFE.
Anyway, Meg is going to host the show and I'm going to tell a story and you guys should all come. It's in Riverton, Utah on June 22. It will be a very relaxed evening. I think there may be a silent auction as well. All proceeds from tickets and any other donations will go to the charity. So come! It will be fun! You can find more info through the Facebook event page HERE and the Eventbrite ticket page HERE.
And third, we are going to do Strangerhood of the Traveling Snuggie again because I mentioned it last week and said that maybe we could get it started again since the last Snuggie got stolen by ISIS, and then everyone on the entire internet was like HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT NOT DOING THIS AGAIN THIS IS ALL WE LIVE FOR. So here we go.
For a refresher, Strangerhood of the Traveling Snuggie started in November of 2017. We sent a blue snuggie on a great journey. Each person quickly took a creative picture in the snuggie and then mailed it off to the next person. It made it through a couple dozen people and about eight states before it got lost by the post office. Now some postal worker's wife is gardening in it in Ohio.
We are starting over. I'm disregarding the old list because every one of you has moved 12 times and 30% of you are now in the witness protection program. So if you want to participate this time, email me by the end of the week your address (itjustgetsstranger@gmail.com).
If you email me your address, that means you are committing to A. Let me give your address to someone so they can ship you a snuggie, B. Take a fun picture of the snuggie, C. Ship the snuggie to someone else, and D. Do all of that quickly so Amy Rose and the Suzzzzzz don't have to sit at home waiting for very long because you know how they get when they have to wait for something. They get concerned.
Eventually I will share your pictures on Stranger. Let's see how far and wide we can get the snuggie to go!
~It Just Gets Stranger
May we embellish the snuggie, Eli? Small bits of embroidery, bedazzling, patches...
ReplyDeleteYESSS this would be so cool!
DeleteI just assumed that was a requirement per the comments on the first volume of the traveling Snuggie.
DeleteI obviously support tasteful bedazzling.
DeleteAmy Rose truly does get concerned when she has to wait. Haha.
ReplyDeleteAnd anonymous, that's a pretty sweet idea!
Ahaha you could send TWO snuggies and we'll decorate them and send them back for you and Skylar to wear for a wedding photoshoot! Love the idea of Strangers making them fancy :)
ReplyDeleteI get ANXIOUSSSSSSSSSS. And concernnnnnnnned. And picture me doing the shrug emoji right now because I don’t know why all the extra letters.
ReplyDeleteThat spelling of anxious makes me overly anxious. What is anxious so hard to spell?
DeleteYou can all thank me now, I am NOT signing up for this. I always have the best of intentions, and then I mess it up for everyone. We had something going around an online community years back, and it stopped at my house for FOUR YEARS before I finally got around to sending it on. I'm terrible at this sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteNow we all know where the previous traveling Snuggie is . . .
DeleteJoke's on you, I specifically didn't sign up for the last one for the same reason! It's good to know one's own limitations.
DeleteDefine tasteful.
ReplyDeleteAs Gaudy as God allows
DeleteWait! Do we sign up for it again if we received the first one??

DeleteAs an Ohioan, I am deeply embarrassed that the snuggie did not make it past the great state of Ohio. As a result, I am signing up and will personally deliver it to Kentucky. So we don’t get blamed. Again.
