Upcoming: Snuggie Ball for Dining With Friends

No need to worry about renting a tux or shopping for a gown to attend this ball; just bring your blanket with sleeves. On Feb. 20, The Snuggie Ball for Dining With Friends event — benefiting the Regional AIDS Interfaith Network — will feature a charity Snuggie fashion show (pets with Snuggies are welcomed to enter), food courtesy of Cosmos Café, ’80s music spun by DJ Andy Kastanas and a special Snuggie drag performance from BethAnn Phetamine. At 9 p.m., those in attendance will take the Snuggie Walk of Fame to join other Dining With Friends partygoers and finish the evening with desserts and champagne at the McColl Center for Visual Art.
