The Cabin Fever dance party, co-organized and hosted by Zoe Hayes, at her cabin-y home in Toronto, gave me an opportunity to put the snuggies into action, albeit in an already fairly comfortable and safe space-y context. We enlisted other collaborators to create elements of the party, such as Hazel Meyer, who created a chalkboard mural that was the photobooth backdrop, and of course Kaija, Zoe's housemate, a filmmaker, who set up the camera of the Photo Booth and helped in the documentation. Simone Roughouser DJed with me, bringing the heat!!
We decorated their home with quilt aesthetics, such as tissue paper triangles laid over a light box, I brought friendship bracelet-making fixings, which were very popular, and Zoe and I also met a few weeks in advance to make homemade pierogies. Other pocket foods and cozy drinks were in supply, as well as a barrel fire out back.
The snuggies were worn by a few, but they made good use of their attention-grabbing comfort - although honestly I don't think any of my friends who wore them could be categorized as the "shy guy" at the danceparty. The snuggies are ready for a larger scale project! Stay tuned for a final camouflage party in this space before they sadly have to move out this Summer.
