Straight From The Snug Sister's Mouth

I've told you all about the joys of Snughood. But really -and any one who knows me well will echo this- what the hell do I know? But as all fundamentally incompetent but basically wise people do, I know the right people to go to for accurate information and the inside skinny. In Snug terms that person is Snug Mistress Carol Braun. And she has this message for you folks sitting on the Snug fence:

Is this Heaven? No, it’s the Snug
Okay you Fest-goer out there – you know who you are. You picked your day last year – got your honey-do list done on the other days - and you saw all the performers you most wanted to see, and you consumed all the Fest food and drink you could take, and you entered that picture of yourself kissing the Blarney Stone in the photo contest, and you learned how to say as well as play the bodhran, and you joined in the kids parade, maybe jumped on the bouncey things, maybe visited the Feis until your ears vibrated from the hard-shoe on wood floor roar, maybe even went to Mass! At some point – say mid-afternoon, walking down Grand towards the Boulevard Stage, you were suddenly enticed by the lovely entrance to the Snug, and then, even more enticed by the glowing interior. You said: Wow, you have an actual bar in there? You have a private bathroom in there? You have free food in there? –What is this place?? You said. And those heavenly Snug girls in their charming & snuggly manner, explained to you about Irish Fest’s private club. They broke down the whole package for you: the 10 drinks of your preference, the Fest admission ticket, the one of a kind Snug shirt, the poster, the raffle prizes, the comfy sofa, even the home-made cookies! And you replied to those Snug girls: What a great deal! Wow, I wish I would have known about it before half of my day here was over! Well darn, next year I’ll do things differently, you said (as you quickly added up everything you’d already spent). Next year I’ll remember: the Snug strategy!!!

Yeah, do it.
