Today is Local News Day
A national day of action to support and celebrate the trusted local journalism that strengthens communities. If you believe local news matters — this is the day to show your support. Make a contribution today to help keep our reporting free and accessible to all.
Put on your jammies this Saturday and head to Coconut Grove for the Great Grove Bed Race and Pajama Pub Crawl. Featured stops on the comfortable crawl will be Grove Spot, Sandbar Sports Grill, Tavern in the Grove, GreenStreet Cafe, Bice Bistro, Crazy Pianos, Taurus, Mr. Moe’s, Barracuda Raw Bar and Grill, and The Bookstore in the Grove. The event is sponsored by Miller Lite and Gold Coast Distributors.
Those who take part are encouraged to embrace the pajama theme, but organizers remind participants — especially those coming from South Beach — that they must adhere to public dress code and all applicable laws for public decency. A valid ID is also required, and you’ll have to sign a group waiver at registration. Not sure what this is about, but it may be a means of preventing lawsuits from potential victims of hit-and-run beds. Plus God only knows what happens when a bunch of inebriated people in pajamas go crawling about. Actually we all know what happens, but, one more time: this is a public gig.
The Crawl starts at 7 p.m.; registration begins at 6:30 and continues until whichever comes first: 8 p.m. or the tickets run out. To register, go to the groovy Grove Spot (on Virginia Avenue behind Cocowalk).
A $25 donation will be asked of participants, 100 percent of the money going to the UM Sleep Medicine Program & Alonzo Mourning Charities.
Suddenly I feel a nap coming on.
