Snogo in the Wild SITW December 2022
Season’s Greatings!
It’s SNOGO In The Wild’s first ever holiday edition so…we chose a story that has absolutely nothing to do with the holidays.
Here it is, from Natalia:
“Love the SNOGO In The Wild idea!
I was at the Zamna party in Tulum in 2020 for the Boris Brejcha show. I’d had a nightmarish time getting to the show with lost baggage, and mix-ups with meeting my friend before the show, so I ended up going alone.
I got into the party and was in a pretty off-head space, so opted to take a moment to chill and regroup before hitting the dance floor. I found a nice spot in the back to just get into the groove. I was wearing my SNOGO, and to my great surprise, there was a group of people nearby chatting and laughing, and ALL THREE OF THEM were wearing SNOGOs! WTF!
I went over and said hello and showed off my SNOGO. We all did a big SNOGO cheers and the night was totally reset for me! It truly did feel like we were part of a secret club or something. I ended up spending the whole night with them, and we are friends to this day! Love my SNOGO! THANK YOU!”
No Natalia, thank YOU! And btw, I freaking LOVE that you guys did a big SNOGO cheers! It’s like it’s instinctual, right? Anyhow, although that story wasn’t about the holidays, it was exactly what I needed to hear this time of year. It reminded me of a research study I once read about. The study found that, despite the old saying “Money can’t buy happiness”, when money is used to buy “experiences” it can make people happier.
Take Natalia’s story, it wasn’t the SNOGO straw that saved the day, it was the people she met and the friendships she made. In other words, it was her experience.
Fact is, none of the SITW stories are about straws itself, they’re about the ‘wild’ experiences they’ve led to. So no, this is not a shameless plug for SNOGOs, it’s actually the opposite. I think we should all put down our shopping lists and do exactly what Natalie did: look up, find some friendly faces, and have some serious FUN.
…And if that FUN leads to a great story, we want to hear it! (This is a shameless plug) Send it to SNOGO In The Wild! You might score yourself a Dope-AF SNOGO cap.
Holiday hugs to all! Rage safely!
