Should there be a dress code for the Pajama Pub Crawl?

At first it had been thought that a red light district might be interesting as a concept to promote the Great Grove Bed Race. The black booths are just standing there and it came up that maybe thy could be decked out in red lace and light and a scantily clad man or woman could hand out info and Bed Race info for a week leading up to the Pajama Pub Crawl and then Bed Race, but now that idea has been scrapped.

Now the Pajama Pub Crawl has been curtailed in a way because of a dress code.

It didn't seem so bad to have a dress code when I was sitting there at the committee meeting, mostly it was a concern of the Alonzo Mourning Charities, who thought this is not the image they want to portray for their charities,

But then again, the Pub Crawl is on a Saturday night, involves liquor, bars and the whole scene that that conjures up. Is a flimsy nighty or two going to make the event any less child-proof or less dignified? It's a wild Pub Crawl. It's the Grove. Children should be home and in bed, not hanging out in the Grove on a Saturday night.

The next day, the day of the actual Bed Race, there are many events for children incorporated into the day. So maybe the rules on the Pajama Pub Crawl dress should be to have no rules. This could be a great thing for the Grove.

In the Grove, we take two steps forward and three steps back.
