Stormy weather

So, if you’ve been outside in the past week (and if you haven’t, Bwog salutes you) you’ve probably noticed that the weather has taken a turn for the dismal. Every day brings a fresh struggle over which accessories to wear – umbrella, sweater, rain boots, sunglasses, mink stole… The soul grows fatigued. Tonight however, shitty October weather will prove itself good for something other than making your hair frizz out to the size of a small dog. Bwog has harnessed the power of precipitation so that you and your friends can responsibly enjoy a rainy night of drinking.
