SABATTUS – A woman in a white robe glided past the dance floor and ordered a drink from a mussy-haired bartender dressed from head to toe in red flannel. Nobody seemed to notice.

A man with Spongebob Squarepants pajama bottoms and a leather coat walked in and nodded to someone he knew. He bumped into another man with a striped robe and a black hat. But the moment went unnoticed.

It might have seemed like a bar for social misfits on any other night. On Friday at Mixers, it was a pajama party with adult film star Ron Jeremy as the host. The aim was entertainment and fundraising.

Mission accomplished.

By 9 p.m., a crowd of roughly 200 people filled the bar, maybe one-third of them in evening wear. That didn’t matter much to bar owner Mike Yohe, whose bigger concerns were that everyone was having a good time and each dollar collected at the door would help out a young girl who suffers from cancer.

By 9 p.m., Jeremy had not yet arrived, but more patrons were showing up in dress normally associated with quiet evenings at home.

A young lady with long hair and a terricloth robe cinched at the belt. A lot of sweatpants and T-shirts and more flannel than you will see outside of L.L. Bean.

Each new visitor meant another $2 for the American Cancer Society. Jeremy, the record holder for porn films and a regular fixture on reality television, was expected to arrive at about 10 p.m.

On the dance floor and around the bar, most patrons appeared patient to wait. Some were dressed like they were ready for bed, some were not. A few expressed remorse that they had not tried harder to land the perfect pajama ensemble.

“I really wanted to wear a union suit,” said Jaime Lynn Allie, who showed up in uneventful jeans and a blouse. “But I don’t have one.”
