Super Hero Bar Crawl

Posted by Tara Peterson on Sat, Apr 07, 2012

superherocrawl

That's right. Suit up super heros, because tonight is your night to party. Let the criminals sort things out themselves.

The people have spoken. We're getting ready for our 2nd People's Choice Crawl. RSVP here.

Every year we get dozens of suggestions for bar crawl themes. However, there just isn't enough time for us to plan for them all. So for the 2nd time, we left it up to you. We set up our poll and the results were in favor of a Super Hero Crawl.

We'll be supporting the Cradles to Crayons charity. Crawl in Boston is a social networking group that gives professionals a chance to meet new people in a casual and fun atmosphere. People of all ages have gathered to join the bar crawls, and we’ve raised money  for local charities. We also spread the word about other similar events we’ve heard about, as well as new places and bar/restaurant specials. We’re bringing people together, one drink at a time for local charities.

#740 PILLOW FIGHT!!

Posted by Tara Peterson on Fri, Apr 06, 2012

pillows

Make love, not war and all that. All bets are off today, however, when resident flash-mob impresarios the Banditos Misteriosos present Boston’s International Pillow Fight Day 2012. Then it’s every man, woman, and child for themselves in the coziest battle royale of all time. Five years in, most of ya’ll probably know the drill by now: show up at the designated battleground (TBA), try to keep your “weapon” hidden, and, at the signal, start pummeling everyone around you. No feather pillows, please: while they make for an awesome aftermath scenescape, it turns out the people in charge of cleaning up don’t much appreciate them. It all goes down . . . somewhere . .

Where: To be determined. Click here to find out where - although they will not let you know until a few hours before hand

When: April 7
Price: The cost of a pillow
