Let's collectively breathe a sigh of relief that the chaos of the holidays has subsided, and celebrate the way we really want to - with our favorite beer, some karaoke, and a gift exchange that lets us give away our worst gifts of the season. And also? LET'S WEAR SWEATPANTS!
You heard me. Wear your finest, garbage-est sweatpants. LAZY PEEPS, THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE. We don't want your ugly sweaters. We don't want your Christmas finest. We don't even want to see JEANS. Rock your joggers, your sweatpants, your leggings, your jammies - as long as they're appropriate for small children to see you in public (my 11 year old will be there, don't make it weird), then it's a go. If you do accept the challenge and show up in your sweatpants, you will score your first draft pour for just $1!
We've got a little of everything planned:
π€ Karaoke Bingo starting at 7PM
πΊ The best craft beer on Portage Road south of Center Ave.
π Intergalactically famous smashburgers, pizzas, and more.
π― Friends- old and new.
π Un-Gift Exchange
π So many laughs that your face will hurt
UN-GIFT EXCHANGE DETAILS:
1. Bring your best, worst, favorite, least favorite, most horrifically awesome [new/unopened/unused] gift. Wrap it up (but legit you can shove it in a grocery bag for all we care) and add it to the Land of Misfit Gifts Table when you arrive. Gift value should be a minimum of $10, but no max value. Some of the most amazing gifts of the past have included a Creed CD, bad wall art, an ugly vintage lamp, a beard calendar, and all sorts of other wild gifts. Don't have something horrible in your possession now? Try Goodwill! Or just raid your grandma's attic.
2. After you drop off your gift, take a raffle ticket.
3. At 7pm we'll start drawing raffle tickets during karaoke. This will determine the order in which you can come up and choose a gift from the Land of Misfit Gifts Table. The gifts will all be given out over the course of about 2 hours.
4. Didn't get the gift you wanted? We employ a BYOL policy here - Be Your Own Lobbyist. Wanna bribe someone to give up their gift? Do your thang. You never know what a well placed Rutherford might do to secure you your dream of owning another slipper and sleep mask set!
So get your butts down to Presidential for Sweatpantspalooza on December 26th!
