Wednesday Update I’ve got good news, bad news and really good news about 9/16 Touch ‘Em All Pub Crawl. The good news is that we're including two more free craft beers at our final stop. The bad news is that some folks had problems buying our early bird tickets yesterday. So the really good news is that we’re extending the early bird ($30/$15) price for one more day (buy it here). Here’s all the news: Our third and final stop will be at Brother’s Bar & Grill, where you’ll get a free 612 Brew craft beer. In addition, you’ll get a chit for a free beer (BOGO) at your next visit to 612 Brew. And of course that’s on top of the free Three Olives premium vodka drinks you’ll get at the first two stops: Ray J’s American Café and The Loon Café. Plus you’ll get a free Pick and Shovel t-shirt AND a ticket with us to the Twins Game versus the Blue Jays. Finally, you’ll be talking Twins with Seth, Parker, Nick, Aaron, John and one hundred other Twins fans and writers. And for tomorrow only, it’s still just $30. And sales end on Friday. Get yours here. TUESDAY STORY Today is your chance for you and your friends to get the early bird discount ticket for 9/16's Touch 'Em All Pub Crawl RIGHT HERE. Don't forget, this special $30 price ($15 if you have your own Twins ticket) lasts just one day. In addition, we're able to announce the Three Olives Vodka will be sponsoring the crawl and providing premium vodka cocktails at each of the first two stops! Here are more details: You get: 1. An exclusive "From Worst To Thirst" t-shirt from Pick and Shovel (value $25) 2. A free Three Olives premium vodka drink of your choosing at Ray J's American Cafe. ($6, 1st stop, noon-2:00 PM). 3. A free Grape Ape, the The Loon Cafe's signature drink make with Three Olives premium vodka. ($6, 2nd stop, 2:00-4:00 PM). 4. Yet one more stop with free drinks to be announced on 8/30 (value $12, 3rd stop 4:00-6:00). 5. A ticket to the 9/16 6:00 Twins game vs. the Toronto Blue Jays (value $16). Sales end Friday the 1st, but the special $30 price is only available on 8/29. So grab your fiends and join us now! MONDAY STORY From Worst to Thirst. Twins Daily’s annual “Touch ‘Em All” Pub Crawl will take place Saturday, 9/16, and tickets will be available for an early-bird sale 8/29 for ONE DAY ONLY. You will want to spend today rallying your friends, because for $30, you’ll be able to get a Twins ticket ($16), a limited edition Pick & Shovel T-shirt (picture, value $25) and … we'll be announcing at least another $20 worth of great stuff tomorrow and Wednesday. You (and your crew) will not be disappointed. This is a legendary event. It is 100-200 people. It has included Wally the Beer Man. It has included a mascot race. It has included an IN-GAME round bought by Glen Perkins. God knows what it will include this year, but at the very least, it includes a playoff race. It is a glorious mess. But it is also a VERY limited opportunity. Tomorrow, Tuesday the 29th, before we’ve even announced all the stuff you get, is the last time you’ll be able to buy tickets for $30. And if you don’t get a ticket at full price ($40) by Friday, you’re just out of luck. (We would love to keep it open, but we need to order the fantastic t-shirts.) So call your friends. It is a pub crawl, it is a glorious September afternoon in Minnesota, and it is a pennant race. (And it is also great deal.) You and your friends do not want to miss this. We'll see you back here tomorrow.
