official pub crawl pictures

for the past 3 years, as the gray skies and rain start to give way to the sun, i find myself counting down the days to the Ring Around the Needle Pub Crawl. when the day finally comes, it's over in the blink of an eye and i'm left with fond memories and at times, a slight hangover. not this year. no headaches and more than just memories...PICTURES and memories! please join me in thanking Wayne Jung and Nappsack Photos for capturing all of the fun so we can reminisce all year long. his photos are ready for the taking...just click on this link and search away! hopefully he didn't catch doing anything too compromising...then again, hopefully he did! craziness = amazing memories, who cares who sees it!

i'll leave you with a few contact sheets. find some pictures to hold you over until next year!

merch for sale!

these little gems were sold like hot cakes at this year's pub crawl. however, we were a little overzealous when placing our order and we have a few more to sell. these guys need a good home where they will be surrounded by lips of plenty and filled by icy cold beverages of your choice. instead of littering the earth with plastic bottles, you can carry your water in this purple and gold masterpiece. it also works well for all you tailgaters! who wouldn't want to pop one of those pint glasses in the freezer so when you get home from work and need a beer, you have a frosty glass waiting for you! IT'S LIKE A PUB CRAWL AT YOUR HOUSE EVERY DAY!!!

i know what you're thinking, i totally missed my calling; used car salesman. you want one though, so i'll get to the point...

pint glasses are 1 for $8 or 2 for $15
water bottles are $10

the easiest way to get in contact with me is by email:
