Beer for Bags!
Looks like it's time to dust off the old IHG (in German colloquial, der IthHas) to bring you this exciting offer.
Crumpler Bags of 45 Spring Street or 49 8th Ave (via Australia) is having a beer-for-bags barter event, and it's brilliant. The concept is simple: bring them a certain number of the beers of their choosing, walk away with a messenger bag or laptop case or beanbag chair of yours. Depending on where you buy your beer the exchange rate may vary, but I went to nearby New Beer Distributors (on Christie St between Rivington and Delancey) and spent under $50 to get a Complete Seed bag that retails for $95 plus tax.
Already you're thinking, "great concept, sweet deal," because I've known you for years and you're relatively predictable. But it gets better! When you make your exchange the cashier takes a polaroid of you (if you're smart, the picture will show you drinking a cold beer in the store), and then that polaroid serves as your invitation to a party Crumpler's throwing on Sunday night with all of the beers collected over the week. You and your plus-one are given the opportunity (practically dared!) to drink back whatever beers you traded in.
This is how you will look:
This is how you will get in on Sunday:
Oh, the guy working at the store (and drinking at the Alligator later that night..?) told me they're expecting to have 10,000 beers. So...race!
