Hey Crawlers,
We are days away from the Back to School Crawl presented by Crawl In Boston and Sumo Skinny. The weather forecast calls for a beautiful day in the mid 70’s. We’re looking forward to some great memories and meeting new friends this weekend.
We’ll have stations set up at each bar where you can register and make your $5 (or more!) donation to The Pink Agenda. With your donation you will receive a beverage koozie, nametag and wristband that will get you the drink specials throughout the crawl, plus you won’t have to pay cover at any of the bars. Your donations mean so much, and we’re so appreciative of how generous our Crawlers are. We will have very limited change so please have the exact amount of money you wish to donate available. We do get plagued by the ATM curse, especially at the first bar, and we may not have change.

2:00 – The Point – Freshman Year – Spiked Punch ($3)
3:00 – Paddy O’s – Fraternity Party – Dos XX & Miller Light Draft ($2)

Our partner groups have exciting news to share as well:
Our friends at Sumo Skinny (http://www.sumoskinny.com) are doing giveaways this month. If you sign up in the month of September you are entered to win 2 Patriots tickets, a $25 Charlie Card and other goodies.
Indoor Mini Golf is coming to Boston (http://puttinboston.com). League play begins on September 22nd for this 6 week season. Teams will consist of 2 players and the course will include 9 holes.
The Pub Pong League begins on September 23rd (http://socializeinboston.com/pong-in-boston). 2 games per week over a 6 week season. It comes out to only $16 per person for the season, plus you get your first beer on me each week. We’ll have food and tons of weekly prizes.
Thanks to everyone for playing. We had a really good time. Congrats to That’s Boc-CE said! for winning the summer league championship.
As many of you know, we’re taking a bocce hiatus this fall to launch our
mini golf http://puttinboston.com/
and beer pong http://socializeinboston.com/pong-in-boston
leagues. We will be back in January for a winter season. Hope to see you then if not before.
As I was walking home last night, I was thinking who would win in a match between our current champs, That’s Boc-CE said! and our spring champs, De-BoCce-Ry. Would love to see that match this winter. I thought so more and realized they have a ton in common.
1. Team Name – They both spell their team names with hyphens and random capitalized letters “De-BoCce-Ry” vs “That’s Boc-CE said”
2. Team Color – They both wore the same cornflower light blue color
3. Team Record – They both finished with identical 8 – 1 records
4. Team Makeup – They both had 2 girls and 2 guys on their roster
5. Team Finish – They both defeated Bocced Boob Job in the finals to win the championship
It was a very entertaining night.
Lots of stuff to get to:
1. We had many blowouts last night (which all happened during the 8:00 time
slot)
Thats Bocce Said won 13 0 over Son of a Bocce
Thats Boc-Ce Said! won 13 1 over The Shot Put Rejects
Put It On My Tab won 13 1 over Nobody Puts Bocce in the Corner
Big Ballers won 13 -2 over Beotches with Balls
We also had a couple of very close games
Bocced Boob Job 13 12 over Bocce-lism
Joanie Loves Bocce 13 12 over The Milk Street Bowlers
Congrats to Bocced Boob Job. Theyre the final undefeated team left as Deboccery
LLC went down to the Prom Night Dumpster Babies. Bocced Boob Job also is the
only team that has now officially clinched a playoff spot.
2. One week to go in the regular season. To see the updated standings go here
Every team will play during the final week. However only the top 2 teams in each
league will be eligible for the playoffs. If the season ended today it would be
Bocced Boob Job, Joanie Loves Bocce, Deboccery LLC and Thats Boc-CE said! But we
have a lot more bocce to play. Teams Cousins from Another Mother, Big Ballers,
Prom Night Dumpster Babies, Fist Pump All-Stars and Blackballed are all
mathematically still in this.
3. Pictures from last night are up at our facebook page
4. Last night someone suggested an All-Star game. Im all for more bocce so why
not. It would take place during week 8. If you want to be involved, volunteer 1
all-star player from your team and send it my way ASAP so I can work out the
logistics.
5. Another suggestion last night came in the form of a charity contribution.
Weve been doing an excellent job via the Palliny Awards to raise money for The
Home for Little Wanderers. But I want to give a special shout out to the members
of Blackballed. Jennifer, Mia, Michael and Jeff have presented us with $25
checks each for the charity. Thanks to them weve reached the $300 goal. However
we can smash that goal and really set our sights higher. Charitable
contributions are certainly optional but please give what you can. If you want
to give a check, please make it out to The Home for Little Wanderers. The team
that raises the most will be receiving a bocce philanthropy award.
6. After each victory, Jesse and Matt buy a pair of scratch tickets and share
the winnings. Last night they were lucky enough to win $20 on their first
ticket. Score! But that was nothing compared to their 2nd ticket. A $2,000
winning scratch ticket found its way into their hands. And there was plenty of
celebrating (and shots on them) at the bar afterwards to celebrate. Congrats!
7. Mini Golf begins next month.
Have a fantastic weekend -Jay

Excellent job with the shirts yesterday, I love the customization many of your teams have already done.
FYI…on the back of the shirt is a bar meant to put your/team name. It helps with those awkward moments when you see the person you talked to for 20 minutes the week before but now can’t recall their name.
Thanks to those teams that used the beanbag balls on the blue court. I discovered recently that we were missing balls. They’re very expensive and I’ve ordered a new set. I hope they get here in time for next week’s matches but I figured the beanbag ones are better than nothing. And I did quite enjoy the pickup we had afterwards using them. Especially since my team came back from a huge deficit.
Have a fantastic weekend. Week 3 schedule is below. -J
