reddit would like to buy you a drink, boston

We're coming home for Halloween (keep tabs on the tour via drankkit.com).

Steve and I started reddit in a summer sublet in Medford. Sixteen months later, we weren't living much further away, but right in the center of the incomparable Davis Square. Now we shall return (really, the bar is just a short stagger from our old apartment) and we'd like you all to join us.

We still haven't gotten those ponies, so it looks like Wired is giving us another open bar on exactly the 1 year anniversary of our acquisition.

If you've finished carving your pumpkin and got some time on October 31, the open bar will run from 7pm to 9pm at The Burren. (Need a costume?) Just leave the bowl of candy outside your door with a guilt-tripping note and step out for a few drinks. I know we've given away drinks in Boston before, but this time it's beer!

Grab a nametag when you show up; you'll need one so bartenders know you're there for the reddit event and thus get free booze. It will also allow us to address one another as our usernames and avoid other formalities of normal human interaction.

You don't need to RSVP, but if you're hankering to add your name to the guest list, please use MyPunchbowl (because evite still sucks). We're also on facebook, yelp, and going -- we're that damn Web 2.0.

Think of it as another chance to interact with your fellow redditors in an ultra realistic environment known as real life. Besides, we'd like to meet you (and reunite with the rest of you) and send you all off trick-or-treating with a nice buzz.

Plus, I think I'll have completed my paper mâché reddit alien costume by then...

i didn't put this here, honest
