BAR CRAWL INVADES DOWNTOWN

On Thursday, May 19th, prepare to see an inordinate amount of drunken students wobbling up Court Street in clusters of matching t-shirts. Or, if you’re a college student, prepare to be very safe and responsible as you enjoy the Bar Crawl, your reward for studying so diligently and acing your finals... right? Because college is about learning. Students will be encouraged (we guess) to celebrate knowledge and the institution of higher education by purchasing a mug on campus that will then be filled with beer (to students of legal drinking age) at a variety of bars on State Street (the part of State Street that is north of Court) and even, perhaps, the Belmar, where locals and our city’s illustrious scholars collide. But don’t literally collide, we hope. There will be drink specials. Just be careful.
