So last year I actually mapped it out. I spent around $60 for drinks at the bar, then donated another $30 though the night. Everyone will be different, but I would say plan on around $50 ($10 each bar for drink and tip). Again, how much you drink is totally up to each person so you might spend less of more.

I usually budget $200-300 for the night, including charity. Really it's up to any individual as has been said earlier. My guideline for myself is to put as much into the charity pot as I spend on drinks.

I went through 2 cans of that stuff! I think the best part was rando people not even involved getting witnessed. By the 8 cylinders of valhalla I have no idea how I made it home.
Yeah, some of the best times was the randos who got witnessed.
And not sure how you made it all the way home, but I know I helped you at least once get from bar to bar. I specifically remember helping you get to the final (start) bar from right next door.
Oh my god man. I do NOT know. Literally the last thing I remember was going to the 4th bar and trying to find the imperator of whatever house and just... that was it.
I have pictures of things after that but it's all just gone.
Good times though and thanks for helping

Anytime, I would never leave a teammate behind.
We will likely meet again this year.
And don't worry, I don't think you did anything embarrassing. You just didn't want to leave that bar.
Well my GF is almost done making an awesome item that will be auctioned off at the TWDT. I am sure that it would be of interest to any old school Slytherin DE members.

Got my passes on order, and this will likely be my first year I'm not hosting a drinking event of my own that night . Just hoping that making a 3rd outfit won't absolutely kill me...
So I am going to be making some wands since I feel the need to actually costume it up this year. If they turn out well (I'll post pictures next week), they should be pretty cheap and easy to produce and I will take requests for people that want one and don't want to break the bank buying one.
"Accio Alcohol" TWDT 2016 shirts are now available.
Product and sales info:
Purchase a Triwizard Drinking Tournament shirt and support Child's Play! ~ Child's Play is a charity run by Penny Arcade that donates toys and games to children in hospitals worldwide and 100% of the profit ($1.94) made from these sales will be donated to them. ~ Depending on which shirt you purchase the donation will be made under the name of the TWDT House you select. ~ These purchases will help the corresponding team win the yearly Triwizard Drinking Tournament cup.
As these are made to order I took the liberty and bought one of the Slytherin shirts to see how long it would take for production and shipping.
I place the order with 2 day shipping on Weds June 8th. It arrived about one week later Weds June 15th.
[I will upload picture of the physical shirt when I have a chance to take them.]
Without further adieu, here are the purchase links.
For full transparency I am including the "shirts cost and profits" breakdown from Amazon.
@altmann Sadly not this year. Gryffindor OotP this year because I have some local friends who are trying to get into the whole PAX thing who are apparently too pure of heart to be on a real team.
Err, I mean "I would never join the likes of the Death Eaters! For justice and honor! Or something!"

Well sir, as HoH for Slytherin DE I now must preemptively challenge you to a duel for dishonoring my good houses name and for being a traitor.

I have to say, I'm quite happy that the Ravenclaws start/end at the Unicorn.
My first PAX I was wandering around Saturday night with somebody who lived in Seattle. When he named the Unicorn I said we had to go there. But he couldn't remember where exactly it was. And so we spent an hour on a quest to find the Unicorn - at one point wondering if it was as ficticious as its name sake. My drink request, upon arrival, was "something magical".
Our quest for the Unicorn is one of my first memories of PAX, and fondly remembered. This will be my first time returning.

Consider it done. We will be squared off at the Unicorn. So that second challenge will have a little more weight behind it now!

I hope you'll be making your triumphant return to the crawl this year.

Having to "find a link" w hen I just wake up does not work out well.
I seriously spent 5 minutes looking, thinking it was taken down or something.
But I'm happy

Always great to see people returning. I look forward to leading you in a drunken stager through Capitol Hill!
..which bar is the one with the freaky circus theme? That one left an impression on my alcohol addled brain last year.
Abduct some random person from Capitol Hill and drag them along like your own personal house elf.

I think Slytherin DE has this on lock down again. I mean, we have won the last couple. I feel this new Cup will look great with us.
