The World's Ending=Free Party at Game On! Boston on a Budget

12.12.2012 - Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts - Okay, okay.  So this song's a little cliche, but according to the Mayans, the world's run is done as of next Friday so sue me if I want to hear R.E.M. one last time.  Lots of news and free stuff coming up so stick with me through the end..."of the world as we know it and IIIIII feeeeel fiiiiinnne."

bostononbudget.com - Bad news, good news time: Bad news: I'm going to have to cut down on the Boston on a budget section.  The email service I signed up for changed it's format and isn't putting up as many freebies.  Good news? This website compiles Boston's deals better than I ever could and they are straight up legit! They even have some of my personal favorites, like the city's best one dollar oysters, Taco Tuesday spots and the Red Hat's 10 cent Wing Nights (it's legendary, cheap, delicious and every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday). Bookmark this deal because you'll wanna come back over and over again.

bostontweet.com - A comprehensive list of the Hub's best drink specials.  Cheap pitchers at the likes of the Sil', Punter's Pub and margaritas with prices that won't break the bank.  Because this is Boston and happy hours are still illegal, these prices are set for most nights of the week. Personal recommendations include $1 Bud Lights at Coogans, Jose McIntyre's $2.50 32 oz. personal pitchers and Biddy Early's $2 PBR's, $4 shots and $8 pitchers.

Shock top Free end of the world party at Game On! - Sign up for free at the Eventbrite and look forward to the reckoning in style. 12/21/2012 8 p.m. til Doomsday. Event description below.

The basement of Game On will be transformed into what we think the end of the world would look like. There will be endless Shock Top, music from Mmmmaven, and lots of giveaways. It's the end of the world so let's party!"

Reality Show Casting at Red Hat Wednesday! - For those that know me well enough, know that I've had my fair share of being a part of reality TV (my sister was MADE). That's not to say you haven't though.  Hurry up and sign up for the free chance to appear on a dating reality show and head to the Red Hat (Hey, I heard that place was good) Wednesday from 7-9 before all the slots fill up.  Grab a draft, get a taste of the lime light and maybe find true love?

Stay posted, Strikers! That's a lot to handle in one bite so keep an eye out this weekend for more stuff coming your way like: Two Piece bands take over Rock n' Roll, Big Boi VS Kendrick Lamar Album Reviews, and new in Music in Boston

Apocalypse Eclipse Post Script BTW: North Korea's launching long range missles again, so the world might actually actually be ending. Read more at boston.com

Boston on a Budget: Tailgate with Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey

Here we go again!  In the same vein as the very successful Guinness Believer event last week, ThreeifbyStrike is proud to inform you of the Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey Tail Gate Throwdown.

Seems that on Sunday, October 14th, for the Patriots-Seahawks game ole Jackie Daniels and his boys will be taking over a bean town bar and throwing a tailgate party (don't tell but it's in the Fenway area.) From the invite, Jack Daniels say they will be providing catered BBQ, appearances by former NFL stars Lawyer Milloy and Andre Tippett, opportunities to win prizes and of course, that sweet Tennessee Honey.  All free.

I signed up, we'll wait and see what happens. In the meantime, mark your calendars, dry clean your jersey and practice your tailgate games.  Something tells me this could turn out pretty okay for all of us. See you there!

Baller/Boston on a Budget: Bodega 40-50% off Online Sale

Another sale with a time frame so catch the details here at threeifbystrike and reap the benefits.  Check out Bodega's massive 40-50% season's end online sale here at the Bodega Online shop website.  Now, Bodeda's notorious for having a major pricetag and for the most part that still applies to most of the sale items but dig deeper into the discounts and you'll find sneakers for $30, funky Oxford's for $40, and Tank tops for $35.  The sizing works like Jackthreads, where what's available is what they got. Threeifbystrikers  are going to have to move fast if you're not on the super small/super tall spectrum, where a lot of stock remains.

What's Bodega?  Five years ago I asked the same question and made the trip with friends to the unassuming 6 Clearway st. address and walked out with a pair of Nike high-tops I still wear today. Whenever friends or cool family members are in town this is definitely on my Underbelly of Boston Tour.  If you haven't been there or heard what make Bodega such a special Boston spot, besides their high quality/hugely dope sneakers and urban wear, I won't spoil the surprise but will recommend freeing up an afternoon to check it out in person.

For those out-of-town Bodega fans, compulsive online shoppers, or if your collection of sneaks could use a boost then this Bodega online sale is perfect.  Keep an eye out for their pop-up shop on  Brookline ave at the 4th Wall Project. Usually when the season ends they move the stock over here to try and clear as much as they can with seriously discounted prices.  Get after it!

our online sale had been extended, now reflecting markdowns of up to 50% ::: shop.bdgastore.com/collections/sa… ... twitter.com/Bdgastore/stat…

50% off Shoe Sale today and tomorrow...if you don't have monster feet.

For a preview of the upcoming Boston/Baller on a Budget section head over to the Warrior Footwear webshop and plug in the code "Summer12" at the checkout for 50% off their simple, yet fresh, kicks.  I investigated the half off promo and I'm happy to report it works. With original shoe prices ranging from $30-$70 the discount knocks the summer/spring sales tags to as low as $15. I would have already bought a pair at those prices but since they don't carry up to size 14 my oversized ass was S.O.L. You'll have to hurry, as the sale only runs through today and tomorrow be sure and snap up a pair quick before the coupon expires.  Look fly for the first day of school with threeifbystrike's heads-up help.
