I found this in a Google image search, and I just had to use it. Apparently the Kool-Aid Man had his own line of comic books in the 80′s thanks to Marvel. He battled aliens (named the Thirsties) both in space and on the baseball field, and at some point, met Ben Franklin.

Well, the Kool-Aid man is definitely invited to Ben Franklin’s Birthday this Saturday, January 17th at National Mechanics. I just hope he doesn’t mind getting spiked.

The event currently has 75 guests confirmed on Facebook, and we’re expecting a lot more. Why not RSVP, so we know you’re coming? You don’t have to, but we do like the bragging rights.

Drink specials kick off at 9PM. Read all the details here. Hope to see you all there!

Happy Birthday Ben!

    Oh man! I’m so hot and thirsty, I need refreshment. I wonder if Kool-Aid man will let me dive into his big bowl of sweet icy wonder…
