We’d like to pass along the invite from our friends over at The Banshee:

“First of all I want to thank all of you for supporting the pub and your team here over the last year, their have been some really excellent days for football and its all up to you, THANK YOU, anyway, I really cant believe it, but it’s that time of year again, The Banshee Christmas party will be held on Thursday December 13th from 7pm to close, Heineken will be our sponsor this year and we will provide plenty of passed appetizers for the night, this year we will have a band playing from 10pm to close, Night Time Radio, they are a cover band, they won’t blow the head off of you and they are excellent. I’m not looking for a guest list but if each of you could give me some kind of an idea of how many you are expecting that would be great, for those of that can’t make it we wish you a great Christmas. I’m sure I’ll see most of you over the next two weeks with all the games coming up so thanks again folks.“

 

So, if you plan on coming please let us know in the comments below so we can get them a number.

Also, please note that we will be also be having our own end of season/holiday party in January. Keep an eye out for that invite as well!

FIFA: Where video game and soccer nerds unite.

You’re ready. Your thumbs are strong enough to mold steel. You can operate that controller with lightning-fast accuracy. You haven’t thrown a controller across the room in frustration in at least 72 hours. You’re at peak performance and ready to vault yourself into legend. It’s time to take your expert skills to the big show and square off against the best of the best at the annual Midnight Riders FIFA Tournament.

The Midnight Riders are proud to partner with ThinkTaylor, Taylor Twellman’s charity for education, support and fundraising to promote positive outcomes from sports-related brain concussion, for this awesome event. We’ll be setting registered players up into brackets, we’re taking over the Greatest Bar in downtown Boston and will face off in FIFA 13 matches in single-elimination until a champion is crowned (jubilant carrying through the streets of Boston optional). Register today as either a Player or a Spectator to reserve your spot (it’s cheaper to register in advance, plus you’ll be certain you have a spot) and make sure to pick up an event t-shirt. We’ll have prizes for the winners, a raffle for more awesome stuff, and all the proceeds will go to benefit ThinkTaylor. Sign up today!
