Miller Park Drunk's Pants Party 3
Miller Park Drunk (aka The Best Brewers Blog in the World) has been a part of the Brewers blogosphere for over five years now and continues going (somewhat) strong to this day. In the summer of 2010 MPD introduced the world to the Pants Party and tailgating parties haven't been the same since.
Okay, they've been mostly the same, but the Pants Party was really cool and everyone had a great time. MPD took the year off from Pants Parties in 2011, but returned in 2012 bigger and better than before. The 2012 party was a massive success and the demand for a 2013 version was bigger and louder than ever before.
But throwing a Pants Party is a large investment that takes a lot of work from a lot of people to be pulled off successfully. We always thought there had to be a better way to make it happen without all of the financial burden falling on our shoulders.
Enter IndieGoGo...
We've been following crowdfunding sites like IndieGoGo and Kickstarter for quite some time and even funded a few (Veronica Mars movie, what up) and what we figured out is that IndieGoGo is perfect for what we want to do. You give us money, we give you stuff and then we all party together. It's perfect.
Each Pants Party has ended up costing about $1500 which we have either barely covered or fell a little short on. For this year's event we wanted to make things bigger and better than ever before. We don't want to run out of beer, we want cooler t-shirts and we want to give out some big, awesome prizes. What better way to do that than through crowdfunding?

Pants Party 3 FAQ
If we don't get enough, is the party canceled?
No. The party is happening either way, but this campaign is the difference between Vince, Tyler and two homeless guys drinking Schlitz on the train tracks, and an epic party that you will tell your kids about when they turn 21.
When is the game?
Sunday June 23rd against the Braves is the game we are shooting for. It's Polish Heritage Day and everyone gets a Polish sausage bobblehead. So if you're Polish there you go.
Can I get tickets after the campaign is over?
Unlikely. Get them now.
Where are we sitting?
Terrace Reserved. Unless we go over our finance goal and then we'll look to upgrade.
