Mere days after the sudden death of the eccentric pop
legend, Grub Street
reports that bars in the East Village are already planning a way to
celebrate his legacy with binge drinking. The "King of Pop Pub Crawl"
will begin at the Village Pourhouse at 11 (a.m.!) on July 11. The
seven hour marathon includes a nauseating series of drinks from "Black
and White" cocktails to "King of Pop-sicles" margaritas. Now that it's
socially acceptable to be a fan of Michael Jackson, publicists even
expressed their excitement by sending out press releases that said
"Don't stop 'til you get enough....Whooo!" Attendees will each receive
a white glove (sans Pepsi can) and will be encouraged to whip out
random crotch grabs after trying to moonwalk in a straight line after a few hours worth of Jesus juice. The
event will end with a participatory "Thriller" dance, sure to make the
$20
ticket well worth it. If you're lucky, by the time you reach
SideBAR faces will start to morph, and some kind soul will toss you a
blanket to cover your face after you retch.
