If you know anything about college football, then you know Alabama fans redefine the word dedication- on the field, in the stands, and definitely at the bar. Boston doesn't fall short when hosting Alabama fans in the Northeast and the White Horse Tavern is where game day goes down. (and the party) If you are looking for a rowdy Saturday- VERY rowdy Saturday- than you may want to buy some cowboy boots, put on your classiest (or trashiest) crimson red shirt, and make way to The White Horse Tavern in Allston. Gathered there you will find true Alabama fans. Don't know what to expect? Trust me, you won't be disappointed. It's one of those "if you can't beat em' join em" events. ROLL TIDE ROLL Y'ALL! (Check out the Alabama football schedule here)

It's that time of year again. You know... The Harpoon Brewery's Octoberfest in Boston's Waterfront. Every year it is a huge hit, and people from across New England make there way to Boston (as well as stumble their way out) You are guaranteed to have a large selection of Harpoon beers, including IPA. Rumor has it that you will even witness the best Chicken Dancing this side of the Alps has to offer and the famous keg bowling game. So make sure to party hard people while enjoying three stages of music. 

"The last weekend in September is time for our German style Octoberfest-  the biggest in Boston. Come enjoy fresh Harpoon Octoberfest beer, German food, and German Oompah music. Prost!"

For many of us, Bank of America is part of our lives. I'm guilty of it. Yes, I pay the $15 per month to hold a checking account. (But I also have easy access to atm's on almost every corner.) Bank of America isn't cutting us short though you guys. Every first weekend of every month in 2012 they are giving all Bank of America (and Merrill Lynch) card holders free museum admission. So get your learn on people or just take a stroll through the participating museums FO' FREE!! Milk it for what it's worth if you ask me and make the first weekend of October a museum weekend. And going to the museum would make you smarter! DUHHHHHHH

Béla Fleck and the Marcus Roberts Trio, Berklee BeanTown Jazz Festival is a South End Jazzin' kind of time. Actually, it is the South End's first Jazz festival ever and the first one -12 years ago- had over 10,000 people! (They weren't expecting that...) This event hasn't slowed down a bit, and on September 29, 2012 they are going to throw down South End style. Twelve years later they have drastically grown the festival to over 60,000 people! That alone is proof enough that this event is an impactful part of Boston's cultural calendar. 

"Enjoy world-class music on three stages, great eats, and good times stretching six blocks in Boston’s historic South End. Families are entertained with face painting, inflatables, photos, and an instrument petting zoo. More than 70 vendors participate, making the Berklee BeanTown Jazz Festival the place to be."

So sketch it in the calendar and don't be the only person around missing out on this wicked awesome event. Rumor has it that there will be over 70,000 people this year and you don't want to be "that person." ... you know, that person who sits inside their man cave all day and never leaves the house. Show New Orleans who really knows how to JAZZ OUT and make your way to South End!

Only two days away (yes, you should be counting) City Wine Tours will show off Boston's North End! This Saturday, September 22nd, is the day to get a different perspective of the North End - who knows, you may even become a true North End wine drinker. I know there is no way we can all be history lovers, but come on y'all... this is no museum. Who doesn't want to know more about those countless bottles we have all had.

"This North End Wine Tour explores the wines of Tuscany, Piedmont, Abruzzo and more through a top-tier collection of North End establishments."

It is a walking tour, so I would suggest saving your sipping (or chugging for all you wild ones) till the very end of the tour.
