Typical Bar Accessories
We were probably the only people who routinely took a trip to Party City in preparation for the bar:
Beach Party 2000
One of our many theme nights at the Phyrst: "Beach Party 2000".
We used our kazoos as an implement to drink beer out of our pitchers:
Whenever we had a theme night at the bar, we went all out. This particular night we brought a ton of leis (which of course ended up all over Spider Kelly and half the bar patrons), drink umbrellas, plastic musical instruments, etc.

as well as drank directly out of the pitchers with our straws (that actually wasn't specific to Beach Party 2000, that was pretty much every night at the Phyrst):

70s Gameshow Party
Over the years we had a lot of theme parties, one of my favorites was our 70s gameshow party, inspired largely by the show The Match Game.
In college we used to watch a LOT of gameshow network, it was our go-to hangover remedy. Lay on the couch all day, eat leftover pizza, and watch the Newlywed Game, Press Your Luck, Family Feud (only with Richard Dawson), and the Match Game. Oh that wacky Gene Rayburn.
So a couple years ago we decided to host a 70s gameshow party. We watched the Match Game on repeat (Dawn had given me a Match Game box set one year), made Harvey Wallbangers and Tom Collins drinks, and dressed in fabulous 70s attire. I remember shopping in Salvation Army with Dawn, trying on all kinds of ridiculous clothes. When she pulled out the mint suit, we both said "YES!!!". It fit her perfectly, like it was just made for her to rock 70s gameshow awesomeness in.
True to Jen form, I made drinks entirely too strong and ended up loopy by like 7:30. I vaguely remember the Harvey Wallbangers combined with a floppy hat and ginormous glasses making for a fairly large functional impediment and I passed out by 8:30. So I'll have to leave it to Kristen (who was pregnant and a responsible party attendee) to recap most of the night.
