Kegerator raffle sneak peek

Each year, through the generous contributions of local artists, we raffle off kegerators at the Big Pour and like the event itself, they just keep getting better and better.  Take this year's submission from Tim Oliveira.  There's only one thing to say about his kegerator... it ROCKS!  

Tim is a self taught silkscreen artist. His focus is on color and clean black lines, transforming his sharpie drawings into large paintings and prints. You can find his editioned prints and large acrylic paintings throughout the city.  For one week only (9/11 to 9/18), to celebrate the Big Pour, he is offering a 20% discount on prints available in his online store.  Use checkout code BIGPOUR20 to receive your discount.

Learn more on our kegerator page and big thanks go out to Christo, Tim, Ryan, Jason, Andrea and Ateret for your support of the Big Pour and Construction Junction.  Be sure to buy your raffle tickets at the Big Pour (5 for $10) for your chance to win the kegerator of your dreams.

From left top to right bottom below... solar cats from Chinatown, snacks (Utz are Tim's favorites), emergency vices, rabbit bottle opener, fog horn audio alarm to broadcast an empty keg alert signal, and Terry and Art from back in the day.  Besides all that... the whole thing lights up everywhere.

CJ Q&A

I have a woodshop and build furniture.  I've designed a bed and require 2 pcs of 12 inch diameter pvc pipe 24 inches long.  Might you have such an item?  -- Chad

Chad -- We almost always have a healthy assortment of PVC pipe on hand back in aisle 13.  In terms of the sizes, because our inventory is so variable, it's best to come in and check everything out personally.  -- Cozmo
