Have you picked up your 2012 commemorative new year's pint glass yet? They're only $3, and they're super cute!
This pint glass was designed by Sandbar friend Jesse. Here are some of the things Jesse had to say about the Sandbar:
What's your favorite tropical drink? Shark Attack
What's your favorite jukebox song? Jessie's Girl (of course!)
Longest you've waited in line at the bar? Never
Funniest or favorite memory at the bar? On my 21st birthday, an old man licked the long blue plastic nose that came with my friend Deede's drink. Things got really awkward really fast.
Here's a few pictures Jesse sent us:
Thanks for the great pint glass design, Jesse! If you're interested in designing a pint glass for us, pay attention to our blog. We'll announce the next design we're looking for soon.

We've got new pint glasses!
Our latest addition to the pint glass collection commemorates the arrival of 2012:
Sandbar fan Jesse submitted this design a few months ago, and while we wanted to have it available before 2012 actually began, our Christmas glasses were still going strong and well, we were a little busy.
The other thing we love about this design? The stork delivering a baby tiki makes a reference to the arrival of Dave's baby! Whether Jesse knew Dave was about to be a dad or not, we don't know, but we love this design.
Check back later this week to learn more about the designer, Jesse.
The pint glasses are available now for $3 each. Stop by to get yours today, and don't forget to bring it back every Thursday for $2.50 tropical drinks!

We've got new pint glasses for the holidays! This design is on one side of the glass and our logo's on the other side:
This design idea was submitted by Chris way back in August. Way to plan ahead, Chris, we need to do more of that!
We loved it, of course. Pints are available for $3 each, and they make great gifts for the Sandbar fan in your life! You can also bring your pint glass in on Thursdays for $2.50 tropical drinks.

Yes, New Year's Eve is a loooong way away. But it'll be here before we know it, and we want to be prepared!
We've got a lot of Halloween pint glasses in stock right now (why aren't you buying them, people?!) and Thanksgiving isn't too far away, so we're not going to do a special Thanksgiving glass this year. And we've already got a submission for a Christmas glass that we really love, so the next holiday is New Year's Eve. We haven't done a special glass for that holiday yet.
Got an idea? We'd love to see it! Check out last year's Thanksgiving, winter, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day and graduation pint glasses for examples.
Here's what we're looking for:
- The design has to be a black and white line art drawing. We only print single-color designs, so a design with multiple colors won't work. Shadows and other shading won't work either.
- Keep it simple. Remember, pint glasses aren't huge and the design will only be a few inches in size. The design should be fairly basic and not have a lot of tiny detail, and it should also translate well to a small size.
- You don't need to include the Sandbar name or logo. Our logo will be on the other side of the glass.
Our panel of judges will choose their favorite design that also meets the above requirements. It's also possible that we'll choose more than one. And it's also possible that we might combine elements from more than one design into a new design.
What do you get if your design is chosen? Well, our undying gratitude and fifteen minutes of fame on our blog, for one. We'll also give you a pack of pint glasses and a T-shirt of your choice.
Submissions can be emailed to sandbar@thesandbar.com. We're also looking for a custom design for our first tropical drink, the Bahama Mama, so if you've got an idea for that one instead, send it to us.
Disclaimer stuff: submitting your design to us gives us full rights to use it on our websites, social networking sites and merchandise. We'll give you credit everywhere we can, of course.

Our second Halloween 2011 pint glass was designed by Chelsea, a KU student.
Here's her design:
Here are some fun facts about Chelsea:
Favorite Sandbar drink. Shark Attack, for sure. Delicious and the shark toy gets me in touch with my inner child.
Favorite Sandbar memory. This is hard to narrow down. Probably the pub crawl I went on this past spring where I alternated between dancing my heart out, eating popcorn and drinking shark attacks.
Funniest moment at Sandbar. Any time fake mustaches are involved because people do some weird stuff under the disguise of fake facial hair.
How long have you waited in line. It's never been a long time but probably 15 minutes when the Lawrence Bar Band was playing.
Favorite jukebox song. I can't narrow this down. Every song that comes on makes me sing or dance. Or both.
Thanks for the great design and for being a good customer, Chelsea!

Our first Halloween pint glass for 2011 is from Mike in Lombard, Ill.
Here's his design:
Here's what Mike had to say about the Sandbar:
I would say that all of my memories at the bar were great. I'm a simple guy who will always enjoy beer, but if your at The Sandbar, you have to have a Bahama Mama at least once. Play anything on the jukebox and you will be in a good mood, and just like at the beach, you can't go wrong at The Sandbar.
We couldn't agree more.
Halloween pint glasses will be available later this week. They're $3 each. Get yours before they're gone! Next up, Chelsea, who designed our second pint glass.
