This one's for you, Paul.

A fair sky and a breezy 66° – what better Saturday to drink the hours away? Well, literally, that is – one for every hour of this fine April 24th, to be exact.

That’s right folks, it’s Newman’s Day, so you can expect lots of day drinking, public insobriety, and mostly just hammered seniors boozin’ in the solace of their post-thesis lives.

If you’re not familiar with the Princeton tradition: actor and all-around badass Paul Newman’s quoted as saying, “24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.” College kids took the hint and drink 24 brews on April 24 to commemorate college life and the Cool Hand himself. (Or at least they try. Hitting the mark is an achievement, of course.)

Oh, and in 2004 he told Princeton specifically to ban the ritual and the use of his name. Just a PR move, though, we get it man, you gotta keep your image clean.

So if anything funny/awesome/especially drunk happens today, we’ll try and keep you posted here and here. And if you’ve got any good stories – hit us up in the comments or at theinktips@gmail.com

Now if you’ll excuse us – a cooler awaits.
