Yay! My liver hurts already!
This sounds awesome. I bet I don’t win the tickets, though. But that’s okay.
Oh, this will be a veritable blast! And party hats too!
/fidgets in giddy anticipation
Do I get entered into the drawing twice, now?
I mind not being drunk but then
Much mind to be seen drunken
Drink only perfects all our play
Yet breeds it discord alway
This sounds awesome. Not the toast, but the event. And if the Wahoopie’s involved…we’re gonna have a good time on our hands.
Did everyone listen to KRED on the radio this morning? He’s Famous!
More importantly our little addiction is too.
You can’t enter twice, duh.
crawl and drink with some villains at leisure?
sure sounds like true fun without measure
I will try to be there
party hat on my hair,
but that flyer just gives me a seizure
we are trying to scare you into buying tickets, oy
More importantly our little addiction is too.
He talked about the Meth?
He talked about the Meth?
The first rule of Meth Club is you don’t talk about Meth Club.
I am SO down. For the Meth Club, that is. The bar crawl sounds fun too.
WAHOOPTIE will give rides for those who need it.
Can I ride on the roof ala Teen Wolf? What if I need to ride it around the block a few times before hitting the next pub? My point is that I wont need it to give me a ride home,(I live in staggering distance) but I’d love to ride in it just once.
Comment entry, right here.
If you guys want me to do a radio spot, I typically call the station between 6 and 7 PM anyway… I sweat Jeff Sweatman!
lilith, you can’t win!
Only if you do the spot in the idiom of a monster truck rally ad…
sunday SUNday SUNDAY!!! Live on outdoor three hundred foot revolving stage!!! ITS THE MONSTERS of ALCOHOLISMMMM!!!!
i used to work in an irish bar where they didn’t let employees drink on st. patrick’s day. i don’t know that i’ve EVER gotten drunk on st. patrick’s day & i would like to change that.
In Scranton - PA, they do kegs and eggs starting in the morning- the whole day is one big party.
They also have a parade.
thor, their website says it’s the 15th; you say it’s the 22nd..?
does that mean we get two crawls?
crazy drink specials for anyone who wear one of those hats at zinc.
Can I boo that it’s not actually on St. Patrick’s Day? Or cheer because now I get to be drunky twicey?
you can always come back Monday night for a guiness and fish and chips
Guiness and fish? Is that like snake whiskey?
curses…going to be up in DC that weekend. maybe will try to hit up the Arlington Courthouse district. Ireland’s Four Courts is a great pub-style bar.
Charity is great, but am I missing some high level of socioeconomic commentary here. How do you have an Irish pub crawl without anything Irish, or anything that resembles an Irish pub. As far as I know, we have 1 Irish bar downtown, but we also have some “pubby” atmospheres. Did McGrady’s and Millers decline your offers to contribute to charity? I have nothing against the bars on your list, I just think certain holidays are fun for specific reasons.
I’m going to organize a bar crawl for Cinco de Mayo. I’m thinking Fleurie, the Downtown Grill, and Blue Light.
Andy, we have a lot of people (100+) and Miller’s was too small during the winter! Oh and pub crawls with driving in-between is a bad idea.
Wingnut - hit Old Town - Murphy’s and Ireland’s Own rock.
@28 I’m not sure one can speak of being practical, while trying to get over 100 people a drink at Zinc’s bar. I love their bar, but it might be the smallest one in Charlottesville.
@18 Orchid-
You have never gotten drunk on St.Patrick’s Day?!!!! It is my favorite day of the year (tops Christmas, BDays, and New Year’s). I think if you do not drink this year I will cry for you. You should join in these festivities or at least make your own. If nothing else I will get you drunk.
It is should be illegal to be sober on St. Patrick’s Day.
thank you, i will try
@26 & 29: old town alexandria has a bar called o’connell’s that is the absolute tits. it used to be bullfeathers, which was a popular hunting ground for cougars, but a couple of fellas from dublin bought it up and re-did the whole thing. all the staff is straight from ireland, and while they probably think you’re a total idiot, they treat you very nicely. i alway have a good time blacking out there.
Little birdie told me about this last night… very excited
(do I have to comment under my registered name, or will one under this one be alright? If I don’t hear back before 12:00 I’ll assume the latter)
A- will there be good drink specials?
B- Isn’t 8:30 right in the middle of OXO’s dinner service?
C- If Sarah is working, we gotta do Cassis too
The deadline approacheth!
@27: don’t forget bashir’s taverna
We can’t market drink specials, but knowing us, what do you think? Trust us, we have good things in store.
Why do you think you wear green hats?
Ireland’s Own is indeed a great place. I spent my first Irish-Bar-St Paddy’s Day at Pat Troy’s (Home of the Unicorn) in Old Town, which was a BLAST. Mrs. Nut is probably going to be against a pub crawl, no matter the location, what with her being on the verge of popping out the PeaNut in the next few weeks. Probably end up watching the Sebring 12 Hours and the F1 season opener from the hotel room or folks place. I’ll be sure to be sippin’ on the Guiness, however.
The ad for this event is giving me a head ache…it is worse than the red. Ugg, green and orange.
Can ‘yo come up with something better to replace it? pleeaasse?
I agree.
Hey I designed that logo. OK, no I didn’t. But this is a good cause, I can overlook the crappy logo.
On it.
Her you go… note how the beer is *full*. Hee hee.

I LOVE it b yo!!! You are AMAZING.
Nicely done, thank you. I vote for the new one.
Uuugghh, back to work
13 minutes flat, including hosting. Thats why I don’t charge by the hour. Heh.
Oops… make that 23. Thats why I don’t do accounting. Heh.
Bravo, b yo! Nicely done, as usual.
I’d also like to thank everyone who keeps this place running smoothly. Never has a site so quickly become my home page. Cheers!
Thanks! I would have put the date on it, but there seems to be some confusion.
Im still waiting for an appropriate thread to post my flyer for this evenings shenanigans (no relation)… and also the Winter Mix for this year. But all we have is rape, tuition, hasta la taza and this event. None of it seems to flow. Now I’ll jack a thread, but its gotta flow somehow… jaknow?
i think the confusion has been fixed, and the date is the 15th, although I’m still awaiting mighty Thor’s declaration thereof.
¤THE IDES OF MARCH!¤
there seems to be a sarcastically large irish flag over on the right side declaring 3.15.08. SOUNDS GUD TO ME!
Very well then. Also corrected one small unnamed oversite…

Cheers!
Love the addition of Scowly? Cecil? Beezlebird?
I swear I’m going to wake up some morning to find that little birdie tattooed on my arm…
Um, that is so hot, BYO.
Everyone, yes it’s the 15th.. don’t know how I made that slip.. NOW BUY YOUR TICKETS!
BYO, can you make it 640px wide or less so it will fit on the page? I don’t want to jagged-edge it or whatever happens when I resize.
http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/1271/pubcrawlkc6.jpg
640 exactly.
Now I’ll jack a thread, but its gotta flow somehow… jaknow?
“What’s the weirdest thing you’ll eat at Escafe tonight”?

damn it! can’t make it! i’ll be shakin’ my booty for charity at the boys & girls club fund raiser at jpj that night. (seriously, they’re putting me in a teeny little toga. should be interesting.) this makes me sad… maybe i can try and come at least for some of the evening.
and i’ve been called out! duly noted, see you tonight, mc
I’m calling you out: Trillian, Street, Stanley, icenine, indie dork
I’ll do my best, mc. Probably getting out of work late, and I’m due back at the office rather early tomorrow. Still, I hope to squeeze in a few horus of rump-shaking/bourbon-quaffing.
there’s a new clique in town! i’d like to see if we can schedule some kind of a clique-fight. girls only, natch.
“homer! bart quit his job at the lemonade stand and joined a violence gang!”
meet the new clique, same as the old clique… This is the most cliqueish thing ever: I already invited the regulars over email.
parlie: you, tonight, escafe.
Shit! You had to call me out tonight. I wanna get my groove on with you cVillains! (shake yo’ rump-ah!) I have a (rather boring) prior engagement, so I’m going to need a good excuse..ideas, anyone?
hey! i wasn’t invited!
@ 62 haha… as curious as i am about yo’s stylings, its in everybody’s best interest that i stay far away from the dance floors in this town. why ruin a good thing?
rumps don’t shake until about 11pm, so you may not need an excuse… but if you do, tell whomever that you live in Crozet and can’t leave the house because a mountain lion is gonna getchu.

It really isn’t very good. Well, its ok if you’re so inclined to such music (funky house and elektro). If not, its dreadful.
But then again, if you are drunk, it can be miraculous. Curative, even.
You’ve been warned.
@35 I hear that Sarah is working Saturday nights @ Cassis.
That means you come downtown at 5pm for happy hour at Cassis after parking your car in the surface lot at water street and it’s right there when you finish up at x-lounge!
-or the next morning when you wake up after your FREE taxi ride home!
that said, I’ll probably be there earlier than 11.
Christ. I sound like the eeyore of dj’s. I just hate when folks are disappointed because of genre.
The only way I could be disappointed is if I can’t make it. (due to being attacked by a mountain lion)
i hear it will be the bartender’s birthday as of midnight…
(not to mention-for anyone here under a rock, the dj’s a day earlier)…
let’s buy ‘em a shot! and of course, dance.
Whoah! I just got a advert flyer from x-lounge (”new dinner menu”) in my work email box. How in the world did that happen? I hope my many lives are not bleeding together… because that would be, well… probably not so hot.
Seriously, how did that addy get on that list?
True about the bartender’ b-day. He’s funny when he’s liquored up, too, so buy him a drink. I forgot about the escafé birthday angle. This could be a fun night after all. I wonder if the dance floor will be set up on the side? I suppose we’ll see.
Oh well, off to yoga.
@78 - b yo, i got one too. i think uva sold us out.
b’yo have you used that email addy on this site before?
it doesn’t matter. the lawnmower man can get you anywhere.
seriously, you guys, it’s not safe. i wrote this from a typewriter.
@81 no never. never ever ever. not for anything but work.
[…] that evening, belmont yo explained: Whoah! I just got a advert flyer from x-lounge (”new dinner menu”) in my work email […]
[…] make things more playful we decide to throw a St. Patty’s Day Pub Crawl. You NEED TO GET TICKETS.. all proceeds go to […]
just curious, what does my $16 hat purchase come with, other than the pride and satisfaction that I donated money to AIDS awareness? Free drinks? Drink specials?
Gobbler, we can’t really market drink specials, but knowing us, what do you think?
I heard in La La Land, they sell peanuts for $5 for those who like to hang out on the rails.
Also, in La La Land, they draft racing boats go for $2.50.
