Well, The Hook offered up this piece of information on the Pub Crawl:
The following night, the 15th, there’s a St. Patty’s Day Pub Crawl to benefit the AIDS/HIV Services Group. Basically, it involves showing up at Zinc around 7pm to buy a special green hat at the door for $20 and then moving on to Oxo, Mono Loco, Zocalo, and the X-Lounge.
Do I thank them? Full details (and buy discounted tickets) here:

I would think that the Hook would define itself as the anti-snark. I stand corrected. They want to be more like us! How cute!
You have no idea how much they want to be more like you. Check out the “piece of information” page Thor links to: Dish’s fledgling blog is now up and running (readthehook.com/food), and we hope it becomes a place for food news, events, and commentary 24/7.
They have foodie blog envy.
Then March 13th, the Hook wrote an article about the pub crawl. Basically it involved stringing together just enough words to be marginally informative, without mentioning anything interesting. The only thing especially green about this article was the possibly jealous motive that lead to the deliberate omission of the event organizers.
Easy, you guys. They might get mad and turn it inot a Pub Brawl. Sweet… hookers v villains. I’ll bring the pudding.
bring your green hate. i mean hat. bring your green hat.
I had foodie blog envy, but the doctor gave me antibiotics.
speaking of green….
How is one to stay dry on saturday?
“Beware the Ides of March”
Strange how they didn’t include a link to the online ticket sales…I mean they are cheaper online at the moment.
CRU and gatorade y’all. at the oxo. are you happy now, Eduardo??!!
Hookers v. Villains on the pub brawl? now i’m REALLY upset that i’m going to miss it!
hookers vs. villains? *lmao*
that is HILARIOUS!
“When you’re a Villain you’re a Villian all the way, from your first cigarette to your last dying day…”
slight threadjack, but has anyone (Thor? Lil?) considered making pins/stickers/patches with the little birdie mascot so that Villains can (quietly) ID each other around town? sort of like a secret handshake…
Its been discussed, and then ignored, much as “the little birdie mascot’s” name. Pity, really.
Though I wonder if some enterprising Villain has taken it upon himself to get that project rolling anyway. Maybe someone with some design knowledge, a recreated vector art file, too much time on his hands, knowledge of “stickerguy.com”, and a subversive streak a mile wide? No one comes to mind, but maybe…
/snooze and lose (creative control).
@14 - we do have a gang signal. I’ll show you at the pub crawl
oh you’re not going to be there. scratch that
Is this the gang sign?
byo: i could easily be persuaded to take 15 minutes to create buttons on cafepress if given even a jpeg to work with…they’re not super fancy, but they’re relatively cheep (like the budgie).
@16,17
yeah, sorry Slimo, i would like to learn the gang signal, though it probably wouldn’t get much use as i don’t make it out at night very often.
jpeg? vector or death! If some one had vector art, why one could enlarge that to the size of a wall! Imagine the multitude of possibilities!
If… that is. Ahem.
We’ll pay for stickers if you guys help us with the art files and how we setup all that stuff. Sorry, b’yo. Just let us know what we need to do.
@18
that’s pretty good, but i don’t know if i can make my fingers do that.
*birdie name.. I’ll put up the vote tomorrow for the final name!!!
@20
sorry byo, just thinking in the imediate and frugal. i’ve used CP for a number of events over the last few years and jpegs are fine for small stuff like buttons. vectors rule for scalability, however.
Listen to the corner in the morning!
This is a gang sign for sure
You need to take the art I send you and email it to the sticker guy with some money and ask for one inch black and white circular stickers on a roll in any quantity you desire, they’re dirt cheap. Then you need to put $2,000 in non sequential 20’s in a brown paper bag and await my call for further instructions.
I just figured we threw the shocker around here, as a gang symbol.
CP = Crozet Press? If so then yes, they = awesome. And they are local!
(spent an hour vectorizing Scowly from that pinner jpeg, may as well do sumpin widdim)
Shifty, that reminds me of VH (heard maybe they’d be swinging through these parts for a concert of some kind?)…wasn’t there an image in the liner notes for OU812 that had one of the guys throwing up some sort of “double horns” gang sign?
the tent is going up as we speak to cover the patio, the guiness truck is on it’s way and we are waiting for everybody to show up.
we still working on drinks specials but it’s gonna be off the hook.
@29, sorry CP=cafepress…locally i used to use Crazy Horse for rush-embroidery jobs, until Don got so fed up with me (actually my boss) that he basically quit doing work for us.
@31it’s gonna be off the hook.
I would be prefer it being on the Hook, that way they have to pay for everything.
Damn hookers!
Gang signs aint rocket science hesse!
OGCV baybee!
What set are you claimin?
well it’s gonna be off the villain then
I’ll show you the gang sign tomorrow. geeze
You’re getting a tent Frenchy that’s great… um you realize we’re only going to be at Zinc for, like, an hour though
…unless the rufies frenchy put in the drinks kick in before we leave.
So I take it it’s gonna rain during our beer parade. Maybe we starlight express can donate a bus so we don’t get wet hiking from bar to bar. I’m particualrly concerned about treking from Oxo to Mono Loco. I also would love to drive Zocalo. Oh and I think we should crash all the bars that declined to particpate in our attempt to support AIDS. We won’t buy anything, just clamor into the restaurant, use the bathrooms, and leave. Who’s in?
do we have to use the toilets for two years?
Good reason to utilize the Wahooptie services this weekend: Ablemarle police will be stepping up road patrols for St. Patty’s Day. http://www.readthehook.com/blog/index.php/2008/03/13/extra-police-out-this-weekend/
Frenchy’s pitching a tent in expectations of our arrival? Talk about excited.
/those french. so intense.
that depends how quickly your skin grows
my foreskin?
I think we should have a sprint to each bar and the winners (should they live) get to drink for free!
If it rains people can wear their fashion rubbers & fancy raincoats
oooh…fashion rubbers! so sexy.
Fashion rubbers? Fancy.
Oh! Street beat me to it.
I used my paddle.
i know the party only starts here but we keeping the tent all week for the grand finally next saturday for our 1st birthday. Joyeux anniversaire zinc
Congratulations, Frenchy!
Ohh cool. I’ll be at the party.
btw, it’s not against the rules to come by before 7pm right ?
drink special will be already in effect
What about food specials? I thinking getting something to eat would be wise it’s too late.
a Monsieur Croque with fries perhaps, hold the mayo for the fries
Good point. I’ll be there at noon.
Be sure to ask the owner what part of Canada he’s from.
heh. I’m from Vancouver,
@56 very funny, how’s the headache on Wednesday ?
Haha, I had to go home early from work.
I gotta go out now but one more thing…
BUY A MUTHAF**ng TICKET TO THE MUTHAF**ng PUB CRAWL, BETCHES!
Cru-bombs for everyone!
