Pub Crawl

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.

    Strange how they didn’t include a link to the online ticket sales…I mean they are cheaper online at the moment.

    Wingnut said:

    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…

  15. 13 Mar 2008 at 3:14 pm
    belmont yo said:

    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

    Is this the gang sign?

    Wingnut said:

    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.

    belmont yo said:

    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.

    Thor said:

    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.

    that’s pretty good, but i don’t know if i can make my fingers do that.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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 ;)

    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
