Overall, our pub crawl was an amazing success. We had well over 100 paid attendees and various others join our crawl. Things got a little disorganized at times, but overall, we’re pretty sure things went well. Between free t-shirts, way too many car bombs and smiling faces, we couldn’t have been more proud. Thanks for everyone for coming out. We have some sweet plans for a Cinco de Maio party!
We don’t have our final count yet on the amount of money raised, but it looks like we are going to raise close to $2,000 for AIDS/HIV Services Group. YOU GUYS ARE FREAKING AMAZING.
Thanks to Zinc, Oxo, Mono Loco, Zo Ca Lo and X-Lounge for hosting us. Next time (and you bars know who you are) when we tell you we’re bringing 100+ people to your bar, you better be prepared! I think you lost us for future pub crawls, but we will certainly be back to those who treated us well!
Wahooptie.. YOU ROCK!
Special thanks to 106.1 The Corner, D/R and everyone (Tad, Kyle, Amy, Amanda, and others) that got the party off the ground.
Additionally, special thanks to Silmo, La Ren, and others who stepped up in a time in need to take care of much needed name tags and wrist bands. Many more pictures after the break….

dear god the pub crawl was fun.
waking up naked on the couch = smashing good time
wow, that is one unflattering selection of photos with a few startling funny moments. Look, there’s even one of thor juggling invisible galvanized lobsters… it’s a job that requires a lot of concentration.
I won’t be attending any cinco de maio parties, but i might go for cinco de mayo. just promise there won’t be someone pouring tequila down my throat or I’ll end up falling down outside oxo and seriously, once is enough.
sweet jesus, i am never drinking again.
Sad I missed so much of this! But, then again, how often does one get a chance to dance on an elevated surface in a glorified towel for Charlottesville’s richest and drunkest? Seriously.
Putting my address on my name tag was the best idea ever. Thanks UPS.
i guess i blacked out right around the time that dude started bringing trays of makers/ginger to our table. then i wrote some stuff on the internet, passed out in the gutter, woke up, and realized that st patrick’s day is actually TOMORROW.
I can’t figure out why I have a headache.
Silmo! I’m so glad to see that you made it home!(or that the hospital has internet..)
i don’t understand the girl in the purple hair. i guess she got lost on the way to the mardi gras parade.
@8 - I’m glad to see I made it home too. Now if only I could figure out how I made it home and what happened to my pants, I’d be fine
What time is it? Am I supposed to be awake yet?
Party animal that I am, I had two beers over five hours, drove home at a responsible hour and had a good nights sleep where I had a startling dream about some creature made of dust that kept following me around but couldn’t see me if I was covered with mud. Good times.
And I woke to find how frightfully un-photogenic I am. Ah well. So it goes.
I appreciate the obligatory St. Patrick’s Day nod to Boston in the title. Wicked gud.
what happened?
/drinking gatorade
thank you guys for coming out, trust us we were prepared but we have a small bar and 100 people at once is hard to handle for anybody.
Btw this Saturday zinc turns one and we got music and two bars this time
if any of you are still game we are doing the same specials again on Monday for the REAL st Patrick’s day
And by the way, the mac and cheese with truffle oil at X is a super sonic bionic taste-bud carnival of joy, elation and emotional fulfillment. I may have actually wept. Thanks for that recommendation eduardo!
before last night, i never knew you could order the same thing 6 times, from 3 different people, and only get it once. but mono loco now offers that special.
they pour a mean PBR bottle though
damn… sorry i missed it. whats this about a mayonnaise party? im there!
Before last night I never knew that you could actually make (and sell) a drink with red gatorade in it.
wow, it’s like a hall of shame of all the regular posters.
while everyone’s hungover, don’t forget about Cummin’s Tool Sale today

don’t forget to bring… a towel?
Frenchy, I will be at your birthday party with bells on! As a public service I’m going to show up already drunk.
I’m trying to reduce my booze footprint
I just had a firecrotch. Without the crotch. I think. Which is the Gatorade and which is the Cru? For all I know, I’m drinking crotch. Not. Good.
@24 Funny - booze footprint - funny
I am so tasty.
@10 I found scraps of your pants all over cVille. If I took the time to reconstruct the events and their meanings, I’d be in therapy for the rest of my life.
@23 Do you think they discovered this?
/just curious
Are any other cVillains crawling to the They Might Be Giants show at the Ballroom tonight? Doors open in thirty-two minutes!
(Green hats optional.)
Between the car bombs, green beer, green shots @ X-Lounge and various other forms of liquid evil, I’m a hurtin.
@31 No green hats, but Thatboy and I will be there. In body, if not in mind. Hell, do any of us have minds, after last night?
what’s fucked up Ben Affleck doin’ in pic. #6 ??
And thanks to the admins for not posting the picture of me flashing my man boobs. I am sure its a horror show, and I appreciate you sparing me that humiliation.
Um, that was ridiculously fun last night…..when can we do it again? And my head hurts today, thanks!!!
cinco de maio, apparently. it’s the fifth of mayonnaise.
im not sure if i could drink an entire fifth of mayo… maybe a frosty pint, though. drop in a shot of mustard and you get an german vomit bomb.
sounds like mixology of 5th graders at a cafeteria table. i like.
Maybe we should have a mayonnaise chugging contest at the next party. Who are the first takers?
but seriously, german vomit bomb. best joke ever.
Did shenanigans win hottest barmaid?
Um, duh?
Well put, metallic lobster pants.
i think she won barmaid with weirdest hand signals. oh well. suck on some firecrotch.
I think she was making shadow puppets
is Squares new? did someone welcome Squares? even if you’re not new, thanks for coming and help yourself to the aspirin and orange juice.
I only do what the shadow puppets tell me to do.
why didn’t you assholes tell me i look like an anole?
Don’t worry, you only look like a disney-ride animatronic robot irish bartendista in those two pics. That outfit was hot irl. money well spent.
I didn’t think you looked like an anole
geez, and all i did last night was bartend at a party where some nice person wrote “saggy twat” on my hands which later resulted in me having blue marker streaks all over my sheets. my priorities are clearly wrong…
raise one for me monday night if you’re out, eh? i’ve got to work, though if it’s half as entertaining as halloween was it might not be too bad. enjoy, you fools. (said, of course, with love.)
[…] wait, how could we forget the pub crawl!! We raised over $2,000 for AIDS/HIV Services Group. ROCK […]
Oooh, look at all the cliques in the pictures!
My cameos are pretty unflattering, but I love the ones I’m with
Hate to be such a megacheeseball but I’m really happy about all the offline friends I’ve made. I totally needed that when it happened and I’m so impressed with the intelligence and inclusiveness… and hotness…
where’s the pic of me giving yupster a red thong wedgie?
Hate to be such a megacheeseball…
I found the megacheeseball to be undercooked and soggy, and its traditionally bright orange coloring was of a slightly reddish hue, indicating a lack of freshness.
Definitely not going back. Evar!11!
it seems that I’m mysteriously missing from all of those pictures. that’s appropriate cause I don’t remember being at any of those places. however, I swear I was hanging out with a few of those folks. I wanna know who’s the chick in the orange hair? yum.
@9: Parlie, I have it in good confidence that the girl with the purple hair was actually a gay pride enthusiast. I heard her yelling something lame like, “I’m here, I’m queer, I want a beer” and Mono Loco and then using the word flacid a lot. Anyway, that’s just what I heard–sorry I’m so late to the party, I was busy draining Zocalo out of my brain for the last 36 hours.
@56: If you are who I think you are, you got some ’splaining to do, son.
it seems that I’m mysteriously missing from all of those pictures
VAMPIRE!
“you got some ’splaining to do, son”
umm….too many carbombs? double bourbons? green beers? jeez, I’m just glad I made it home.
Good times! Now for Cinco de Mayo, should we just hop to every Guad location? (Okay, would invove a car so probably not a great idea)
And I want to be sure to thank a certain bar maid for the greatest guava-based beverage of all time.
Good times! Now for Cinco de Mayo, should we just hop to every Guad location?
We could just get together a roaming band of degenerates, ordering margaritas in entirely inappropriate, non-Mexican-related establishments all around downtown. That could actually be fun!
Would you guys rather do another crawl or stick to one venue with a theme style party?
Oooo. Theme party! Also, I sort of like not being rained on, in between stops. So, one location does help with that. Probably easier to get one venue ready to take our wrath, than 5, too.
@61: don’t do that
@62: costume party!
I’ll go bitch at the god of rain.. oh wait that’s me. BAD THOR.
actually, you’re the god of thunder. duhhhhhh.
hmm, i thought i was the sky elements in general..
/not to overstep my dominions or anything
the only showers you control are golden
@64 Sorry. That really isn’t very nice to the poor people forced to make a zillion unexpected margaritas, so I retract that one. I have no wish to alienate anyone who might be a potential source of alcohol. At all. Ever.
the only showers you control are golden
Patently untrue, he is in no way in control
He’s bound, ball-gagged and immobilized during those…
what about golden showers in the velvet closet?
The closest you can get to that is that Bea Arthur was in the Golden Girls, and even thats a stretch.
No peeing in my velvet wonderland, please.
..and rock-n-roll.

/cheesiest of the cheeses, John Mayer
Yes. Yes it is. Deep eggplant in color. Very little light. Many strange outcroppings of a life lived in a blur. There is no judgement or fear, just comfort. One’s conscious mind begins to slip and suddenly one is dealing with their most naked self, raw, connected. But because the environment is so conducive to a relaxed suggestive state, revelation of self is not at all scary, but rather hypnotically comforting. Time disappears completely. Everything melts into one. An exhausted peace is achieved.
No one ever wants to leave, which is why I can never let any one in, and why I never come out.
Ooh… Cinco de Mayo costume party! How exactly does one dress as a “dirty sanchez?” I need to start planning now.
Me, Squares…sorta new. I am a friend of Baily’s and I think you all have met me…Sarah is the real name…the girl in the pics above taking pics and doing car bombs….
hey, who’s that chick with the big pots o’ gold…and who’s that hatless dude tryin’ ta steal her lucky charms?
Why was Eliott Yamin of American Idol fame at the party, and why was he wearing the nametag “Cbob”?
belmontyo: somehow, you look exactly like I imagined you
I had to look that guy up since I don’t watch American Idol. Wow. And I’m sorry.
dude, what do you mean? Elliot Yamin is hot!
Alright I’ll take that! I’m not too hot on his music but as a doppelganger (I guess) I should at least get a cut of his publicity paychecks.
