Pub Crawl 2008 Was a Wicked, Awesome Success

pub crawl 2008 charlottesville

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….

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    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.)

    My cameos are pretty unflattering, but I love the ones I’m with :D 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…

    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!

    @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.

    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.

    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?

  62. 17 Mar 2008 at 1:05 pm
    ThatGrrl said:

    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.

    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.
