The 2012 Tacoma Pub Crawl is only days away. Here are a few guidelines that will maximize your time, safety, and most importantly, your fun.
BAR LIST
- Loose Wheel 2 – 4 pm
- Bar 2 4:30 – 5:30
- Bar 3 6 – 7:30
- Bar 4 8 – 9:30
- Loose Wheel 10 – Close
PARKING
Please park in the Safeway parking lot if you’re driving to the crawl. There’s no room at Loose Wheel, and Mona’s next door WILL TOW YOU. Even better: Take a cab to and from the crawl. Safety first when it comes to all-day drinking binges, crawlers.
RESPECT THE SCHEDULE
This year we’re busing everyone from bar to bar. That means you gotta be at the first bar—Loose Wheel—on time. We’re leaving Loose Wheel at 4 pm, and we’ll be at each bar for roughly an hour to an hour-and-a-half, with thirty minutes of traveling in between. However, our yellow chariot becomes a soggy pumpkin at exactly 10 pm, so punctuality is a must.
In other words, don’t miss the bus any time during the crawl. The bus will leave you.
BRING CASH
Waiting to get your credit back from the waitress will hold everyone up. Bring cash and make all of our lives easier. The added bonus of using cash is that you probably won’t have the resources to impulsively buy a round of Patron for that table of cuties. Let’s show the naysayers that drinking and being fiscally responsible aren’t mutually exclusive.
PACE YOURSELF
It’s a long crawl, so there’s no need to drink yourself into a hole by Bar #2. Follow the liquor before beer rule. Eat the tasty bar food every now and then. Leave double fisting for the professionals.
KARAOKE
Oh, karaoke is going to happen. The Loose Wheel—also our last bar—will have the mics ready for us when we get back at 10 pm. You might as well come prepared to belt out a few hits, though try not to bum us out with sappy slow songs. Keep it upbeat. More Kool and the Gang, less K-Ci and JoJo.
THE AFTERPARTY
Even though the crawl is sold out, feel free to invite people to Loose Wheel at 10 pm. There will be the aforementioned karaoke, and who knows what else. Dancing? Pool sharking? Fist bumping with random crawlers? Come to the afterparty and find out.
