Valentine Crawl – 2/13/2010

Valentine's Day Crawl

It’s 2010 and we’re looking forward to be bringing you the Valentine Crawl, our most popular event of the year.

Here’s some good information to know:

Who is Crawl in Boston?

Crawl in Boston is a social networking group that gives professionals a chance to meet new people in a casual and fun atmosphere. People of all ages have gathered to join the bar crawls, and we’ve raised money and goods for local charities. We also spread the word about other similar events we’ve heard about, as well as new places and bar/restaurant specials. We’re bringing people together, one drink at a time for local charities.

Who are Julie’s Family?

Julie’s is a community-based family support and education program that is committed to the development of strong, healthy family functioning.

Julie’s breaks the cycle of poverty among low-income, at-risk families by providing services that enable mothers and their children to become healthy, responsible, successful at life, and economically self-sufficient members of their communities.

What does this event cost?

We are asking for $5.00 to attend. Please keep in mind that proceeds of your optional donation supports Julie’s Family Charity. Everyone who donates will be receiving:

*Crawl in Boston Nametag
*Crawl in Boston Beverage Koozie

*Multiple bars will also be providing free appetizers to donating crawlers

How Do I Sign Up?

You don’t have to. We only ask you RSVP on the Facebook event ASAP. This gives us a better idea on how many people are coming. We can better arrange our schedule so the bars have enough staff to accommodate you all. Also helps let us know how many koozies to order.

What to wear?

Please wear something red, pink or black to keep in the holiday spirit. If you want to dress as cupid, that’s more than encouraged.

What’s the schedule?

Big Ten Bar CrawlThe 3rd Annual Big Ten Bar Crawl is almost here and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever! The crawl starts at noon at DJs at the Garden (222 Friend St) and continues around the North Station area:

12-1:30 DJs at the Garden
1-2:30 Johnnie’s on the Side
2-3:30 The Harp
3-4:30 Hurricane O’Reilly’s
4-5:30+ The Greatest Bar

View a map of the route by clicking here:

There will be souvenir koozies available (while supplies last) for $3 each at DJs!

There is a Bruins game at The Garden at 7:00pm, so we will be colliding with some fan traffic at Greatest Bar. If Greatest Bar does fill to capacity, there are plenty of establishments nearby to go to until the Bruins crowd thins out. We expect there to be a Big Ten crowd at Greatest Bar until very late in the night.

Cupid?

With the Valentine’s Crawl a mere 5 weeks away, it’s time to start thinking about what to wear. Rules for this crawl is that you must wear red, pink or white. But perhaps going up another level and doing the cupid thing may be an option. See you soon -C.I.B.

Koozie Contest

C.I.B. Koozies

Today, we are having our first ever photo contest. For you Crawlers that have attended all four crawls featuring the koozie giveaways, you will have an edge. Three winners will receive a gift certificate to JA Stats located at 99 Broad Street in Boston.

The contest is easy, send a photo of you and the 4 koozies that were given out this year (Birthday Crawl, Pirate Crawl, Halloween Crawl and Christmas Crawl) to crawlinboston@gmail.com by midnight tomorrow, 12/13/09. We will choose the winners from the submissions at random.

If you don’t have all four koozies, you still may be in luck. If we don’t receive photos from three different people with the four koozie set, we will draw names from the people who send in pictures with three koozies.

Thanks and have a fantastic weekend -C.I.B.

12 Bars of Christmas Update

Hey Crawlers,

We are just days away from the 4th Annual 12 Bars of Christmas presented by Crawl In Boston. Back on December 17th 2005, a few dozen of us joined at the Greatest Bar to kickoff the initial gathering. Among the guests were two acquaintances that met and I’m proud to say this past August I attended their wedding. We’re looking forward to some more great memories this weekend.

We have 400 koozies and plenty of nametags. We’ll have stations set up at each bar where you can get your goodies and make your optional $5 (or more!) donation to the Horizons for Homeless Children Charity. Your donations mean so much especially during the holiday season. We will have very limited change available so please have the exact number of money you want to donate available.

There’s been a lot of interest in this event. In the past week alone, we’ve received many mentions in the press including the Boston Herald, Stuff Magazine and Lola. At last look, we’re over 750 confirmed and 900 maybe. Obviously there’s no bar in Boston that can accommodate that number of people at the same time. All the bars have been notified and will be staffed accordingly all day. However, please think of the released schedule as an outline. The Crawl In Boston team is going to stay on it as best as possible for nametags and koozies but we may not be able to get into some places at the correct time due to capacity issues. But as long as everyone keeps their holiday spirit, we’ll all have an amazing time.

Looking forward to seeing you and your awesome holiday outfits
