The 12 Bars of X-Mas Crawl is TODAY. I hope you’ve found your perfect holiday outfit and are raring to crawl with us. I just have a few reminders/orders of business to ensure everything goes smoothly and everyone has a fantastic time.

1.) Holiday themed attire isn’t required but are highly encouraged.

2.) You don’t need to show up to the first bar to join the crawl. We may run out of koozies (limited to 750*), but you’re welcome to join at any point during the event. We’ll have staff at all the scheduled bars as capacity allows. In the past, some crawlers will come register and then hit a bar scheduled for later.

3.) PLEASE come with the exact amount that you would like to give for your donation. We know it may be a pain, but it really keeps things moving if we don’t have to find/make change.  And if we don’t have change, you’ll have to break your $20 yourself and come back through the line. If you haven’t, take a minute to look at the website for our charity, Horizons for Homeless Children. It’s a great organization. As always, we thank our Crawlers for their extreme generosity!

4.) Thanks to our many, many dedicated crawlers, the turnouts have been huge. If we get the anticipated turnout like we did for Halloween and the scheduled bar fills up, you can skip around the schedule.  For instance, Trinity is on the schedule at 5:30, but they will be ready to welcome crawlers much earlier. The bars know we’re coming and will be prepared.  We just want to remind everyone to have a good time and be kind to the bar staff and your fellow crawlers. If you don’t get a chance to see us, you can always go to Horizons for Homeless Children and make a donation there.

5.) For updates check out Twitter or Facebook. We’ll be updating all day to let you know where we’re at.

6.) I’m going to say it again. PLEASE come with the exact amount you’d like to donate.

The SCHEDULE is here (as mentioned earlier, feel free to freelance and skip around as many bars may reach capacity early, you can always go back later) We realize that the facebook invite says the start time is 12:30 but it is really 1:00. For some reason, if more than 5,000 people are invited on a facebook invite, it won’t let you make changes to date or time.

In other news…please join us for Brahmin Social Sunday. We’re bringing brunch day parties to Boston starting next Sunday 12/11.

The Winter Bocce League begins on 1/18. We’ve filled over 70% of our team spots. Sign up today.

Here’s some good information to know:

* Supports the Horizons for Homeless Children Charity
* Optional donation to crawl with us – Crawl in Boston wants to provide you with as much fun as possible for as little as possible! – Crawlers are responsible for their own drinks.

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 Horizons for Homeless Children?

They help children learn how to play, to share, to read, and to enjoy exploring their worlds. They help parents learn how to be nurturing and involved in the growth and development of their children, and help them learn and grow through job training, GED and college courses. They help to stabilize families so that they can weather any crisis, and thus help to break the cycle of homelessness that too often occurs.

What does this event cost?

We are asking for $5.00 to attend. Please keep in mind that proceeds of your donation will go towards the Horizons for Homeless Children charity. However everyone who donates will also 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’s the schedule?

The schedule will be released as the event gets closer. Keep checking!

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
