Crawl is Today

Posted on February 12, 2011 Updated on February 12, 2011

It’s about that time Crawlers,

Staff Shirts — Our staff will be wearing this shirt

Today is our biggest crawl of the year. We’ve been snowed in for weeks, so it’s time to come out and play! We have three bars for each time slot, and there will be Crawl in Boston staff at each bar. Look for us in our light up heart shirts! We’ll be waiting to collect your $5 (or more) donation. As always, exact change is always GREATLY appreciated and it keeps the line moving. If you haven’t already, take a minute to check out the charity’s webpage: http://www.juliesfamily.org/

We’ll be giving out wristbands and nametags as well as koozies. We are limited to 750 koozies on a first come, first served basis. Keep in mind that we ran out of all our koozies during the 1^st bars last year. We will have plenty of wristbands and nametags. The wristbands will guarantee the drink specials and get you priority line privileges at the bars.

In the last couple of weeks, the RSVPs on the Facebook have skyrocketed. We know that not everyone actually shows up that RSVPs, but we still expect a big crowd. The bars know we’re coming and will be prepared, but we just want to remind everyone to have a good time and be kind to the bar staff and your fellow

crawlers. Some of the bars may fill up, so be patient and feel free to skip around on the schedule, the bars will all know to give the drink special. And you have plenty of options. You’ll definitely see crawlers all over Faneuil Hall.

You don’t have to be at the first bar to donate and get your wristband and nametag. We’ll have staff during the first 35 minutes of every bar time slot. As stated before, we only have 750 koozies but we have over 2,000 wristbands and nametags.

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

And take plenty of pictures and send them our way next week. We love them!

Red, pink, and black attire is encouraged, as are any brave cupids! See you soon!

Valentine’s Crawl 2011 – 2/12

Posted on February 3, 2011 Updated on February 8, 2011

2/7/11 – UPDATE – All Schedule announcements have been made. Check out the bars here

It’s 2011 and we’re looking forward to be bringing you the Valentine Crawl, our most popular event of the year.

Once again we’ll be supporting Julie’s Family Charity

Each bar providing a $3 (or less) drink.

And to combat the overcrowding at the bars, this time we’re have 3 bars per time slot.

Calling all Captains! Reps from Captain Morgan will be attending the V-Day Crawl and will be giving away free swag all day.

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
*Crawl in Boston Wristband – To guarantee drink specials and no covers

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.

Pictures from some of our past events can be found here

How Do I Sign Up?

We don’t have official registration. 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?

12 Bars of X-Mas Update

Posted on December 2, 2010 Updated on December 4, 2010

Hello Crawlers!

The 12 Bars of X-Mas is TODAY. I hope you’ve found your ugly holiday sweater or Santa Suit and are raring to deck the halls. I just have a few reminders/orders of business to ensure everything goes smoothly and everyone has a fantastic time.

1.) Holiday outfits aren’t required but highly encouraged. You can see some pictures from 2009 here.

2.) You don’t need to show up to the first bar to join the crawl. We may run out of koozies (limited to 400), but you’re welcome to join at any point during the event. We’ll have staff at all the scheduled bars as capacity allows.

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. If you haven’t, take a minute to look at the website for our charity, Horizons for Homeless Children. 100% of your donation goes to them, and 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 another big 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 4:00, but will be ready to welcome crawlers at 3:00, etc. The bars know we’re coming and should be prepared. We just want to remind everyone to have a good time and be kind to the bar staff and your fellow crawlers. We don’t want anyone getting on Santa’s naughty list! If you don’t get a chance to see us, you can always go to Horizon for Homeless Children’s website 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.

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)

Thanks, and hope to see you on Saturday. Cheers!

Happy Thanksgiving

Posted on November 24, 2010

Turkey Day is upon us. Follow these simple steps to ensure you still fit into your desk next Monday.

1) Holiday Sweater – you’ve just put on 8 pounds in the last 35 minutes. Hide it while being festive.

2) Top Off – Grandma can’t keep tabs on how many Hottie Totties you’ve downed if you never let your cup get more than half empty.

3) Hide and Seek – Hide a couch cushion. When your cousins all scramble for valuable sofa real estate after the feast, you can arrive late and still get VIP seating.

4) Stretch – do a few toe touches prior to overeating. No, this won’t clear any stomach room but relatives will think twice before grabbing the last helping of turkey out from you.

5) Smile – You are surrounded by loving friends and family. You don’t have to buy presents, put on a costume, or hide eggs. Fully enjoy this holiday with people you love.

I am looking forward to seeing you soon at our upcoming events. 12 Bars of Christmas is December 4th, the Bocce and Mini Golf seasons begin January 12th and our biggest crawl of the year, Valentine’s, is on February 12th.
