Pub Crawl 2008 - NE Portland



Well we survived another Pub Crawl. After discussing and planning for a few months it is always sad when the event is over.

This was by far our biggest turnout ever with just under 70 people joining the debauchery. Thank you to all that participated and only 349 more days until Pub Crawl 2009 - LOCATION UNDISCLOSED.

1. Binks
2. Alleyway Cafe
3. Mash Tun
4. The Know
5. The Nest
6. Alberta Street Pub

How NOT to shotgun a beer

I definitely need some practice at this long lost art of shotgunning a beer.

Every once in a while....In life........You run into a genius with a true talent!!


THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:

NW Portland - 2007 Crew

Paparazzi?

Apparently there were paparazzi there too! Gina and Steph ended up in a picture in the window of Slabtown in the May 29, 2007 publication of The Portland Tribune. Pub Crawl is practically famous!

Picture mania!

Oh yes, we took over 300 pictures!


One minor casualty...

Sure, we had one crawler hit by a car; but we weren't going to let that get us down - and neither was Kevin B!

Here we see Kevin B having a good time, minding his own business...
Then-BAM!, a vehicle scathes his side as he is heading to the next bar.
Not to worry, Kevin B was OKAY! And what better way to commemorate the event then to draw about it on his shirt and blame the Beavers! Cause we all know only a Beaver would hit a happy-go-lucky beer drinker while he's enjoying a good crawl.

Ya gotta crawl, before you can run

Here are some more shots from the amazing 2007 sequel.





Let it be known the bar name Yurs was hand modified on some of the t-shirts to read Up-Yurs.

Yurs decided that their shit hole waste of space was too PRECIOUS for our group of crawlers and informed us that we were NOT WELCOME. You know it is bad when bartenders who normally deal with crusty cab drivers (Yurs is right next to a large taxi service) think your group is not worthy.

Some of us crawlers decided to stick our head in after leaving Slabtown (great place) and there was one lone patron at the bar. Well their brilliant exclusion cost them an easy $250.

Modification of Shirt Design

As hard as we try, we just can't please everyone with our shirt designs. Being the fashion diva that she is, Leanne had to sport her own sense of style. In a moment of desperation, she grabbed the pruning sheers and constructed her own drinking shirt...


Crawlin'

The best part about Pub Crawl is the crawlin'. You never know what could happen....




PC 2007 had some wonderful moments!

2nd Annual Pub Crawl - NW Portland

ALONG TIME AGO (well 1 year)

IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY (not really, SE Portland)

A SMALL GROUP OF REBELS BRAVED THE HARSH ELEMENTS (May sunshine)

WITHOUT FEAR, THESE BRAVE SOULS RISKED THEIR VERY LIVES (ok, just their livers)

IN AN ATTEMPT TO EXPLORE SOME OF THE GALAXIES TOUGHEST ENVIRONMENTS (local bars)

M M V I I

THERE IS UNREST IN THE GALAXY (boredom)

OVERCOME AND EXHAUSTED BY THE DEADLIEST OF SINISTER AGENTS (thirst)

OUR REBELS HAVE FLED TO A REMOTE PLANET DEVOID OF ALL LIFE (well devoid of parking)

THE EVIL FORCES HAVE DISPATCHED COUNTLESS BOUNTY HUNTERS TO STOP THEM (yuppies)

WILL OUR REBELS SURVIVE THE DAY?

Crawlin in SE PDX

My favorite 2006 Pub Crawl moments....(that I can remember)

Annie rollin down a hill, tater tots from Side Street, walkin in to the bars and gettin weird looks, playin pool, shot-gunnin a beer with Steph, "Seriously" written on too many name tags, skipping to the next bar with Mel, flames drawn on Chanylle's arms, mexican fine dining on Hawthorne, and ending the night will watching a band at the Hawthorne Theater.

Yes sir, we sure did start this tradition off right! Here's to all the many, many years of crawlin to come....

Welcome!

In the midst of planning the 3rd Annual Portland Pub Crawl we realized that a blog was a must in documenting our beer drinking adventures as we crawl our way through the neighborhoods of Portland. Each year the crowd gets bigger, the stories crazier and the bars eagerly anticipate our arrival.

The following posts chronicle our adventures and all the debauchery that ensued. We hope to hear from our fellow crawlers and encourage you to post comments, thoughts, stories and things you might remember (if you remember anything at all).

Great memories have been made and even more crazy adventures are to come. So start your beer training cause this years crawl is almost here. Can you keep up?!
