Great Intercontinental Pub Crawl 2005

[Guest Lurker]

Bit late now, but you would be better to try Scott Base, the NZ station in Antarctica. Scott Base only has about 10 or 15 people at this time of year, usually all hard drinking kiwis, and often one gets involved with brewing beer over winter, as the base has a bar. It is also about 2 km from a huge USA base, McMurdo, which had three bars and hundreds of navy people in it when I was there. I did a pub crawl of all 4 pubs in 1987 and the problem was it was so cold between pubs you sobered up. But that was in Summer, at this time of year it will be dark, cold and windy, so might be difficult to get over the hill between the two bases.

excellent advice and thanks - don't suppose you have held on to any contacts there?

Sorry, 1987....they've even changed the names of the govt depts that run the base since then, and the people are changed every year, as they go a bit loopy after being stuck there in teh dark.

3 months in summer. Spent a while camped on a mountain and had to put the cans of steinlager on the primus as they were frozen solid. Still have a few photos around the place if you're interested next time you come round for a beer.

End thread hijack.

have emailed them - it will hurt if the kiwis are more helpful than the aussies - but you take the help where you can get it i guess

it is too dark in melbourne at the moment - have no idea how people survive the kinds of conditions they have down there

T-shirt designs are now closed - but that doesn't mean you can't register for the crawl - if you and your mates wish to be a part of the crawl let us know ASAP and we can add you to the site:

We are now up to 6 continents - 16 countries - 41 cities - 90 venues [would love to make 100] - and more african and south american cities

Australia has now overtaken the US in terms of most participating cities - Victoria and New South Wales both have 4 participating cities - California is just behind them with 3 in their state

ready, set...

...it's go time. tee shirts have been printed, pubs nominated, tours planned.

all international crawlers who have requested tees - they're on their way team! we do hope that they arrive in time. if not, wear black and silver for the team on the day and in the new week, you will receive your shirts which will surely aid your recovery and be a precious token of your involvement with the soon-to-be notorious inter-continental pub crawl.

the website is now a little out of date. however, friday night we will send a word doc of all venues and cities which are participating, which you can print out and show off to fellow crawlers, friends, publicans and random interested (or disinterested) surface folk - this means that if you are yet to tell us your venues, we are but 24 hours away from finalising submissions for this prestigious event.

we now have over 100 venues participating - 47 cities, 18 countries. kickazz team!

we will do one final print run of teeshirts after the event, for those who decide late that they want momentos of the day. payments must be received by wednesday 1st june.

if none of this makes sense, email us at [email protected] or check out the website at www.geocities.com/pyssedas/crawl_2005

all the very best from your loving team administrators from pyssedas HQ (somewhere in melbourne's super-terranial inner west).

Kind Regards and HUZZAH!
