Ok, so my pat answer for requested feedback is not entirely germane herein, but I like to throw it out nonetheless. Crawl wise? yeah, I seen a few. Here we go: I'd have to say the anchor hotel is a good idea, and East Bay for the location as well. Stops per night should stay at four, maximum. In terms of SF, ugghh. We have to keep Trad'r Sam's for pure history's sake. Tonga as well, even though each time I visit that once great room in the Fairmont I leave sad and discouraged. East Bay? More time at FI would be great, the drinks there are the best overall. Conga, sadly, is just too small and while Kona is beautiful and has plenty of space I cannot say I visit it anytime other than the Crawl. South Bay, I like a small start to things...Vic's and the Stanford (eek!) garden would be fine with me. Remember, the Crawl is a marathon, not a sprint! The Emeryville Vic's stop was great last year, much better than starting there in the early afternoon. That would be the one "new" thing I'd like to see repeated. One thing I wish we'd see more of is out of towners attending the festivities. I mean, sure, I don't necessarily wish to see the SF Crawl a global media event with corporate sponsorship and Pay-per-View, but more visitors is better. Heck, I recall when we'd get people coming from Canada, and once there was a guy from France...Paris, that is. Even the Hoities have been fewer are farther between. So, in conclusion...double Isaacs for the SF Crawl! Set a course for adventure, midnite
