The bus is the single biggest expense, the single biggest risk, and one of the hardest aspects to organize (selling the tickets, head counts, coordinating with the bus company, managing crowd expectations with each location, etc.) L The event is getting off to a late start as it, and in order to reduce the amount risk I decided to drop the Bus from my organizing duties and focus on other aspects of the event. I strongly encourage crawl goers to organize your own transportation options in the California Events forum, and I'll link to those topic(s) from the main Crawl site. Mahalo! Hanford

Not having to drive in unfamiliar cities, hanging out with fellow TC'ers, and delicious rum drinks sounds great. It'll take incredible super powers to be a designater driver at an event like this. Any volunteers???

Joined: Apr 29, 2004 Posts: 446	B Bohemiann Posted posted on Thu, Sep 20, 2007 8:35 AM I will check and see if Chris is going to try and come with me again this year. He.... does not drink but is a real sport and might be willing to drive a van the last night if I score him a ticket with my Skymiles. Although I am trying to use them to get me close to Easter Island. He was appreciative last year but I think I would much rather he show it this year by driving instead of giving me stubble burn.

Any volunteers??? I would encourage people to look not just into taxis, but also 8,10,12,14 or more passenger limos or vans. Start PMing people, round up friends- we'll post the names of some reputable limo/shuttle companies we've worked with in the past. It is a great feature, and hell, if you're feeling a little spendy, you can get something much nicer than what we could afford in the past. Don't panic- it will be fine.

The locations and times will be published soon and you'll have the info you need to arrange what you want.

TC Tiki Chris Member London Joined: Mar 24, 2002 Posts: 1542	TC Tiki Chris Posted posted on Fri, Sep 21, 2007 2:48 AM I'm really thinking that I'll be able to attend this. Question: What's happening on Sunday the 11th? Just wondering so I'll know when to book my return flight (on Sunday or Monday). Mahalo, Chris
H hanford_lemoore Tiki Socialite Tiki Central Joined: Mar 23, 2002 Posts: 1899	H hanford_lemoore Posted posted on Fri, Sep 21, 2007 3:29 AM Wow Chris, it would be really cool if you made it! Sunday is typically a slower day on the crawl, starting around 11:00 or noon, with one location and a lot of Play-Doh. Seriously. It's kind of "nurse the hangover" day, release some stress with play-doh ... and it gives time for the organizers to finally relax. it goes until whenever(I think I left at 5 or 6pm last year), and is very informal -- but it is also very fun and social; a different vibe than the other days. Last year it turned into a barbecue, but that was in the summer when it was warmer. While the schedule is not set in stone, that's what Sunday will be, more or less. ~Hanford On 2007-09-21 02:48, Tiki Chris wrote: I'm really thinking that I'll be able to attend this.

I would have loved to stay the extra day but I'll really need to get back home. Before the Crawl, I'll be in San Diego for the Tiki Magazine Art Show on November 2nd. I'm still sorting out what happens between San Diego and the Crawl. See you kids soon! Chris [ Edited by: Tiki Chris 2007-09-21 07:43 ]

Awesome Bartender and all round Brilliant Guy that Martin!!! :D I was kinda thinkin' the same thing....figured the average long van/Limo holds 10 people, that's just 5 couples, $50 bucks a head just like the bus....minus the nice goody bags and sharing such a fun evening with 40 other tipsy Tiki revelers!!! Sacramento Tiki Crowd - Napa/Santa Rosa let's pull the Grape White North together!! :lol: Could even plan on the hotel near either Trader Vic's Emeryville or the A Frame place near Forbidden Island - depending on the schedule, for the after party! :wink:

C Chongolio Member The Coast of Kauai Joined: Oct 02, 2002 Posts: 2765	C Chongolio Posted posted on Fri, Sep 28, 2007 7:13 PM Yes I will be crawlin' for at least one of the nights. Plans are still in the works. Turns out the crawl was scheduled at a time when I was already planning to be in Caifornia for the Tiki Mag Art Show in San Diego, so I added a few days to my time off so I could make the scene and hang out with Tiki Chris, Tiki Racer and all you other cool cats and kittens. Unga- MUSH, I say! MUSH MUSH you lazy sod.

S suzanne Member Oakland Joined: Mar 31, 2005 Posts: 666	S suzanne Posted posted on Sat, Sep 29, 2007 9:26 AM I don't need the corruption, I'm already doing pretty good there! I just need to decide if I'm insane enough to try and swing a one day affair back to the Island.... These are the details; I have a performance on Friday night at 8pm (probably until 11) and then a matinée on Sunday, at 3pm. So, IF I made it, I'd have to: Catch a flight at the crack of dawn to Oakland (there are no Friday night red-eyes, I checked, so I'd be on the 5am plane) Get in around 9am or so. Attempt to sleep, although I imagine with my excitement this would be somewhat difficult Crawl all night Saturday, carouse, see all of my wonderful ohana from all over the US!, and generally be merry Catch the 5am flight back Sunday morning Arrive back in Texas about 11am Sunday Drive directly from the airport to the theater in Denton for a 1pm call, 3pm curtain ... and sing a 3 hour Gounod opera with no sleep, and most certainly a very healthy amount of rum in my system. As I told Bohemiann, they don't call me the 'Queen of Insane Fabulousness' for nothing (and they do)! So, what I'm really trying to decide is if I think I can pull this off. It wouldn't be the first time I've done something this insane (hence the moniker), and is certainly WOULD be fabulous, and I want to see all of you desperately, BUT, well, the cons are certainly apparent, aren't they?

S Sgirl Member Oakland Joined: Sep 05, 2007 Posts: 37	S Sgirl Posted posted on Sat, Sep 29, 2007 12:34 PM Suzanne, I don't envy your decision making! It's a tough one! I did something like this a few months ago. While it was worth it at the time, I did get a cold, which wasn't too bad, but then the cough hung on for a loong time (8 weeks). In hind sight, I wish I'd found a way to build a little more cushioning into my schedule (still not sure how, though). Is there anyway you can get someone to cover for you or trade with you or reschedule one of your performances? I know sometimes none of this is possible, but thought I'd throw it out in case you hadn't thought of it. It was great meeting you at Hinky Drinks! All the best with your tough decision.
S suzanne Member Oakland Joined: Mar 31, 2005 Posts: 666	S suzanne Posted posted on Tue, Oct 2, 2007 6:09 AM Hi Sgirl: Unfortunately, I don't get the option of asking someone to cover for me... not in performance! Such is just how it is, sometimes. I'd sure love to make it out for the crawl, and while I still might, on the other hand, I know I definitely should not! Suzanne
