Comments on: Crawldo: 2nd Annual Waldo Pub Crawl http://irishkc.com/crawldo-2nd-annual-waldo-pub-crawl.htm Kansas City Irish Festivals, Music, Pubs, & Events by an Artist in Ireland Thu, 24 May 2012 00:58:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Irish KC http://irishkc.com/crawldo-2nd-annual-waldo-pub-crawl.htm#comment-87 Irish KC Sat, 29 Apr 2006 03:41:00 +0000 http://irishkc.com/?p=328#comment-87 Whether from Bobby Baker's or from Tanner's, it's four numbered streets down Wornall. Since the point of a Pub Crawl is to actually stop at each pub and drink in there, it's disingenuous to double the distance as if there was no break. Otherwise you could add up the entire length of the crawl and call it a sponsored walk - which I'm sure comes to a mile anyway - if you're talking a full circular trip. If it rains, well it rains, and one gets as wet as they get walking across the parking lot from Lew's excellent Grill & Bar to Fin's or Kennedy's. Funny enough it was raining tonight and I did that very walk. I don't think I would have got any wetter with cocktails inside me. Don't mean to be a pain - as the Crawldo is a great idea, but couldn't something like "get your card stamped in 6 out of 7 pubs" work? It would give people a whole range of options for routes based on their walking preference, and a get out clause for an outlier pub if it rained. With the Gaf being by a Max stop I don't see why people couldn't forgo the round-trip, finish at The Gaf, and then bus back drily and safely to their car a few blocks south?

A one mile round trip is not something I want to do when I had a few cocktails. What if it rained? The Gaf is 1/2 mile from the nearest bar in Waldo.
