Is anybody interested in arranged transportation for this? I have a few friends who want to rent maybe a big van or small bus so nobody has to worry about drinking and driving. I'm fine with organizing it if I can get some people on board. Please message me if you're in so I can get a head count and start researching prices.
Thanks!

Marion, great idea. But make sure to coordinate with April who started this thread. We don't want duplicate endeavors.

I organized a San Diego home crawl in 2005 as a prelude to our New Years Eve celebration. We used rental transport to keep everyone together and allow virtually all to drink.
It worked out well and most people who participated seemed to enjoy that format.
Here is a link to that event way back 5 years ago....

Big thank-you to Marion for looking into a bus/van for anyone who may be interested. As a reminder, the crawl organizers will *not* be providing transportation between homes, so you will need to make your own arrangements (driving, carpooling, cab fare, etc). If you think that the bus/van is the best option for you and want to get in on what Marion is looking into, hit her up.
To give everybody some more info on where we'll be going (and a little hint about what we'll get to see), the time frame will be as follows:
noon-1:00: Derek/Monkeyman's South Pacific Room
2:00-3:00
3:30-4:30
5:00-6:00
6:30-7:30
8:00-midnight: Matt Reese's Lava-Flow-Inn
Monkeyman's South Pacific Room is in Vista--I know, I know, it's not technically San Diego, but it is definitely worth the trek. Vista is about 45 minutes north of central San Diego; if this is farther than you want to drive, no problem--feel free to skip it and join in the crawl at stop number 2 (back in SD). But be aware that if you do skip it, this is the awesomeness you'll be missing: http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=35684&forum=20
This is the only stop on the crawl that isn't in San Diego proper.
For anyone still standing, Matt Reese will keep the party going until midnight at the Lava-Flow-Inn, which is more awesomeness:
http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=25372&forum=20&start=0
I'll provide the names of some motels in the vicinity of Matt's place, so if you're coming from out of town, or you live in town but aren't up for driving yourself home afterward, you'll know what's nearby.
I'm still finalizing which of the other four crawl stops will be in which time slot in between, but they're all within pretty short distance of each other (30 minutes will be more than enough time to get from house to house). More details to come.
Mahalo!
April

I'd love to take part in this but unfortunately don't have a tiki bar setup at my current pad. Will all be welcome, including those without hosting abilities?
Sounds fantastic!
Edit: Just realized I'll be in Maui that weekend. Hope this becomes annual and I can host next year if the world doesn't end in Dec 2012.

I'd love to come down for this. Very open to riding the bar crawl short bus. Let me know. If you've got the space I'll make the time.

Hey party people!
I have some quotes for tiki transportation in the form of two different options, from which I will pick a final one based on the number of responses.
A big, basic, churchy-style van runs $20-25/person.
We also found the Big Woody bus (photo), which is quite a bit more in price, but it’s a pretty cool option if enough people are into the idea. That will run about $47-50/person. The cool thing about that, besides the super surfy styling is the fact that we can drink on the bus between stops since it’s a chartered service.
I want to book either option the first week of February, so I would love some feedback as soon as possible!
Thanks everybody!

Hi Marion,
That bus looks really cool.
If you go the bus route, consider one with a restroom.
I went on a bar crawl(not TC)without one and OH BOY!, not a happy crowd. (Yes, they cost extra)
There's a certain Dennys restaraunt we crashed where we're not welcome back at.
