To the participants!
I can't thank you enough for your
generous labors in multiplying the charity effort by gathering
pledges. I'm a bit astounded by how successful this event has been so
far.
Raffle
Raffle
We're going to have quite a few raffle
prizes. You will be able to buy tickets at the pubs during the event
and we'll draw for the winners when we arrive at the Haven. Tickets
will be 5 for $5, 12 for $10, and 29 for $20. Registered crawlers,
look for bonus tickets in your Angry Scotsman's Bag-O-Swag. Look for
Erin Wickens-Sussman with the Laphroaig can to buy your
tickets.
Getting around
Getting around
We
recommend parking near the Haven (2 Perkins Street, Jamaica Plain)
and taking the #39 bus from S.Huntington & Washington Streets to
Eugene O'Neill's (3700 Washington St, Jamaica Plain) or walking
there. The whole of the route is 1.7 miles.
Be careful not to over imbibe. We're all responsible adults and can take appropriate care to be healthy and safe. Do not drive if you've had too much. Think about making alternate travel arrangements if you think you might have one too many.

Time table
We're hoping to
have everyone ready to go by 1PM at Eugene O'Neill's. There, the
fully registered crawlers can pick up their event T-shirt and
Passbook.
The plan is to be
at each pub for about 40-45 minutes and when the piper and drummer
sound off, it'll be time to move to the next waypoint.
- O'Neill's 1-1:45
- James's Gate 2-2:45
- Costello's 3-3:45
- The Haven's Irn Bru Refreshment Station 4-4:15
- The Haven 4:30-?
Passbook
Remember to see Jason “Snag” Keith to get your passbook stamped at each stop. I'm wearing “the tartan's Keith, not Black Watch!” kilt. In fairness to the other participants and pledgers, no one will be able to jump out of the bushes on the last leg and claiming you completed the course.

I'll also be
keeping the tip jar for the piper and drummer, so show them some
love.
Grand Prize
We're still
assembling the grand prize based on total dollars raised at the
moment which will consist of several very cool “thank you's”, but
it will include a Laphroaig 10 (the Angry Scotsman's personal
favorite. This also may be upgraded). We will also have a second
prize for sheer number of pledges to reward the person who went that
extra mile bugging their friends and spreading the word for our great
organizations.
Singing
At some point or
two, I expect that there'll be a rendition of Flower of Scotland
(Scottish) and Minstrel Boy (Irish). If you don't know the words,
fear not. Lyrics can be found in the Passbook.
A big thanks to
our sponsors. Several of them will be on hand at the event and have
been quite generous in donating their product to the effort.
