Whistler Clubs and Bars and Party Party Party – Remembering December 12th, 2009
Big thank you to all of those who made it out on the 12th of December. What a night that was! Shall we do a recap? I think we shall… … … I think we shall!
Cinnamon Bear Bar and Grille
We started off at Cinnamon Bear, and when I first walked in an hour early to set up I noticed that there were a lot of people there who didn’t look like they were on the crawl. They were standing around the halls drinking coffee and chatting about travel deals or something like that. Well, it turns out that there was a convention of traveling salespeople that were having their convention right outside the bar that we start at. It made it a little bit crowded in the hallways to set up for the wristbands and what not, but we made due. My brother, who was visiting from Toronto, helped quite a bit setting up the place, it was awesome to have him there. Thanks Tony, you can see him in picture below with me on the far right.
One of the great things about having that convention there is that a lot of people from the convention were asking me “what’s this you’re setting up?” to which I replied; “it’s the club crawl. It’s the bomb diggity shizzznat.” If my vernacular didn’t scare them off, they purchased a ticket right then and there. Awesome!
In Cinnamon Bear we managed to feed everyone pretty well. Then on to the next one. Every time I say “On to the next one”, I think of this song (below (uncensored)). It would make a good ringtone.
GLC (Garabaldi Lift Co.)
It’s been a while! We used to start the club crawl in GLC in the summer, but the winter has created different circumstances that and we haven’t been able to go there lately. But we managed to trade up Brewhouse for GLC. Reason being, Brewhouse is a bit too tiny. We love it there, but we had over 100 people on this crawl and we didn’t want to go over capacity. Big thanks to Mike and Derek from Brewhouse, they’re the bomb digg, word to ya moms.
We managed to get everyone into GLC quite quickly. Not an easy task considering we have to check 2 pieces of everyone’s identification before they enter the bar. But luckily we had Mr. Andy Potter, possibly the world’s greatest doorman. Here’s a picture of Andy from another night a few weeks ago. Strapping young lad he is. Thanks again for the good work buddy!
We made it inside and quickly got our drinks and partied it up. We had Blake and Nick organize an awesome powwow of people (let’s call it). I remember I thought I’d get a couple jugs of beer for some of the crawlers. When I asked for plastic cups, they replied. “Sorry, we only have glass cups…” I said; “oh”. Sure enough, 25 minutes later I heard a glass broke. Oh you silly kids!
The vibe in GLC was really great. I think everyone had a great time and everyone hopes that we can make it back there again in future crawls. Fingers crossed!
After GLC it was off to…
The Savage Beagle
Savage Beagle kicks bottom. We managed to get everyone over to the Beagle pretty fast, we did two groups and everyone came pretty quickly. Coats got checked pretty fast and everyone was partying pretty hard.
Downstairs in Savage beagle is where it really goes off. Every week we’re there we have a dance off and limbo competition. It’s probably the funniest thing you’ve ever seen. Everyone has been drinking for 3 hours plus, and have the confidence in the limbo. But nooooooooo! You can’t limbo well after 3 hours. Heh! That’s why we play it. Sadly, I don’t think we got any camera shots this week of the limbo. I blame Tyler. C’mon Tyler. What’s the deal yo? Tyler is one of guides, but he had the night off so he just partied. The camera was all over the place. Maybe I should blame Jamieson. Jamieson, what the hell? See Jamieson below.
Anyway, sorry for no shots of that, but it was funny. We had a bunch of loungers chillin’ on the side in Beagle. It seemed like everyone was squished into one side of the room there. That’s cool. Do what you gots ta do!
Then… On to the next one!
Garfinkels
There nothing as good as a finale as Garfinkels Nightclub. Like Woah…. I mean like WOAH! It’s amazing that we get to skip the cover charge, it’s amazing we hook you up with two tickets inside, it’s amazing that we just party like it’s 1999 every single Saturday night.
Our good man Blake was freaking out at the end of the night cause it was really difficult for him to move all the crawlers in such a way that we don’t have to wait in line for 30 minutes to get us all in. But he did it and we got in and the party continued. Some of you partied all night, while others called it a night after only 40 minutes in Garf’s. Some of you didn’t even make it to Garf’s. That’s cool though, that’s the way we like it! Thanks Blake, you’re the man!
Everyone had an awesome time on the crawl and it’s always so much fun to have everyone there. See you next time!
