Another year of Reno Santa Pub Crawl has come to a close.
"Success" is one word for it, but I'd say that doesn't do it
full justice. Many thanks to all the Santas, Mrs. Santas,
Elves, and other holiday creations for participating in this
year's Reno Santa Pub Crawl. Looking through the
pictures shows just how
much Christmas Spirit our 3000 participants have and how we
can enjoy ourselves while raising over $6,000 dollars for
the Hashimoto Widows and Orphans Fund.
As
you can image this event takes a lot of planning, I would
like to personally thank the following: Rebecca for all of
her hard work keeping me organized, Melody for the bracelets
sales and bar collections, Dorothy for selling the most
bracelets, Lisa for dealing with the City permits, Gator and
Doug for updating the website, Damian for his artistic
contribution, Ted for finding a hotel that would take the
Santas, and Tommy for the last minute things that help make
this event great.
Also, please help me in thanking all of our sponsors of this
year's Crawl by your patronage of their fine establishments
throughout the year.
It was that time of year again when
hundreds of Santas descended upon downtown
Reno to enjoy good sprits and Yule-tide
cheer. Over 1000 costume clad wassailers
enjoyed the jolly,
drunken frivolity of the 7th Annual Reno
Santa Pub Crawl. And as always, all
proceeds will benefit charity, this year, the
Hashimoto Widows and Orphans' Fund for
the families of fallen law enforcement
officers of various agencies in the
Reno-Sparks area.
This year's Reno Santa Pub Crawl was
like no other event! We made it
easier for you to eat, drink, and be
merry! We exceeded our own
expectations this year by having over 30
bars lined up with extra staff to
accommodate the Santas and drinking
pleasure. Many of the bars offered
drink specials to only our SANTAS!!
Our event is drawing nationwide
attention, and the media was
invited to observe the awesome power of
the Reno Santa Crawl!!
And now, we proudly present...
THE RULES TO
CRAWL BY
Participants MUST BE at least 21
years old!
The
big, burly, girly men will be
checking ID's. Please remember
to bring valid identification!!
Participants must wear the
appropriate attire!
A
complete Santa Suit or Mrs.
Claus Outfit, snowman, a crown
of thorns and a loin cloth or
some other festive decoration.
Spicy is good. The point is to
have fun, possibly make an ass
of yourself, and to make the
holidays a great time! Please
keep in mind that the winter
weather in Reno is relatively
cold, but the bars and casinos
are more than comfortable while
in your Santa Suit and
especially when the alcohol
starts flowing.
This
is a free event: There are no
tickets to purchase to
participate!
(you
will, unfortunately, be charged
for drinks). Additionally, if
you want to donate to the
'Claus', souvenir bracelets are
available to buy at
participating Crawl Stops, or
send a check to the Hashimoto
Widows and Orphans Fund - please
write Reno Santa Pub Crawl in
the memo line.
This
year, there are three specific
starting points for the Santa
Crawl this year: the 21st
Amendment, the Imperial, and the
Underground.
With
all the Santas expected to be
enjoying the spoils of a few
tasty beverages, why not spread
it out all over town?
The
N210 is the Official After the
Arch Bar.
This
will allow us finally get all of
the Santas in one place at the
same time.
The
Official Reno Santa Crawl Map
will be given to every Santa at
the 21st Amendment, the
Imperial, and the Underground.
We will post the map on the
website about a week before the
Crawl! So PLEASE check back
often and tell your friends!
Participating Bars paid various
sums of money to see you.
We
strongly suggest frequenting the
bars that contributed to the
'Clause' first... then move on
to any others.
Please
remember to finish your tasty
beverage before leaving each
establishment.
DO NOT
LET ANYONE DRINK AND DRIVE!! NO
EXCUSES!!
If
someone is too wasted to crawl,
help them get a cab home!
Never
hang out in the same place for
more than 20-30 minutes.
Bring
EXTRA Santa hats, candy and
stuff to give out.
PLEASE
tip the bartenders!
They
deserve every penny for putting
up with our shit! ;)
Don't
steal or fight, because it's BAD
and you will burn in hell!
Never
play with yourself! I
mean...DON'T EVER be anywhere
ALONE in your suit!!
Occasional nudity is optional,
just don't get caught!
Bring
a camera so you can take
pictures if there IS any nudity!
Oh
yeah...and to take nice
wholesome pictures too!

(Bring Your Own Birth Control)
Year
after year, Santas are
propositioned by the opposite
sex. This includes, but is not
limited to: random groping,
touching, kissing, biting,
licking, pinching and possibly
sitting on Santa's lap!
Please
keep in mind that this event
will be at least 8 hours of
non-stop drinking and
debauchery!
