| Who? | YOU?!? |
|---|---|
| Why? | Cause you're great, you know that? |
| When? | I DUNNO |
| Oh Shit | Waddup |
Oh boy oooo weeee! You're a special fella or gal! Most love stumbling drunkenly into a stranger's apartment, I mean, who wouldn't? BUT! Who among us enjoys hosting such a thing? Who would want the risk of fines, the need to mop up, the wrecked bathroom, and all the rest? Well hopefully somebody, hopefully you!
Pros & Cons
| Cons | Pros |
|---|---|
| Your house will be dirtier after the event. | Volunteers usually stick around to keep the peace and clean up after |
| You won't get paid and a lot of participants won't thank you | Most decent crawl organizers will give you an extra 24 and heap on the thanks! |
| You may get fined. This will suck. They can be as high as $400 | If there's such thing as karma, there's party karma. You'll be paying into the pool by hosting a crawl |
| Your apartment may get damaged | If you want to have a ton of fun, show others a good time, and celebrate, this is it! |
Tips for Hosting an Apartment Crawl
These are tips to maximize fun and minimize fun, but think about it: if my apartment gets dirty and disrespected, or I get a fine, will I be okay with that?
- Make or choose a playlist in advance, set the tone for the stop that you want (maybe theme appropriate + whatever's popular)
- Classics and singalongs always go down well at the end of the crawl when people are feeling bubbly!
- Consider running a simple game from one of the following or make up one of your own if groups are small and spaced out
- Boat Races (time honoured)
- Time trials - Beer Ladder (great for variable flow and showing your dominance)
- Group chug (if you're in a rush)
- Theme based trivia
- Stack / Slap / Strip cup! (these take time)
- Tummies
- Civil War (like beer pong but with extra cups, each shot in someone needs to drink)
- Ask for everything needed to host your stop. That means:
- Cups
- Materials for Games
- Sign making material if your apartment is hidden or the bathroom is hard to find
- Enforcing no-shoes is very difficult in the winter, consider accepting that you'll need to mop OR put down a tarp (it works!)
