For those of you who have not been a part of it before the short version of what goes on is this:

The most basic information you need to know is that the GIPC is free to participate in, open to anyone wherever they live in the world, and that through your participation you will meet [online at least] some most excellent people.

The plan goes like this – on Saturday May 31st 2008,  people all around the world will go bar/pub crawling as best they can. In 2007 we had 143 venues in 66 cities in 16 countries on all 7 terrestrial continents participating! You might want to crawl with your normal drunken mates or use this as opportunity to meet people from online brewing forums in your area etc. Some places even use the opportunity to raise funds for local charities.

So what do you do if you want to be more involved?

Well first of all tell us the name of city & country you are crawling in – then when you work out what bars/pubs/houses/gutters you will be in tell us that too!

The easiest way to tell us is by mailing us at Pyssedas@yahoo.com

If you want to be more involved come over to the crawl forum at:

This week we welcomed more venues in South Africa, Austria, Germany and Australia.

We now have 27 venues in 23 cities in 7 countries on 5 continents participating – this is great – but a long way behind where we have been previously so please get involved if you have not already done so – just email us where you are going to be on the day and of course ask any questions you might have – pyssedas@yahoo.com
