READ CAREFULLY & FILL OUT ASAP

The Epic Crawl is coming June 3rd! This is our Sci-Fi/Fantasy crawl we started last Spring that drew nearly 1,500 participants despite the unseasonably cold weather. We moved it nearly a month later this year so we won’t have that to worry about.

The Epic Crawl is a combination of all the stuff people love about costuming and fan conventions, so there’s a ton of themes to choose from (listed below).

DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION: Monday, April 17th

THIS YEAR
  • We’re expecting at least 1,500-2,000 participants
  • We’re bringing back the massive lightsaber battle
  • The event will be part of Reno Craft Beer Week
  • We are combining our Steampunk Stroll and Pokécrawl into this one, drawing all of those crawlers as well
  • We’re soliciting popular “Cosplay” stars and comic artists to join us and draw crowds
SIGNING UP GETS YOU
  • Listed on this year’s official posters coming by the beginning of May (we’ve had teasers out for months!)
  • Listed on our website (3-5,000 visitors a month)
  • An official announcement on our Facebook page listing your involvement (over 14,000 fans)
  • Cups and maps to sell to make back a portion of your participation fee (delivered by May 1st)

NOTE: due to size and number of venues, we must limit to one bar per multi-bar venue.

  • INVITE PEOPLE TO OUR FACEBOOK EVENT: The more people get invited the better
  • ADD OUR OFFICIAL EVENT TO YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE: You will be forwarded to a page containing instructions after you submit this form

TERMS & CONDITIONS

Every single one of our terms and conditions are very important. By submitting this form, you agree to the following terms and conditions. Bars who violate these terms may not be invited to future events.

  • CRAWL DURATION: I understand the crawl lasts from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am or when my venue closes. We will be open for crawlers by 7pm and extend our specials to participants for the duration of the crawl or until we close.
  • SPECIALS: My venue will offer at least one $3 beer special, one $3 drink special and one Premium Special priced $5 or more to participants. (You may also post other specials of varying prices as you wish.)
  • CHECKING IDS: My venue will ID every patron at the door and at the bar in order to ensure that no minor enters my bar, or gets served.
  • RED DESIGNATED DRIVER BRACELETS: My venue will offer free sodas to crawlers with designated driver bracelets
  • RED OPEN CONTAINER BARRELS: My venue will put our red open container barrel by our front door (if you’ve never received one we will provide one)

  • CLEANING UP: I will make sure the area around my venue is clean by the next morning.
  • LINE MANAGEMENT: We will keep any lines of participants from spilling into the street.
