There is mention of a hotel crawl in planning separately from a pub crawl. What is a hotel crawl?

[madPete]

Its right after the pub crawl. for those who can get back to the hotel ... LOL

mP

[Animal]

Close Pete....lolol......Mr. Brand, the hotel crawl has pretty much been scrapped. Originally we thought there would be enough participation to warrant working some deals with a couple of hotels. Alas that didn't come to bear. Working with a hotel is in the works, more info if that if it happens. To clarify, there are some folks who are still planning on going, they've already booked lodging. How many, I do not know. Anyone going down will be on their own hook for lodging unless there is enough actual commitment and interest in doing an encampment, then and only then will a effort be made to try to set that up. The Pyrat Brethren has been public for a couple of months now but a majority of those who stated they would be interested and want to help have fallen by the wayside. We are trying to keep a presence there so if and when we can make a presentation to the park service for a 2016 FTPI, they will see that there is an active interest in keeping the event. Right now Tallahassee has shut the door. The green shirts as well as the new manager are still interested but can't do anything until the powers that be open that door again. We are trying to keep the door cracked open instead of slammed shut and bolted. Only by active participation will that door open. That is the jest of what we are trying to accomplish. I for one will not be able to attend for a few years because of my employment status but I full support and am working behind the scenes to try to assist this event or something similar happens in the future. I hope all of this makes some sense.

What specific positions need to be filled in order to cover all of your volunteer needs? What are the responsibilities of each volunteer position? Time requirements?

[Animal]

Let me get Spike to answer this. He has a better grasp on what needs to be done. I'll get back asap with an answer or he will.

[William Brand]

Thanks, Animal. Are there any updates on the volunteer needs for this event?

[Animal]

I am now the official liaison for the Pub. I will be posting more information with who to contact for events if folks want to volunteer. I should have this info posted tomorrow evening.

[William Brand]

Is the 'historic seaport' the fort or is it Mallory Square?

[Animal]

I believe it's Mallory, I know it's not the fort. I'll get clarification and report back. After doing a search, the historic seaport is the Key West Bight. This encompasses a large area of Key West. It includes the Harbor Walk and is where most of the commercial vessels and guides are slipped.
