The Yet Unnamed PAX Pub Crawl

So I was convinced that I should go to PAX this August, and since I'm told it's not really feasible to cram a ton of PAXgoers looking to get drunk into a hotel room, I'm going to organize an open bar crawl.
The theory is that there's so many bars near the WSCTC that even if we get ridiculous Sealab-style numbers showing up, we'll be able to split into as many teams as needed, so everyone who wants to attend can.
New more updated information:

So I made some changes to Doc's route just as an example of what we would have to do to make this work out.
This is on an 8:00PM to 2:00AM time schedule making a six hour full crawl, with two 3-hour mini-routes.
Full route
Pre-Dick's short route
Post-Dick's short route
(Note: I removed the Elysian for this example because 8 stops is one too many, but any other bar could be removed instead if that's more worthwhile)
If there's a big turnout, half of the people attending would be going backwards (Starting at Six Arms) and meeting up at Dick's in the center, so half-route people could choose a pass on either side, early or late.
That would basically make the schedule:
(X:XX XX - Group A / Group B )
8:00 PM - The Chapel / Six Arms
8:50 PM - The Stumbling Monk / Linda's
9:40 PM - Cafe Metropolitan / Barca
10:30 PM - Dick's --Midpoint. People leave/arrive.
11:20 PM - Barca / Cafe Metropolitan
12:10 AM - Linda's / The Stumbling Monk
1:00 AM - Six Arms / The Chapel
1:50 AM - Crawl ends/Last Call
Throw in some extra minutes for travel time because they aren't equal distances and it sounds like it could work
old OP:
Tentative time/date: Thursday night, sometime after the dinner or whatever.
Tentative locations: I don't know, I've never even been to Seattle.
And there's what I need help on. In searching around trying to do some research on this, I've found there's a pretty big handful of bars just west of the wsctc, but there's always the possibility that some of them are complete shitholes. So for those of you in the area, if you want to offer some suggestions or feedback, that would be awesome.
So far I've got the following that seem to be close enough to make a pretty decent route:
Blarney Stone Pub
Alibi Room
Amber
Sonya's Bar and Grill (No website - yelp page)
Whisky Bar
Nite Lite Lounge (No site, NWSource)
Kells Irish Pub
Shorty's
[strike]Crocodile[/strike] (er...I guess this disappeared, so that's out)
Lava Lounge
Rendezvous
Taphouse
Total: 11

Last year at PAX, both my friends, me and some guys we hung out with most of PAX. Went there on Sunday after the doors closed. The food was awesome, the servers was great and the atmosphere was calming.
I know you can also book parties there. And I believe it can hold up to around 100-200(maybe).
Kell's is made of god and win. Probably the most authentic Irish pub in the area.
EDIT: Also, Chapel Bar for the best martinis.
It will be nice to drink Fosters for once.
Also, the Elephant and Castle is a few blocks from the WSCTC and was pretty nice when we were there last year.
I'll add folks in search of some classy atmosphere and maybe something to eat with their booze should be happy with Taphouse and Sonya's. Taphouse is kinda business lounge, where Sonya's is pretty cute.
I updated the OP with links to the bars websites if they have any, so most of that information should be available there. I can put it into the OP for reference sometime, but, not right now.
Secondly, ElectricTurtle and Highfire speak true:
Why would people buy you booze? Are you an underaged girl or something?
Buy your own booze moochmeister.
But will you cocks buy my wife her booze? I'm not made of money and my Crown and Cokes add up.
I don't know...
Is she hot and open to ideas?:winky:
Yes, and depends on how hot the other female is.
:-D
Let me know if anyone's down. It might be good to do a d-town one and a u-dist one.
We could start at Finn's, then Earls, then Pizza Mart, then Immigrant, then end @ Dante's.
Well, actually it's the CCST most of all.
Well, actually it's the possibilty of being an Omeganaut most of all.
Well, actually it's the opportunity to hang out with tons of geeks who are into exactly what I'm into all weekend.
Well, actually it's this.
You know what? Fuck it. It's all of it.
Also, (kind of related as there's booze involved) do you guys know of any microbrewery tradings going on this year? My friends and I are from BC, Canada and don't mind bringing some of our local stuff down.
We'll go there, too.
Closer to PAX I'll figure out how this is all going to work. If there's a massive place we can use as a meeting point and first location, that would be pretty rad. The plan really depends on how many people plan on showing up for this, though. We should be able to accommodate any amount, but the way the night works out will change as more people come.
I am not bar crawling in Seattle topless.
Just....NO.
Hm.
Nope, no way to save that. Sorry, I tried.
See I can't remember if I suggested in one of the threads already if one day EVERYONE at PAX should just pour, well as fast as classic non-runner zombies can pour out of something, and we should just take over Seattle.
I so want Seattle to create some crazy video game law just so we can have a huge peaceful demonstration at city hall.
