The Fanueil Hall area can handle quite a few bar crawls at a time, I wouldn't worry about crowding
While this may be true of your average 10-20 person bar crawl, this is quite untrue of the PokeCrawl. We have issues just fitting *our* crawl into Faneuil bars effectively.

It depends on the bar. Can you confirm this is happening then?
Just for information's sake, folks:
PAX East last year was March 22-24. The official PAX East pokecrawl thread went up in early March, by my guesstimate (comparing last year's unofficial pokecrawl thread, which was closed in February, with the first post in the official thread in March). And March Madness kicked off the same day as the pokecrawl, so the pubs were HOPPING. Plus, and correct me if I'm wrong here, another pubcrawl was occurring the same evening as well (I THINK it was in the same area, but may not be correct)
That means, about 3-4 weeks prior to the event. This week marks 5 weeks prior to PAX. Don't start worrying until say, next week or the week after, is my feeling on the matter.
It was bought out and last time I walked by was still under renovations. New owners wanted to open it up as a 'classier' establishment. Who knows how long that will last, but I haven't spoken with anyone from there in a while.
Like Bell in Hand and Clark's can more then handle us, Kitty O'Shea's not so much
Kitty O'Shea's is gone so no worries there.
Personally, I felt Clarke's was overcrowded for us and Kitty O'Shea's felt like it still had a lot of space. Granted, the other team at Kitty O'Shea's seemed like less people to me.

There's a lot more to Clarke's than most people used last year, a whole second side bar that was practically empty. I kept trying to tell Red B that there was more bar, but nobody budged. Oh well.
I am literally only registered on this forum for the PAX East PokeCrawl; Red Gold four years running. Feel free to ask questions regarding Boston Area bars, restaurants, attractions, etc around PAX East.

The Thread bar crawl was the same night last year and the Bell in Hand overlapped with both. Thread crawl is moving to Seaport near convention center this year, so that shouldn't happen again unless people get REALLY lost.

She says, before the thread goes up. Crap. I hope I didn't jinx anything
I'm sure we'll see something soon. The timing is right, at least.
