Who's idea was this pub crawl!?

The pub crawl went well! Despite breaking the cardinal rule of never having more than one drink per pub (which me and Dan succeeded in doing in the um, first pub) we managed to visit eight or nine places before finishing off in Guildfords finest homosexual establishment that used to be called Platform 9 and who’s new name I was too drunk to remember.

The more internet based side of it wasn’t quite as successful. Although the individual pub updates did yield a few comedy gems such as:

“The Star - Most banterous barmaid of the night. Also Tony: “I’d like a dick in my beer please””

The actual GPS feed provided by Brightkite didn’t work as well as I’d hoped. Almost all of the links provided to my Twitter feed put us in a town just outside of Guildford called Shalford. Although in their defence this location was based on cell tower triangulation as all of the updates were done inside the pubs themselves, not outside where I could get a proper GPS signal.

In retrospect it was a great night and the only failures with regard to the technology side were, as I’ve alluded to before on this blog, down to the drunken humans using it.
