This weekend was the 2nd Annual Edible Crawl-for-the-Cure for Cystic Fibrosis. For those like me, who has never done any type of crawl (i.e. Pub Crawl) registration was $35, $70 for couples and $25 for DDs. You get your participant badge and you make your way around the Midtwon Grid of restaurants, bars, cafes and ice cream parlors sampling the food and drinks. Every stop you make, they punch your badge so you can't take advantage and stay at one place eating and drinking. The event was from 12-5PM Saturday and all proceeds from your registration fee goes to Cystic Fibrosis research. All restaurants donated all the food and drink for the event.

If you think about it, it's a really novel idea. A few weeks ago, I dragged (almost literally) my friend Vi, her boyfriend Dan, and Vi's cousin Phuong out to the 5k run/walk for AIDS. Vi = not so athletic and definitely not a morning person. She joked, "Okay we did it your way (raising money for causes), now we're going to do it my way!" You know, I had a lot of fun!! I'm probably not going to stop running for my causes but I also won't shoot down the next opportunity to Crawl-for-the-Cure.

Next year, I'm definitely going to want to have Vio out here and she has a lot of foodie friends, whom I'm sure would absolutely enjoy the event. We're going to have a huge team next year!! I think geminivt might like it, too. Maybe she can make a trip out as well.
