Chicago #1440 Memorial Day @ Lincoln Square
5/29/2006

Entire weekend of festivities:

Saturday 5/26/2007 Meet @3pm, Out @3:30pm
Second City HHH Special Specky Memorial Day Hash
Hare(s): Speckle Bird
Venue: Janina’s Gin Mill & Saloon – 3459 N Milwaukee Ave

Specklebird is haring his occasionally annual birthday/Memorial Day hash this SATURDAY (not the usual Sunday) at 3:00 (not the usual 2:00) at Janina’s, at 3457 N. Milwaukee (not the usual suburban woodsy type location). The hash will be A-B, and we are promised a feast of sandwich fixins and plenty of chips and beer. If you’d like to bring a side dish or dessert that is not composed of chips (well, chocolate chips would be OK), or if you have a special beer that you’d like to have available, feel free to bring something, though it’s not required. Expect croquet and/or bocce after the r*n.

To get there, look at map, find Milwaukee Avenue and trace it until you are looking at the section between Belmont and Addison (should be just a little west of Pulaski). Figure out your preferred route and take it.

CH3 #1489

Chicago Hash #1489

WHEN: 7:00 p. m. (CDT), Monday, May 7, 2007.

WHERE: Czerwone Jabluszko (AKA Red Apple), 3121 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, 60618,http://redapplebuffet.com/. The parking lot in the back is very small, so plan on street parking.

HARES: $.69 Man and Virgin Banger.

BEER: Keg of Okocim beer, as usual, will be provided by the Stanley Stawski Distributing Co.,www.stawskidistributing.com . Just remember that Okocim has a high alcohol content, so if you guzzle this like Miller Lite or water, you will get drunk.

PRICE: If you eat the buffet: $1.00 (hash tax) + $8.49 (+ tax).
If you do not wish to eat: $6.00.

DRESS: Wear an Okocim, or other Polish shirt (provided that it is not from a non-Stawski Polish beer). Perhaps we will get more shirts this year.

PARTICULARS: We will have the chalk talk at 7:00, because they advertise a closing time of 9:00 p. m., and their kitchen staff doesn’t like to stay open any longer than is necessary. As long as we pay for the food and go through the self-serve cafeteria line prior to 9:00 p. m., they will let us eat it. Let’s work with them.

We should plan on leaving there around 9:45, and definitely be out of there by 10:00, so they can set their alarm. Those who want to stay out longer can go to Bialystok, 3653 W. Diversey Ave., where they have large $5 pitchers. The side streets out of Milwaukee Ave. are very complicated, so the easiest way is to proceed southeast on Milwaukee Ave. to the stoplight (Central Park), where you will make a right turn (southbound) to the next stoplight (Diversey), where you will make another right turn (westbound). The bar is on the south side of Diversey, east of Lawndale. The door is locked, so you must press the doorbell.

The buffet is excellent, ane at that price, it’s a bargain. They made the food that we bought when the venue was the St. Hyacinth School cafeteria, and everyone loved it. The only problem is that there wasn’t enough of it.

This is the ideal venue, due to the food, Polish atmosphere, and location. We tried to use it in previous years, but they wouldn’t let us bring in the keg, and they were too hard headed to realize that they would make $ on the food if they allowed us in.

When I learned that the Wrightwood Skewers and Cafe (last year’s venue) was out of business, I had to find another venue. Due to my previous rejections there (Red Apple), I would not have gone back, but a friend, who somewhat knew the owner, talked to a manager to get us in their reservations book. He explained that we would have the keg, but that they would make money on the food, as well as beer that we would buy once our keg was empty. Just to be sure that there was no doubt about the keg, I went there myself and said the same thing. I then had the manager write her name on the back of the business card so that I can tell people who I talked to in case there is any problem.

As for the circle, we may want to do it in their small parking lot, but we can cross that bridge when we get to it.

On-On!

Chicago HHH #1476 Super Bowl Sunday Hash

Hare(s): Chicken Stiffer
Venue: Hidden Shamrock – 2723 N Halsted

$6 pitchers from 12-4
Afterwards we can watch the Bears beat the Colts.

As you can imaging trying to find a venue willing to give us a pitcher special the day of the Bears Super Bowl has been tough. Kathy at the Hidden Shamrock has given us $6 pitchers from 12- 4 pm. NO specials after this time. They have food and many TV’s to watch the game. We should be back to the venue around 2 pm and can have a quick circle. This will allow people time to find a prime viewing spot or take off to their Super Bowl parties.

Chicago Hash #1473
Saturday 1/13/2007 @ 2pm
Chicago HHH #1473 3rd Annual Eight Beer Stop Hash

Hare(s): Rear Loader
Venue: Holiday Club – 4000 N. Sheridan Chicago, IL 60613
phone: (773) 348-9600

$5 Pitchers

Easy to get to from the Sheridan Red Line stop. or using the Irving Park Bus.

Dear Hashers,

The Hash scheduled for Sunday this week will be run on Saturday Jan. 13, 2007 at 2 pm. I believe you deserve an explanation for this change. The Bears playoff game will start at Noon on Sunday and undoubtedly will kill attendance at the 8-beer stop hash. The location of the hash and weather outlook for Sunday also will put a damper on hasher turn out because Sundays forecast is calling for a wintry mix of rain and sleet. The small amount of hashers that do show will be expected to drink 36 beers between them and then drive to the ON-IN, not a great situation in my mind. Ironically Saturdays forecast looks better for hashing and the hares (Horn-E and Rearloader) and the Big Dogs hash have already given me the go ahead to make this change, so let it be written, and so let it be done. Look for the venue to be posted on the website and hope to see you on Saturday.
