CH3 #1526

Chicago Hash #1526 @ Glascott’s/Kelly’s Pub – Kickoff 2008 Hash

Hare(s): Mouthful of Meat & Super Stuff’her
Venue: Glascott’s @ Webster & Halsted – 2158 N. Halsted
Hash Cash: $6 – still as of now unaffected by either $100/barrel crude oil or Barack Obama’s win in Iowa

View Larger Map
Get your hashing year started off right with our first official Chicago Hash of 2008! There are two very unremarkable NFL wild card playoff games which will also be on TV for your additional enjoyment. Note: despite the bar location, the beer stop will NOT BE AT PARTY CENTRAL.

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit ?
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview: Red Line to Fullerton, hoof it two blocks East and two blocks South to Halsted & Webster or hop the Brown Line to Armitage and hoof it two blocks North and two blocks East to H&W. Or take the Halsted #8 bus from anywhere near Halsted to Webster.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to California and take the Fullerton #74 bus East to Halsted, hoof it two blocks South to Webster.

Driving ?
Hop into your hooptie and cruise to Halsted & Webster. Park on a side street, Zone 143 permit doesn’t kick in until 6pm or if you’re lucky grab a meter spot on Halsted. Note there’s a lot of non-zone parking just East of Halsted next to Oz Park.

CH3 #1525

Chicago Hash #1525 @ The Atlantic: Eve of the Eve Hash

December 30, 2007 8:23 pm / itstoosoft
Hare(s): Just I-Lean & Just Jonathan

Venue: The Atlantic – 5062 N. Lincoln (2-1/2 blocks straight up Lincoln from the Western Brown Line stop)

Hash Cash: $6 – Outsourcing to India and China of noncritical CH3 backoffice operations such as the employee cafeteria, Accounts Payable, IT, Global Supply Chain & Logistics, Customer Service, Audit, Aircraft Fleet Maintenance, and the Help Desk as well as tactically-opportune purchases of subprime mortgage-based SIV’s and the sale of and subsequent lease back of the CH3 Tower in the Loop allow the CH3 to streamline operations and offer hashes at up to 20% less than other area shops. Harlots will continue to be sourced domestically pending the outcome of union negotiations with the UAW as well as fluctuations in the price of Ytterbium.

Somebody please take some pix of this event as the Fujirazzi will be at Lambeau Field watching the Packers whoop all over the Lions and drinking tons of Wisconsin’s finest BEER! Given the way they did against the Bears last week thus losing home field advantage in the playoffs there will probably be fewer starters on the field than an August preseason game against the Dolphins – D’OH!!

These cats say we get $6 pitchers!!!

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit ?
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview: Red Line to Belmont, Brown Line to Western, hoof it about t 2-1/2 blocks Northwest up Lincoln to the bar.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Jefferson Park, #81 Lawrence bus (runs every 8-11 mins) East to Lincoln/Western, schlep 2-1/2 blocks Northwest on Lincoln to bar.

Driving ?
Hop into your hooptie and cruise to Lawrence and Winnemac (about 2 blks West of Western). Parking is generally okay in this area on Sundays on the side streets, better to west of Lincoln.

CH3 #1524

Chicago Hash #1524 @ Morgan’s: Pre-Christmas / Chicken Stiffer Birthday Hash

Chicken Stiffer
Venue: Morgan’s Bar & Grille – 1325 S. Halsted St.
Chicago, IL 60607, 312-243-4800
Hash Cash: $6

Somebody please take some pix of this event as the Fujirazzi will be running with the Philly Hash over Christmas weekend.

View Larger Map

The Chicago Hash will leave the greatly overhashed Lincoln Park area on Sunday and head (who said head?) South to the UIC are Morgan’s Bar and Grill on Maxwell Street.

Come out and celebrate our GM Chicken Stiffer’s Golden Anniversary of his 21st Birthday and the fact there are now coal seams in Western China younger than he is. Actual birthday is earlier in the weekend so there may be Friday night pre-lube festivities also. Since his birthday is right next to Christmas, he’s been getting “combined” birthday & Christmas presents for years and is very bitter about it. Come out and see a long, bitter trail set by a very bitter hare!

Neighborhood: Little Italy/University Village

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit ?
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview: Red Line to North/Clyborn, Halsted 8 bus South to Maxwell St.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Grand/Halsted Milwaukee, Halsted 8 Bus South to Maxwell St.

Driving ?
Hop into your hooptie and cruise to Halsted & Maxwell. Parking is not bad a block or so off of Halsted either direction. Obviously away from UIC (South, East) is better.

CH3 #1523

Chicago Hash #1523 – Post Anthrax Hannukah Hangover Hash @ Hidden Shamrock

Hare(s): Fluffer from Sin City
Venue: Paddy Long’s – 1028 W. Diversey (just West of Diversey & Sheffield and the now-closed Diversey Brown Line Stop)
Hash Cash: $6

Includes short trail, beers, and NFL Football!!! Bears get their butts kicked Monday night so lots of other games to watch on the Telly.

A-B-C Trail. Fluffer from Sin City has graciously volunteered to lay trail for us so we’re continuing the CH3 tradition of bringing hashing to trendy/upscale Lincoln Park/Lakeview bars and this week we check out Paddy Long’s (the old Lawry’s Tavern).

NOTE 11am START time so visitors can catch their trains, Megabuses, etc or get a jump on weekend traffic.

Okay so actual Hannukah ended on 12/12 but the theme gives us such great alliteration!

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit ?
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview: Red Line to Fullerton, hoof it four blocks North to Diversey and head West on Diversey 1/2 block. Or just walk a few blocks from home.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Belmont, Belmont #77 bus East to Sheffield, schlep four blocks South to Diversey, 1/2 block West to bar.

Driving ?
Hop into your hooptie and cruise to Diversey & Sheffield. Find parking by meters or side streets. It’s Sunday so you don’t have to feed most of the meters around there but check to be sure.

(*) refers to most consecutive years, not length of trails
(**) longest-running and also the only one that we are aware of

Never before seen bonus vintage Anthrax Pic! Here is a shot of the Hazmat Hare at Chicago O’Hare Fire Station #3 where he was escorted by the Chicago Police on Christmas Eve 2002 after explaining over the Fire Department’s radio to on-site first responders that our trial marks in Lincoln Park were only harmless flour. The cops and firefighters there were really cool about it and even let me get a picture next to one of their fire engines.

It is interesting that the Chicago Fire Department at O’Hare has yellow rather than red trucks and a flying eagle logo (you can see part of it to the far right of the cab) instead of the regular nested-lettter CFD logo. The only other civilians who have ever been this close to this equipment have been involved in aircraft mishaps! I suppose this was better…

The World’s Longest-Running* Hash Anthrax Scare Celebration**

CH3 #1521

Chicago #1521 Sunday 12/9, 2pm @ TBA: Pre-Anthrax Hash
Hare(s): Batteries Not Included & Calvin Klein
Venue: Burton Place – 1447 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60610
(312) 664-4699
Hash cash: Take-out-a-second-mortgage-on-the-cat price of $6.

Last Chicago Hash B4 6th Anthrax with veteran hares. This should be interesting & fun as I can’t recall the last time we hashed in the heart of Old Town!

We will have a private room upstairs $7 pitchers of lite and 35 cent wings and other food specials.

Environmentally-friendly public transportation:
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview – Red Line to Division, hoof it a couple blocks West on Division to Wells and then North on Wells or the Brown Line to Sedgwick and hoof it East on North Ave from Sedgwick to Wells and then South on Wells.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown – Blue Line to Division, take the Division 70 Bus East to Wells, hoof it a couplea blocks North to the bar.

Driving:
Hop into your hooptie and cruise to basically North Ave and Wells. Parking in Old Town sucks worse than warm Icehouse. Best bet is to look South of North Ave and West of Wells as Lincoln Park and the Gold Coast are NOT the places to look for parking on the Near North Side.

It gets alot better the farther West you go (parking-wise, not socioeconomically speaking), especially as you get closer to what remains of the Cabrini Green Public Housing Projects (which I’m sure will be the ‘urban shiggy’ part of the trail), for obvious reasons.

CH3 #1520

Chicago #1520 @ Janina’s : 6th Annual Idiot’s Day Joint Hash w/Second City
Submit Hare(s): Specklebird (Idiot’s Day Hare for Life)
Venue: Janina’s Gin Mill & Saloon – 3459 N Milwaukee Ave (Milwaukee & Keeler)
Hash Cash: $5 (One-day holiday doorbuster special – same price as Second City!!)

This very aptly-named hash lived up to its billing on so many levels. One example was our GM Chicken Stiffer wheeling Just Molly down the street in an abandoned shopping cart at a very high rate of speed. What part of this does not just simply scream out BAD IDEA. Fortunately for the hash (for liablility reasons) these two Idiot’s Day celebrants lived to see another day (perhaps less fortunate for the gene pool tho as natural selection may have been temporarily thwarted). More pix from this hash on the nav bar or pictures section or on Koday EasyShare Gallery.

Hash trash to be posted soon.

______

For those of us who can still move after the Pre-Pre Anthr@x 12 Bars of Christmas the previous night, please join us for a special joint celebration of this Second City Classic – “Idiot’s Day” as Second City deigns to appear within Chicago City Limits! Rumours abound that we may also see the first new Idiots’ Day t-shirts in years available for purchase at additional cost. Janina’s is one of our favorite hash bars in scenic Avondale.

We did a joint hash w/Second City last year @ Windsor Tavern on 12/3/06 and had such a blast we’re doing it again. Second City’s schedule conflicts with Chicago seven months out of the year and we still all get along and even have joint hashes with them like this. That’s cooperation. Other area hashes who we won’t name, you conflict with just one of their “dates” and they will post enough flames on their message boards to heat half of Stalingrad in January.

From Soar Balls of Second City:

“This Sunday, come out to Janina’s on Milwaukee and get your hangover hash for Pearl Harbor out of the way before you go to Milwaukee.

Yes, it’s time once again (by my calculations, the Xth time) for Idiot’s Day. To ensure a true Idiot’s Day, we thought we should have the traditional post-Pearl Harbor Hash a week before Pearl Harbor. What do you think we are, a bunch of Einsteins who know the difference between pre- and post-? NO! We’re Zwei-, Drei-, Funf-, und Zwolf-steins who don’t plan to stop at one German bier.

Once you’ve got your brain suitably set to Idiot (just keep chanting “Brain, brain, go away, come again some other day&quot, come out to Janina’s (3457 N Milwaukee) at 2:00 PM this Sunday (Dec. 2), and Specklebird will take you on the stupidest tour of the northwest side you ever did see. Special bonus points if you can’t figure out where the beer stop is going to be.

To get to Janina’s, blindly grope your way to Belmont (3200 N) and Milwaukee (~3900 W), go about 3 blocks northwest on Milwaukee until you get to Keeler. Then you’ve gone too far, so look behind you a couple doors on the southwest side of the street, and you’ve found Janina’s. You’ll know it’s Janina’s by the sign out front that says “Janina’s”.

Alternatively, take ye olde Blue Line to Addison and go west on Addison to Keeler. Go south on Keeler to Milwaukee and wander about aimlessly asking strangers where you might find Janina’s.”

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview: Red Line 2 Addison, Addison #152 bus West to Keeler, hoof it three blocks South to the bar on Milwaukee.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line 2 Addison, schlep four blocks West to Keeler and three blocks South to the bar on Milwaukee or take the Milwaukee #56 bus Northwest to Keeler.

Driving
Hop into your hooptie and cruise 2 the corner of Addison & Keeler, Addison freeway exit from the Kennedy and west to Keeler, South to Milwaukee. Helen Keller could find a parking space in this neighborhood.

CH3 #1519

Chicago #1519 Post Thanksgiving ADD Hash @ O’Lanagan’s
Published by itstoosoft on November 17, 2007 in all events & runs and chicago hash runs.

Submit Hare(s): Super Stuffer & Just Steve
Venue: O’Lanagan’s – 2335 W. Montrose Ave. Chicago (Lincoln Square)
Hash Cash: $6

The ADD hares promise a trail with lots of distractions for marks including shiny things like tin foil, balloons and bits of paper. Hopefully the hares themselves don’t get distracted by something (like a hangover) and forget to lay trail! Ritalin NOT included in hash cash.

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview: Red Line to Belmont, Brown Line to Western, hoof it four blocks South on Western Montrose and cut East (left) or shortcut thru Welles Park, or take the Red Line to Wilson and catch the Montrose #78 bus West to Western.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Irving Park, Irving Park #80 bus East to Western, hoof it three blocks North to Monrose.

Driving
Hop into your hooptie and cruise to the corner of Western & Montrose and cut East 1/2 block to the bar. Plenty of street parking in the local ‘hood.
