September 31 Hash

First Annual Chicago End of Summer Celebration Hash on “September 31”

Chicago Run #1511

Chicago mismanagement, after discussing at length the dilemma caused by the fact there are two weeks between the last Monday of September and first Sunday of October (our traditional Fall cutover) and not wanting to skip an entire week, it was initially decided to pull Sundays forward to September 30th.

The it occurred to us that instead of gloomily declaring the start of Fall earlier, it would be more fun to extend Summer one week later and do a final Summer Monday night hash in the interim week. But how to play within the rules? The answer – let’s declare Monday, October 1 to be honorary “September 31” (no we were not drinking at the time we thought of this!).

Therefore it is with great pleasure that we announce Monday, September 31 to be our final Monday night hash of Summer 2007 and First Annual End of Summer Hash. As this is a new date it is currently open for hares so anyone interested in haring please contact the hare raisers – Batteries Not Included & Mouthful of Meat

Chicago HHH #1507 3rd Annual Labor Day Hash @ Party Central
Hare(s): It’s Too Soft
Venue: Party Central Skydeck – 933 W Wolfram, Chicago
Hash Cash: $10 (includes Labor Day BBQ at on-in)

The Sunday afternoon classic (Monday, Labor Day is once again reserved for the usual recovery time) is back for 2007! Chicago HHH returns to our regular Monday night schedule for the rest of September after this.

This year’s theme is “Grand Outdoor Spaces”. Since the Skydeck @ Party Central first opened in the Summer of 2006 a few friends have been inspired to also have an “outdoor space” in their next homes. The beer checks on this trail will include two of the newest additions to the Party Central franchise.

A-B-C-A trail. IMPORTANT – Bring your CTA card as trail will end near an L stop which is how you get back to Party Central unless you want to run a ten mile trail!

As always, BBQ cookout at the on-in, ergo the $10 hash cash, so come hungry. We’ll have food.

Please note also that the venue is a private residence, not a bar so the hare would really appreciate his place not get trashed by the hash!

Public Transit –
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview: Red Line to Fullerton, walk five blocks North to Diversey or transfer to Brown Line Wellington, walk three blocks South to Wolfram

From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Logan Square, walk three blocks North to Diversey, take Diversey 76 Bus East to Sheffield, hoof it 1 blk North to Wolfram.

Post-1500 Hangover Hash – “Kegs & Eggs on the Skydeck”
Hosted by the Kenosha Hash House Harriers

For those whose whose travel plans make it difficult or impossible
to trek out into the woods, Kenosha is offering an officially-
sanctioned City hangover hash very close to the hash hotels.

Sunday, July 22 – Meet @ 10:30am, Out at 11:00am
Hare(s): TBA (whoever the Chicago local who is least hungover)
Venue: Casa de It’s Too Soft – The Skydeck @ Party Central – 933 W
Wolfram St, Rooftop
Weather: 80 and Sunny (again!!!)
Hash Cash: $9 includes beer and brunch

As many visitors are coming in on the Megabus and thus won’t have
cars so getting way out to woods in the burbs is difficult or
impossible (or locals who are just too damn hungover to schlep all
the way out to Morton Grove), there will be a “city hangover hash
option” offered Sunday morning for those still with game. People who
prefer to run in the shiggy and woods are encourged to go to Morton
Grove if they want to, as this trail will be a short romp through
upscale and urban “Beverly Hills 60614”.

Join the Kenosha HHH for a mercifully short trail through the Far
Southern Suburbs of Kenosha (Lincoln Park in Chicago) with one beer
stop and brunch at the on-in. For those who have some time to kill
before their bus or just want to enjoy a nice sunny Sunday afternoon
we will probably setup the HDTV on the rooftop and put on the White
Sox/Red Sox game. Feel free to stay and hangout and of course drink
a few beers.

Those just simply too hungover from two consecutive days of full-
throttle partying to actually run trail can just join us on the
Skydeck for the on-in beers & brunch. Pack should be back in by noon
or 12:15 – A-A trail. We will try and arrange shuttles to Union
Station if anyone can still drive.

Directions from downtown Kenosha – Sheridan Rd. South to Hwy 50
(75th St.). East on Hwy 50 to I-94. East (South) on I-94 to downtown
Chicago. Exit 45A California and turn right (South) onto California.
Next stop & go light will be Diversey. Turn left East on Diversey
and go 2-1/2 miles East to Sheffield. Turn left (North) on Sheffield
to Wolfram, turn right (East on Wolfram). 933 is first building East
of the L tracks, South side of the street. Pray you find parking
somewhere.

Public Transportation – Metra Union Pacific North 8:49 Kenosha train
arrives Union Station 10:30. RUN East to LaSalle and North to Lake
(you don’t have time to ride the Brown Line all the way around the
loop so don’t board at Wells!). Take Brown Line at Lake to Fullerton
and RUN North to Wolfram. You have 1/2 hour to do all of this before
the hash leaves at 11am or take the ungodly early 6:57 am Metra
which gets in 8:25 and take a nap on the train.
