Anthrax 2004

Hey hashers,

Great news to report! Details have been finalized for the long-
awaited 3rd Annual Great Chicago Anthrax Hash / Santa Hat Run.

When: Sunday, December 19th, 2:00pm

Where: The Hidden Shamrock – 2723 N Halsted St (Halsted just South
of Diversey). This year we’re returning to where it all
began… “The Rock” was the bar we ran for the original Great
Anthrax Hash in 2002!

Directions: Brown Line to Diversey, East to Halsted or CTA Halsted
8 Bus to Diversey. Driving, take the Kennedy to California exit,
turn East on Diversey, head East to Halsted. Parking is really
crappy in this ‘hood but best on Sundays. Try and find a meter spot
on Halsted or Diversey as meters are free on Sundays there and most
of the side streets require Zone permits.

Other Info: Following the Great Chicago Anthrax Scare in 2002, once
again It’s Too Soft will hare from the Hidden Shamrock on Diversey,
site of the original Anthrax Hash in 2002 and will set trail through
scenic Lincoln Park venue which promises classic urban trail through
one of the Ritz-iest neighborhoods in the City. Free Santa hats for
the first couple dozen hashers.

Cathy, the manager has hooked us up with $6 pitchers of Lite which
is awesome given this is a classy bar in a classy ‘hood. Additional
specials just for the hash, we also get $3.50 pints of Killian’s
Irish Red, $3.50 pints of Canadian Labatt’s Blue and vodka drinks
for $4 for those who want to party like a rock star on a school
night!!! Note they also have Guinness on tap!

Chicago H3Run # 1351

Hare: Meister & Virgin Banger
Venue: Lakeshore Grill 221 N. Columbus drive
312-616-1234

Annual End of Summer Ravage the New Millenium Park Beach Party Hash.

Lower Wackoff and Meister will attempt to not get arrested for anthrax as they lay trail in and around the spankin’ new virgin Millenium Park. If you’re good you will get to see the Mega-Bean. In addition to spectacular trail, the bar features cheap beer, beer garden, good eats, and FREE PARKING. In the spirit of the annual Beach Party theme, wear a Hawaiian style shirt or something beachy-touristy. Those who don’t will get a lame, stupid-looking straw beach hat for the trail.
Getting there: Located at the old golf course off the northeast corner of Randolph and Columbus. The Lake Street L stop of the Green/Brown/Orange/Purple lines is closest. Walk east 3-4 blocks on Randolph and follow the following:

Stairs: Take stairs two flights to Lowest Wacker from Randolph/Columbus and go one block north to the old golf course. It’s inside the one story structure. For the lazy, there is an elevator on Upper Columbus next to the fire house, off of Water.

Drive from Michigan Ave: Randolph East to Columbus, then Left (North). Turn left on the ramp going down (Water St). At the end of the ramp, make a U turn left. Turn right at the stop sign and the parking lot is on the right.

Drive from North LSD: LSD to Grand/Illinois/Wacker. Wacker veers right, then move to left lane. Turn left on Columbus Drive. At the next stop light , turn right down the middle ramp, E South Water St. At the end of the ramp, make a U turn left. If you’ve been paying attention, you know the rest.

Drive from South LSD: Similar to above, without the veering, I think.

If you are coming from the Kennedy, there is another set of instructions. E-mail Meister at [email protected]. My fingers are getting tired.
