Mismanagement Meeting

Chicago HHH Mismanagement, Drinking Practice, & Wingsday

Wednesday 8/8 – 7:00 PM

Venue: O’Malley’s West – 2249 N. Lincoln Ave

From da GM: As everybody knows, CH3 has the 12th Annual Power of the Pussy coming up very quickly (rego already). Since it is also CH3’s 1800th run (and since CH3 has no big expenses in the foreseeable future), I would like to propose that CH3 dips into the hash cash a bit so that we can make this year’s event bigger and better than ever. Normally all of CH3’s big events are self-sustaining, and the Ladies of PoP have budgeted this year’s event so that they in no way need this money in order to pull off the event, I am merely proposing using some of the hash cash that we’ve collected to boost the funding of the event so that we can do something special. I’ve spoken with Salty Gash and an investment of $250 would cover the cost of renting a pig roaster, but I propose going as high as $400 in order to allow for some additional libations at the on-after party at O’Donnel’s (since we will have to leave the park at sundown). This will be the only item on the agenda, and we will have time for what I’m sure will be a lively debate.

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit 🙂
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview: Hop on the 11 Lincoln Bus and take it to Belden. Walk another half block South – bar is on the East side of the street.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Take the 73 Armitage bus over to Halsted. Transfer to the 8 Halsted bus and ride it North to Belden. Walk a block East to Lincoln and head South a half a block – bar is on the East side of the street.

Driving 🙁
Hop in your hooptie and cruise to Lincoln and Belden. There’s no parking here, so have fun with that.

GM Erections 2012

A Very Special Message From da GM (Elections Info)

Greeting all you wankers and bimbos,
As you probably have noticed, 2011 is quickly coming to an end. Sad, I know, but all good things must come to an end. We laughed, we cried, we said our hellos, we said our goodbyes. All of that sentimental crap. With this in mind, we need to start talking about the 2012 Chicago Hash House Harriers elections.

As we discussed at the last mismanagement meeting (11/9), and which had no objections at the meeting, CH3 will be using the old “points system” that was previously used under the Chicken Stiffer regime (Boo! Hiss! Chicken Stiffer sucks!). The “point system” works as follows – you get one point for every CH3 hash that you ATTEND* and one additional point for every CH3 hash that you HARE**. That’s it.*** Very simple, actually. With that in mind, I’ve uploaded the attendance spreadsheet (as a Google Doc – if Google Docs scares you, email me and I can send you the Excel file) that I’ve been keeping since February (when our records started) and I’d like to ask that everybody take a quick look at it. I’ve tried to make it as accurate as possible, but some time people do slip through the cracks. If you feel like I’ve shortchanged you in any way, please EMAIL ME (DO NOT POST IT TO THE GROUP) and we’ll discuss it like adults – there are a number of hashes that I had to miss this year, so I know for a fact that my records aren’t 100% accurate. If I missed you at one or more hash, please know that this was in no way intentional (unless, of course, you’re continually showing up and not paying your hash cash).

Seriously, please do not come to me and debate the merits of the attendance records of other hashers, I don’t have time for that with both Anthrax and the holidays coming up. This concludes our very special message from the GM – we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming, already in progress.
On-On,
Snatchsquatch

* – ATTEND is defined as showing up to the hash and paying hash cash – you don’t have to run trail, you just have to pay your $8 (or $3 if you can’t drink beer).
** – HARE is defined as help out with the organization and/or execution of the hash in some way – for example, everyone involved with planning PoP, Anthrax, Memorial Day, etc are defined as a hare, even if they didn’t set the trail.
*** – These are not up for debate, if you don’t like the system, please come to mismanagement in the upcoming year and make a case for whichever system you would prefer, but understand that this issue will not be discussed at mismanagement again until after the conclusion of the upcoming election.

Mismanagement Meeting

Chicago Hash Mismanagement – 6/8

Holy cow, has it really been three whole months since the last mismanagement meeting? Yes, yes it has. Luckily for me the hash pretty much runs itself (with me only having to yell at everyone else to get stuff done every now and again). With that in mind, I’d like to gather up the usual suspects for another mismanagement meeting at O’Malley’s West on Wednesday, June 8th, at 7pm. We’ve been going there pretty regularly for Wingsday, so you already know that they’ve got cheap food and beers on Wednesday nights (just in case you needed more motivation to come out)

Here are some of the items that we’ll be discussing:
Day-to-Day Mismanagement: Weekly Attendance, Hash Cash Situation, etc.
Advertising: New Business Cards
Haberdashery: T-Shirts Remaining, Haberdashery Committee, etc.
Big Events: Memorial Day Recap, PoP Update, Anthrax pre-planning, etc.
New Business: Any new business anyone has (please email me by Monday if you want to include any new business)

Hope to see everybody there! On-On, Snatchsquatch

Mismanagement Meeting

Wed, Mar 9, 7PM
Venue: Cinner’s

Message from Your Friendly Neighborhood GM

Greeting everybody!
As you’ve all heard by now the Chicago Hash House Harriers have made one giant mistake and elected me to be the role of your new GM. You fools, do you not realize what you have done!? Of course not.

The good news is that the Chicago Hash House Harriers aren’t going anywhere (especially not Waukesha) – the bad news is that we need to have a mismanagement meeting and go over a few things. So, we’re going to be having a mismanagement meeting next Wednesday (3/9) at Cinner’s (4757 N. Talman – Rockwell Brown Line) – they have cheap beers and excellent Cincinnati-style chili to eat. Here are some of the things that we need to talk about:
State of the Hash (finances, attendance, etc)
Mismanagement Positions (hare razors, RA, etc)
Haberdashery (inventory and new ideas)
Public Affairs (business cards, twitter, website, etc)
Upcoming Events (Polish Constitution Day, Memorial Day, PoP)

If you anything SPECIFIC that you want to see added to this list, please email me ([email protected]) at least 24 hours in advance so that I can let everyone know that we’ll be talking about it.

Mismanagement Meeting

Hey ya wanks,
It’s been a while since we’ve had a MisManagement meeting, so I figure next week is as good a time as any to have one.

The meeting will be at Lion Head Pub (2251 N. Lincoln) at 7pm on July 21.

Here are a few things I have in mind for the agenda so far:

State of Hash Funds
Habadashery
I still have Anthrax shirts for some reason. If you or someone you know HAS NOT picked theirs up, I’ll be selling it.
We bought extra PoP mugs in honor of the 10th anniversary. The left over ones will be sold for $5 each.
CH3 and TH3 teamed up to create a new moisture wicking shirt. These are currently on sale for $18.
Open dates for upcoming hashes.
This is all I have so far as no one has brought any other issues to my attention. If you have anything you’d like me to consider discussing shoot me an email and we’ll figure something out.

Questions? Comments? Email me at [email protected]

On On,
Fisty
