Chicago Hash #1562 8.31.08 @ Party Central SkyDeck – 4th Annual Labor Day Hash

Hare(s): The CH3 Hare Triumvirate – It’s Too Soft (Lincoln Park Party Dude Extraordinaire), Lifa (CH3 Master Hare Level VII) and Just I Lean (CH3 Hare Rookie of the Year)

Venue: Party Central SkyDeck – 933 W Wolfram St, rooftop (go up the back stairs) just Northeast of the brand spankin’ new Diversey Brown Line station.

Hash Cash: Still only $8 gets you more beer than you can shake a stick at, Labor Day BBQ cookout at the on in, some of the best urban shiggy trail to be found in the Green Zone aka Beverly Hills 60614, and lotsa Trixie/Chad sightings as you can never get enough “eye candy” on trail!
The Weather Gods are fixin’ to smile upon us again as the forecast for Sunday is 81 DEGREES AND SUNNY!!!

OMG where did Summer 2008 go? It’s been one massive blur of sun & fun, running, and more importantly, BEER but a great one!

To mark the last days of Summer 2008 we are holding our own version of “Closing Ceremonies” not in Beijing but right here in THE Chicago Hash House Harrier’s very own “Bird’s Nest Stadium”, the SkyDeck at Party Central!

Just like we do every year for Memorial Day and Labor Day, we move the regular hash to Sunday to allow the holiday Monday for recovery time!!!

Your hares promise spectacular trail and beautiful weather here in the heart of the Lincoln Park “Green Zone” and a blowout postparty that will involve serious grilled foodstuffs and keg(s) on the SkyDeck! While not historically as much of a “foody affair” as Memorial Day, Labor Day Hash has devolved over the years into more of a totally off-the-hinges Category Five Drinkstravaganza! However the food will still be good as always and we might even toss a few shrimp on the barbie.

Given that only 17 people blew out my keg at JV Hash #2 on the Skydeck this one could set more drinking World Records than Michael Phelps!

And who knows, we might even do an impromptu Summer Outdoor Movie night on the SkyDeck after the hash as the HD projector and 110″ diagonal screen just might be “available” and as always, out-of-towners (as well as hot local chicks) are always welcome to crash at Party Central as hotels in Chicago ain’t cheep. And now thanks to the Sony Outlet in Kenosha, Party Central is now equipped with Blu-Ray HD technology too!!!

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit ?
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview: Red Line to Fullerton, Brown Line to the recently re-opened Diversey stop (woo-hoo!!!), hoof it 1/2 block North up Sheffield and right (East) into the alley before Wolfram. Cross under the L tracks and into the first driveway to your left after the big fenced parking lot next to the tracks. Go up the back porch stairs to the Skydeck.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Logan Square. Hoof it a couplea blocks North to Diversey and take the Diversey #76 bus East to Sheffield.

Driving ?
Hop into your hooptie and cruise to Diversey & Sheffield. Side streets are resident zone permit after 6pm so best bet is Sheffield South of Diversey or Diversey West of Sheffield. Many meters in this ’hood are 9pm or Sunday check your meter before parking your precious sled.

Last time I was at this bar was for a beer stop and we took over the bar for the 20 minutes we were there. Today was no different!!! The hares CROP DUSTER and JUST JULIA cleared the hash with the owner and we had $6 pitchers and they even reserved an area of the bar for us to use, Nice Job!!! WRAPPER SNATCHER and PORECELAIN GOD played the part of bag watchers in the bar because PORCELAIN currently has a lame foot and WRAPPER needed to play nurse to him. Tonight the hash saw another 30+ hashers show up and even a few from the bungle in the jungle weekend showed. JUST JULIA and CROP gave us a chalk talk and we were off!! The trail was awesome tonight a quote from JUST AMANDA. The hares lead us thru the scenic areas of downtown and then had a beer stop on the Chicago River. The first part of the trail ran north and UPLOADER, CHIP-N-DALE, and HORN-E seemed to be the leaders that I followed. The trail crossed the Chicago River and ran under Lower Whacker. Most of the pack seemed to be a little confused here because most did not cross the river but ran east along the river with HORN-E. JUST JOHN and I came up from lower Whacker and were on Michigan Avenue. The trail here ran behind a building and then back west. The hares set a check just east of Michigan and Randolph that most of the pack missed, truthfully the pack followed JUST JOHN and I thinking we were on and JUST NICK even called on when he saw a mark but he wasn’t because it was after a check. The pack really got messed up and people like BONER MALFUNCTION, JUST KATIE and others gave up because of the confusion and went back to the bar. It is unfortunate because the rest of the trail ran thru Millennium Park and over the winding bridge. JUST JOHN and I went back to the check and found true trail going SW and found the arrows pointing into the park. The hares did a great job sweeping, I know because on Tuesday before movie night in Grant Park I checked the trail and it was marked well. Just John and I soon heard HORN-E blowing in the park and he and I found trail going west on Adams and then thru the Finical district. Here it crossed the river again by Union Station and even ran thru the train station. JUST JOHN almost caught an AMTRAK to St. Louis this night or so he claims. The trail ran back over the river and the beer stop was in a park next to the river. It was fun seeing the back half of the pack cross the river twice before the made it to the beer stop. JUST SHAINA, JUST AMANDA, ITS TOO SOFT, MAGNETIC MUFF, MUDSUCKER, HORN-E, UPLOADER, 69-cent MAN should be commended for locating true trail tonight. We had BUD and BUD light at the stop and waited for the other half of the pack that never showed.
Back at the BAR JUST NICK, JUST ASHLEY, JUST CARLY and others were drinking and watching Mike Phelps win his gold medals. We got back and started the circle. Our FRB’s were HORN-E and I. Our DFL’s were those that never made it to the beer stop. JUST SHAINA and Beer mistress JUST AMANDA had a down down for talking about Mr. Phelps body in the circle. BONER and CHIP were our visitors for the day. JUST ASHLEY drank for finally drinking legally in our circle because last time she came and drank she was only 20 and with her mom, JUST LORI. Our virgins JUST CARLY and JUST RANKIN had a great time and we now they shall return. Our NRB’s were SNATCHSQUATCH, HOOSIER DADDY, JUST I LEAN, CUMS ON I LEAN, WRAPPER SNATCHER, and PORCELAIN GOD. ITS TOO SOFT was our rep from the Bungle in the Jungle party along with BONER. The circle was soon closed but we did reopen it to name some people. JUST JOHN is now “FREE VD”�, JUST JULIA is now “GINGER SNATCH”, and JUST AMANDA is now “POULTRY FUCKER” go figure.
The next day 10 hashers POULTRY F******, JUST I LEAN, JUST BILL, CUMS on I LEAN, SUPER STUF’HER, MOUTHFUL, CHICKEN STIFFER, ANAL ASSAULT, and W’ALL BANGHER, and JUST BELLA watcher “A TOUCH OF EVIL”� at movies in the park!!!

SEE YOU NEXT MONDAY OR SATURDAY at ITS TOO SOFT roof deck party at 9 pm 933 W. WOLFRAM!!!

This is the second time the CHICAGO HASH has used this venue. The last time was POP in “2005”, and just like that day the skies opened up upon us and the wrath of MOTHER NATURE was taken out upon the trial and hashers. The last time at POP I can remember HAPPY ASS GRABBER as a neophyte hasher and SUGAR NIPPLES dancing in the lightening and rain on Marlins patio. If you do not believe me look at the pictures.

The Chicago hash had invaded SECOND CITY TERRITORY again and storm clouds were waiting for us!!! HUNKA and FUCKKO were blessed by CALVIN KLEIN our RA and they were off setting trail. GOLDEN EAGLE gave the chalk talk and explained to our virgins and regular Chicago hashers what the marks meant and we did a quick Father Abraham and were off. Well Some of us were off. THE PORCELAIN GOD, DICKIN CIDER, and I stayed behind the first two because of injuries the last because I was the smart one. MILK MY YAK and BARKS ON ALL FOURS went out and soon fifteen minutes later they were back. The Skies out west were black and rain was immient. We enjoyed steaks and burgers at the bar while those hashers tried to navigate the trail. The rains soon hit and it was “BIG FAT RAIN” as Forest Gump might say and still the hashers stayed out there. WE came to find out later that The two GM’s HORN-E and HAPPY were curled up together in a fetal position on someones porch trying to protect themselves from Mother Natures fury. CALVIN’s quote of the night was that the Sky was GREEN??? HAPPY said, “ You could actually feel the air pressure change rapidly and his ears even popped!!” The five of us back in the bar talked about sending out a search party but decided to keep eating our food. The First one back was ROTTEN WHORE, she said “ I have never run so fast back and it wasn’t for beer!!” Slowly the pack came back after tornado Sirens sounded in the suburb of Lyons!! MUDSUCKER wished he had eyeglass wipers so he could find his way home. HORN-E and even his horn was shaking in fear. All made it back safely and we watched the weather move in on Wrigley Field. The storm did pass and we did make it back out onto the patio for a circle. Remember hashers if you hear someone chosing MARLINS bar in the future for a hash be careful of what may happen. TWO HAHSES and TWO WRATH of GOD type thunderstorms is not a good sign!!!

ON ON

TOTAL HASHERS= 32

The hash ran out of Bar Atlantic in the 5200 N. Block of Lincoln Ave. Again our translator of R-TARD-ESE, JUST I LEAN, did an interpretation of the chalk talk and then we were off!!! The pack was lead by VIRTUALLY HUNG and ran thru the alley behind the bar north. We came to a split at Foster and I caught trail thru the gangway of two buildings. JUST JOHN now was near the front with VIRTUALLY HUNG and I and we came to a check. I went east across Lincoln and found three marks that went between what looked to be some dilapidated public housing buildings, but no one followed.

It turned out that VIRTUALLY HUNG found trail west which was a major short cut but trail is trail so the pack followed him. MOUTHFUL OF MEAT said she heard and saw my whistle but decided to go with the pack. I followed trail and it wound around the cemetery on Western and than cut west on Bryn Mawr. I found a false trail that ended in man’s backyard and he was back there with a friend and a cooler of beer. I asked for a Cerveza and he obliged me.

I continued on and soon realized that the pack had to be in front of me and I was right when I saw true trail marks on most of the marks. I guess I ran an extra 1-1.5 mile tonight but that was all right. I ran through the River Park and saw BN and turned a corner the whole pack was cheering me on to the finish, ok maybe I am exaggerating but they were happy to see me I thought? I LIKE DICK had a cold Lite Beer for me so I was on my second beer stop!!!

We got to the bar in good shape and kicked a few bag playing people out of the backroom and started circle. SNATCHSQUATCH was the RA for today and he soon had the HARES in the circle and throughout the night we hear when one I LEAN drinks or Eileen’s drink. Man I guess she hates her name now!!!

We said Hello to FLAG NO POLE and SILVER SPOOGE along with SIR POOPS A LOT our visitors from parts unknown. Our Virgins JUST TINA, JUST RODNEY, and JUST MARY were shown how to do a proper down down by MORE TAIL, JUST EILEEN, and I LIKE DICK. VIRTUALLY HUNG even took a nap in the circle??

WE said hello to old friends that have been MIA LOWER WHACKOFF, MORE TAIL, SIR POOPS, JUST LORI, and MOUTHFUL OF MEAT!! CHICKEN was the DFL and VIRTUALLY HUNG was our FRB!!! SNATCHSQUATCH soon closed the circle and most people watched the CUBS finally beat the Brewers 6-4 Yeah CUBS!!!! Hope to see you next week!!!
