2nd Annual Faaaaalllllll Campout

Posted on by

Join the Houston Hash for the second annual Faaaallllllll Campout, thumb during which the bravest of us will jump out of a perfectly good airplane. (Skydiving not required for campout or hash.)

The campout will take place Sept. 30-Oct. 2 at Skydive Spaceland, mind located about halfway between Houston and Galveston off of Highway 288 in gorgeous Rosharon, Texas.

Race Day Approacheth

Posted on by

Put Sunday the 30th on your calendar for the Hash Mile (mile 11/24 on Allen Parkway across from the Federal Reserve — map here). The Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Half Marathon are a mere week away. Every year, the hash sponsors mile 11/24 of the race route in what has become our biggest community service project of each year.

The theme is “Cowboys and Indians” so we have built a fort and several tee-pees! Runners will start showing up by 7:30 or thereabouts, and we need you there to cheer them on. And as usual, we’ll have tons of food, beer and entertainment, all very kid friendly. Please no dogs.

So if you aren’t running the race, be sure to dress up. If you are running the race, be sure to take a little break at mile 11/24 for some golden elixer. The finish line can wait.

A growing list of hashers running each race is after the jump.

POW: Hooter’s birthday

Posted on by

Back in the day, before we had a website and a hotline and a Yahoo group and Facebook, future hashes were advertised by handing out flyers during the circle.

From Pitts comes this flyer, Hooter Bill’s 700th Run. Some interesting things to note about this flyer:

  • • Hash cash was $4 in 1994
  • • The fine print: Be forewarned! None of that wanker swill (Bud Light or Miller Light) will be quaffed on this night — Hooter is known as a connoisseur of the finest swill money can’t buy. Did he actually drink a St. Arnold Amber on this night?
  • • Pitts also notes that this was the first keg of St. Arnolds ever consumed at the hash.

Hooter turns 72 (!) this week. Happy birthday to our Hash Grand Master.

The Hash Archives

Posted on by

To prove my love for the hash, I spent ALL WEEKEND attempting to reinstall the H4.org archives.

Not everything is there and not every link works, but most of them are up at http://h4.org/archive/.

This covers 2006-1994 or so. I am still trying to get the archives between 2006 and when I took over in May 2008. For now, you can access some of the archives for those in-between years at the links below:

http://h4.org/archive/2006_Runs/
http://h4.org/archive/2007_Runs/
http://h4.org/archive/2008_Runs/

The link to the archives in the sidebar on the home page will be updated soon.

Happy Valentine’s Day. You can thank me later.
