Hare(s): Super Stuff’her & Mouthful of Meat
Venue: Time Out Sports Bar – 4641 N Rockwell
Hash Cash: Still only a mere $8 despite OMG the Cubs having the best record in baseball since the First Roosevelt Administration (1908)! Live long enough you’ll see everything and possibly something else too. I predict a Cubs World Series victory in October 5046. You heard it here first.

Come join Super Stuff’her (and Mouthful of Meat) as he celebrates his 12th birthday in Hash out in the mythical land of dragons & unicorns abd where the Brown Line runs on the GROUND!

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit ?
From the Lincoln Park/Lakeview “Green Zone”: Red Line to Belmont, Briown Line to Rockwell, bar is like Party Central, i.e. right next to the Brown Line Station at Rockwell & Eastwood.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Jefferson Park, Lawrence #81 bus East to Rockwell, hoff it 1-1/2 blocks South to Eastwood & Rockwell.

Driving ?
Hop into your hooptie and cruise to Eastwood & Rockwell. Parking is fairly plentiful this far outside of the Green Zone, just not on the L tracks, please. There is just something juar so wrong about da L being on da ground!

Chicken Stiffer

CH3-GM

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview: Red Line to Belmont, Brown Line to Western. Hoof it a few blocks North to Foster and East to Oakley and the bar.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Western. CTA #49 bus North to Foster, hoof it a couple blocks East to Oakley and the bar.

Driving
Hop into your hooptie whist increasing your already substantial carbon footprint and cruise to Foster & Oakley. Meters on Foster may be open as it’s Sunday, otherwise check side streets for Zone permit restrictions.

CH3 #1544

Chicago #1544 Monday 5/12, 7pm @ The Beaumont

Hare(s): Bag Squeezer

Venue: THE BEAUMONT – 2020 N. Halsted (Armitage & Halsted)

Hash Cash: Still only a mere pittance of $8 despite Microsoft withdrawing its buyout offer for Yahoo! causing the hash’s extensive portfolio of long position Yahoo! derivatives to crash & burn like Boner getting shot down by chicks in a bar.

OMG – you can tell Summer is coming when we start hashing out of The Beaumont again!! Think lots of great pitcher and food specials and a bar with a 4am license!

Voted “BEST HASH BAR” in the 2008 elections – The Beaumont is one of the only places where the hash simply couldn’t drink all the beer from the hash cash!!

Located conveniently in the heart of the Lincoln Park/Lakeview “Green Zone” it’s also convenient to public transportation which you may well need after hashing here!

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit
From Lincoln the Park/Lakeview “Green Zone”: Red Line to Fullerton, Brown Line to Armitage, hoof it East on Armitage to Halsted and the bar is just around the corner. Or just walk a few blocks from home.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Western, Armitage #73 Bus East to Halsted and just North to da bar. Note the Armitage bus stops running around 8pm so you’ll need to take the Fullerton #74 bus back to Sadr City.

Driving
Hop into your hooptie and cruise to Armitage & Halsted. Parking is a little rough as most of the main streets are meter spots and side streets are Resident Zone 143 Permit only. Webster is a good bet as is Halsted further North. You can also park in Lincoln Park high school’s lot but make sure you’re out of there before 10pm or you’ll be cabbing it to Cabrini Green to spring your sled from Lincoln Towing.

CH3 #1543

Hare(s): $.69 Man & Virgin Banger
Venue: Czerwone Jabluszko (AKA Red Apple), 3121 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, 60618. The parking lot in the back is very small, so plan on street parking.
Hash Cash: $12, includes more Okocim beer than you can shake a stick at and the restaurant’s wonderful Polish buffet. Out at 7pm SHARPBEER: Keg of Okocim beer, as usual, will be provided by the Stanley Stawski Distributing Co., www.stawskidistributing.com . Just remember that Okocim has a high alcohol content, so if you guzzle this like Miller Lite or water, you will get drunk.

DRESS: Wear an Okocim, or other Polish shirt (provided that it is not from a non-Stawski Polish beer). Perhaps we will get more shirts this year.

Trivia time-out: if you are on the south side of George St., the first house east of St. Hyacinth Basilica (with the large statue of Pope JP2), is the one used in the movie “Stir of Echoes.”

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview: Red Line to Belmont, Belmont #77 bus to Hamlin (just before Milwaukee) hoof it South on Hamlin to Milwaukee and turn left (SE) about 1/2 block to da bar.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Belmont. Cut 1/2 block South to Barry and either hoof it like six blocks West to Milwaukee or hop the aforementioned Belmont #77 bus to Hamlin, as described above, if you’re in a lazy kinda mood.

Driving
Hop into your hooptie and cruise to just SE of Belmont & Milwaukee. Parking is ludicrously plentiful in Avondale and you may even be able to score a space in the restaurant’s lot out back. As Milwaukee is a diagonal street, the lot is kinda oddly-shaped in a sorta trapezoidal way.

CH3 #1542

Hare(s): It’s Too Soft & Lifa
Venue: Party Central Skydeck- 933 W. Wolfram, rooftop
Hash Cash: Still only a mere $8 despite all of Fuji’s Bear Stearns stock going from $188/share to $10/share in less than a year. Kinda reminds ya of Enron. Includes keg & cookout at the on-in. PoP 8 “The Ocho” Regos will be available or click here for the PoP 8 Homepage.

Cubs will have been playing for almost a month now and the Chicago Hash House Harriers celebrates the arrival of “Summer” as we ring in the cutover to Monday nights at our last Sunday afternoon hash until October 2008! If but nothing else catch the infamous Party Central Keg Hoist in action for the first time in ‘08!

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.

CH3 #1541

Chicago Hash #1541 4.21.08 @ Bridgeport Inn & Casa de Cum On Just I Lean

Hare(s): R Tard E & Cums on I Lean
Venue: Bridgeport Inn – 2901 S. Archer Ave. @ Loomis (New Hash Bar!!!)
Hash Cash: Only $8 despite a global spike in grain prices driven by a combination of demand for biofuels and a shift in developing markets towards increased meat consumption.

Join us in the South Side as the hash explores a new bar in scenic Bridgeport. Sox are in Tampa Bay so there shouldn’t be any traffic/parking issues. Liquor Store Weather Cat says Sunny & 63 degrees!

Update 4/18 – Despite this morning’s Magnitude 5.2 earthquake – “Big One of 2008”, CH3 Mismanagement would like to assure everyone that Sunday’s hash will proceed as scheduled presuming the fires are put out and power is restored by ComEd South of 26th St.

Who knows with all the looting we may be able to score some 30 packs of Carling Black Label for the beer check! Speaking of which, canned goods (Miller, Bud, Old Style, Blatz, etc) will be collected at Sunday’s hash for disaster relief.

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit ?
From Lincoln Park/Lakeview “The Green Zone”: Red Line to Fullerton. Brown Line to anywhere ini the Loop and transfer to Orange Line Midway (doesn’t matter which station b/c they run opposite directions and enter/exit on opposite ends so you will have to do the whole Loop one way or the other). Orange Line to Halsted, hoof it about 1/2 mile SW on Archer to Loomis. Loo-o-phobic Bus-o-philes can also take Halsted 8 down to Archer, given three track and slow zone L construction this may be the safer bet.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to Clark/Lake. Orange Line to Halsted, hoof it about 1/2 mile SW on Archer to Loomis. Bus-o-philes can also catch the Halsted 8 off the Milwaukee/Grand Blue Line stop to Archer.

Driving ?
Hop into your hooptie and cruise to the corner of Archer & Loomis. Best expressway option is Stevenson to Damen and the go NE on Damen to Loomis. I believe this area is mainly industrial so it should be relatively desolate on a Sunday and parking should be as common of a sight as the Sunday Morning “Walk of Shame” is in Lincoln Park.

If you hare allergic to expressways you can also shoot down Halsted to Archer and hoof it half mile to Loomis.
