Well the Hash Happened, but I do not know how the trail went because I manned the beer stop tonight. I can definetly saw I was in the minority tonight with Mexicans on all the street corners waving flags and celebrating Mexican Independence Day. A little bird did tell me that the trail was short and shitty with numerous small marks hidden along the way laid by master hare 69-Cent Man. Our FRB was Horn-e and LIFA with CUMS ON I LEAN using her bike to complete the trail because there were no walkers. SIR POOPS complained bitterly that we were serving MGD and he wanted TECATE to celebrate the day!!!! We made it back to the on-in and there was MUDSUCKER and ITS TOO SOFT waiting for us!!! We had a short circle and some fun. Quote of the night by ITS TOO SOFT "Is the Iowa? No its West Chicago."

______
Celebrate Mexican Independence Day.  This is the major Mexican Holiday (and not Cinco de Mayo).  The custom for this holiday is that on the night of the 15th, in addition to drinking/singing/drinking/dancing/drinking, there is this Grito (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grito_de_Dolores) ceremony, where the politician in charge hollers "Viva" (long live) and a series of names of people who are long dead, and the crowd answers "VIVA."  The RA will be given the script.

DRESS:  In honor of the holiday, in lieu of hash attire, hashers are encouraged to wear something traditionally Mexican, such as sombreros, serapes, futbol shirts, luchadore masks, black hoodies, etc. 

Environmentally-Friendly Public Transit :)
From the Lincoln Park/Lakeview "Green Zone": Red Line to Fullerton, Fullerton #74 bus all the way west to KEYSTONE (1 block west of Pulaski) by the Metra Station South side of Fullerton.
From Wicker Park/Bucktown: Blue Line to California, hoof it a couplea blocks Northwest on Milwaukee to Fullerton, Fullerton #74 bus all the way west to KEYSTONE.

Driving :(

Hop into your hooptie and cruise to Fullerton & KEYSTONE. I have never been there before but suspect parking should be rather okay.
