IMPORTANT: ALL BALLOTS MUST BE TURNED IN TO CHICKEN STIFFER BY NOON LOCAL TIME ON WEDNESDAY, FEB 20TH TO COUNT – THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING

Greeting all you wankers and bimbos,

The time has finally come for us to vote in the 2013 Chicago H3 Hash Erections. I’ve included the instructions below so as to minimize how much you can mess this up.

Voting In Person:

(1) Find Chicken Stiffer at your next CH3 hash.
(2) Get a ballot from Chicken Stiffer with your number of votes written in the upper right hand corner of the ballot – DO NOT WRITE YOUR NAME ANYWHERE ON THE BALLOT.
(3) Use up to that many votes IN EACH CATEGORY divided any way that you see fit.
(4) Give your ballot back to Chicken Stiffer and he’ll mark you off the list and you don’t get to vote again, even though this is Chicago.

Voting In Absentee:

(1) Download the ballot from the CH3 website.
(2) Look up how many votes you have and write that number in the upper right hand corner of the ballot – DO NOT WRITE YOUR NAME ANYWHERE ON THE BALLOT.
(3) Use up to that many votes IN EACH CATEGORY divided any way that you see fit.
(4) Either email your ballot back to Chicken Stiffer or print it off and hand it in to Chicken Stiffer at your next CH3 hash. He’ll mark you off the list and you don’t get to vote again, even though this is Chicago.

Boom, done. Simple, right?

See everybody at Hash Ball when we announce the winners.

On-On,
Snatchsquatch

Greetings all ye wankers and bimbos, your friendly neighborhood Snatchsquatch here with a very important announcement. Since it is now January that means it is time to start thinking about the Hash Ballot and Hash Erections – as we’ve done in the past, every member of the hash will have a vote for every Chicago Hash they attended with an additional vote for every trail they hared/event they helped plan in 2012. For example, if you attended 10 runs and hared twice, you’d have 12 points (10+2=12) – these numbers count ONLY Chicago H3 events, and not any of the other hashes in the area. I’ve tried to take attendance (along with Chicken, Lifa, and Rainbow), but I’m not perfect. Please take the time to review the attendance sheet as it now appears at the top of this page – along the top of the page you’ll find a tab for “Records” that includes a link to the “2012 Attendance,” please double check that I’ve correctly marked all the hashes that you attended so that you’ll have the right number of votes in the upcoming Erection. If I’ve erred, please let me know by the end of January and I will correct my attendance figures. You have until Jan 31st to contact me, as voting starts on Feb 1st and lasts until Feb 22nd. Secondly, we need nominations for the Hash Erection – I’ve tried to remember as much as possible, but again, I’m not perfect. Please view the “2013 Hash Ballot Nominations” document that is also located under the “Records” tab on the page – it includes our usual list of awards as well as a space to nominate somebody for GM (please note, if you nominate anyone other than yourself for GM, I will double-check with them to make sure they actually want to be GM, so don’t go nominating somebody as a joke). Just like the number of votes, you have until Jan 31st to nominate somebody for a Hash Erection Award and voting will take place from Feb 1st until Feb 22nd with the awards being given out at Hash Ball on Feb 23rd. If you need help jogging your memory (especially if you get CH3 and TH3 runs confused), check out the “2012 Runs” link, also under the “Records” tab. As always, thank you for your time, and I look forward to seeing all of you at upcoming hashes. On-On, Snatchsquatch

Chicago HHH Mismanagement, Drinking Practice, & Wingsday

Wednesday 1/4 – 8:00 PM

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

From da GM: Holy cow, has it really been that long since we did mismanagement? Feels like it was just yesterday. In all seriousness, I’ve decided to move the mismanagement meeting back an hour because a few people said 8 was better than 7, so don’t go showing up at 6 and getting all wasted before the meeting – save that for during. As for topics, we’ll be doing a quick year-in-review, talking about the ballot, hash ball, and forming committees to helm the upcoming events in 2012 (Memorial Day, PoP, and the 1800). As always the bar will have $1 PBR cans, $6 domestic pitchers, and $0.25 wings. Now is your chance to show up and have your voice heard, so be there or be square!

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.

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.
