From da GM: As another hash year draws to a close it is time to look back and reflect on all of the good times that we had in 2011. Our theme this year will be "Roaring Twenties" so come in your best gangster or flapper outfit and take advantage of a reserved space, an excellent drink package, and even some appetizers to stuff your face with. We'll be announcing the winners of the CH3 elections and handing out all of the year-end awards that you've come to know and love, so be sure to be there. You can pay either Snatchsquatch, Two Girls, One Cupcake, or Hood Whorenament in person or rego online via paypal with the link above.

From da GM: Time to work off that hangover you got by drinking too much at Hash Ball. In a show of solidarity, the Old and New GMs of the Chicago Hash will be joining together to lay trail once again. As of right now we know that Snatchsquatch will be one of the hares, who will be the other? Better vote before Feb 19th and have at least some input on the whole thing.

Destination: St. Louis, MO
View Larger Map
Hash Cash: $50 - $100
From da GM: Chicago is looking to invade St. Louis again here in 2012 as we hop on the Amtrak and head down for their 12th Anal Green Dress Run. We'll be heading down the morning of the 16th (if you can't get off work, don't worry, there's usually a group that goes down later in the day) and then catching an afternoon train back on the 18th. Unfortunately this means you'll likely miss the CH3 run that day, the Bushman Hash that weekend, and the Second City Hash, but the trip is well worth it.
Necessary Info
Registration: Big Hump's website - Rego before Jan 15th for the best deal. Prices increase on Jan 16th, Feb 15th, March 4th, and March 11th.
Transportation: Amtrak out of Union Station is the preferred method. A group will be on the 9:25AM train to St. Louis on Friday, and we'll return on the 3:00PM train on Sunday.
Lodging: Red Roof Inn - St. Louis is the official hash hotel.

Haberdashery Esplosion!
What's that? Even more new Haberdashery for CH3? That's right! We've got all kind of new and exciting ideas lined up. Let's start at the top, shall we, with our next shirt, as seen at right. Pretty snazzy, right? Don't get the reference? Just remember one thing, no matter how much something sucks, its still better than Waukesha. Seriously. It isn't even close. And if you need more info than that, well, you're probably not a big enough sports fan. This is going to be an extremely limited run of shirts and we'll have them for sale for just $10. Get them while they last.
Next up are brand new CH3 patches. CH3 hasn't done patches in quite some time, so I figured that now was as good of a time as any to bust them out again. These are based on an old patch design that was found over at Half-Mind, so I figured it was a good place to start. They're available now for the ultra-low price of $2 a pop. We don't have Happi Coats just yet, but you can still slap this sucker on a bag, a winter cap, a pair of shorts, you name it, and then you've got instant haberdashery! Who doesn't like that? Nobody. Nobody doesn't like that.
Last, but certainly not least, we have the ever popular bottle openers - these little suckers will be available in an assortment of colors (Red, Blue, Purple, Black, Green, & Orange), come with the CH3 foot logo... printed on another foot (doesn't that just blow your mind?) Slap this little guy on your lanyard next to your whistle and you'll never have to worry about being unable to open a bottle at a beer stop again. These little guys are available for only $3.
