Lakeside Hash House Harriers The drinking club with a running problem
Run 1021, 21 January 2004, aka Chinese New Year’s Eve Hare: StuckOn Venue: Post Deng Cafe, 214 Little Bourke St City
Well, ladies and gentlemen, what better place for Stuckon to choose for her first run, and what better time to choose than Chinese New Year?!
The pomp, the pagentry, the noise and excitement and thats just the hashers!! The dragon, the drummers and firecrackers to welcome in the Year of the Monkey were pretty good too! And the area the run covered Melbourne pretty much covered it or visa versa.
Runners and walkers found trail (or not as the case may be) through Chinatown, the Treasury Gardens, Birrung Mar, Federation Square, Southgate, Jeffs Shed (trail found under the accordion player sneaky move Stuckon!), the Aquarium, the Rialto and home.
Alice in her pusher kept the pack together with her cries of on-on (was there something she knew we didnt?) the pack however joined in the celebrations by calling pow pow (the chinese equivalent of on on)
A good confusing, long and well set run followed by lots of yummy tucker.
Due to the lateness of the evening and the parcity of down down beverage, the GM welcomed the visitors Gumboot and Clitus, returnees Deep Throat and Poison. Other returnees Tittilator and Andy wisely left before the business end of the evening.
Special runs were awarded to Mothball (125) and Toto (80)
And then the beer ran out
