Plus, a little birdie mentioned school is letting out, and we may have prime opportunity to disrupt all the "nice" family and friend photos … nothing like a mess of sweaty hashers to photobomb all your special memories!

And that’s not all – this hash is DOG FRIENDLY!

Hares: Sternum & Rectum and Major Piece of Ass.
Time: Meet at 7:30, Pack off at 8 – standard hash time (meaning, 8 or maybe 8:03 or 8:09 if you’re lucky?)
Hash Cash: $8
Start Location: 1021 S 46 st (between Chester and Springfield)
Apres: inquire within, or check the map below. 

This will be an A to A’ trail, meaning the start and end are just a couple blocks away from each other and parking/biking/public transiting to the start location will still leave you nearby the end of trail.

Friday, April 6th in and around the Old City area

Start Location: The Irish Pol, 45 S. 3rd St., Philadelphia, PA

Hash cash: $8
Hare: Tits of Steel

This is a PROBABLY an A to B trail! If it is an A to B – the on-in/end will be within moderate walking distance (about a mile) from the beginning. (The end/on-in will be visible on this map below)

It’s First Friday and it’s Spring. It’s also Good Friday! The galleries will be overflowing with people looking to find the next Picasso or Rembrandt. Musicians will be playing on the sidewalk. Parking is going to suck. All the bars are going to be filled with d’bags. This is a great setting for a hash! 

All the young, optimistic artists will be selling their wares which took hours of labor and blood, sweat and tears on the street.  YOU CAN HELP CRUSH THEIR DREAMS! Or you can wear a beret or a smock and act smarmy while running through the First Friday art crowd looking for trail and some of our favorite beverages.

There may be gallery checks. There may be beer and/or wine checks. There may be a few artists and musicians who can make a living doing art hiding out in this melee.

Note this is most likely going to be an A to B trail. The end might be about a mile from the beginning, so if you get there late, follow trail or talk to Tits of Steel for a shortcut via email/facebook or on Thursday’s BFM trail if you know you’ll be late.

Friday, April 6th – Philly Full Moon Fancy Pants First Friday Hash. Hared by Tits of Steel. 7:30 meet up, Pack off at 8pm. Hash cash and start/end location TBA. This may be an A to B trail, but should be easy to get from one to another if so. More info coming soon!

WHEN: Friday, February 24th. Meet up 7:30, Pack off 8pm

WHERE: Woolly Mammoth’s, 430 South Street, Philadelphia, PA
WHY: Where’s My Vagina’s Birthday is a great excuse for a hash
WHAT: Wear Orange
Hash Cash: Pickup beer check, $4 hash cash
Specials: $2.50 Yuengling and Lites, $4 Pinnacle shot and drink specials

Since it’s a birthday and a hash, we’re doing something a little different and the beer check will be a pick-up style, meaning you the hashers will choose and purchase your own beer if the check is at a bar. There may be a shot check elsewhere at no additional cost to you. Because of that, we’re going to make hash cash an affordable $4 for Circle only, and then offer drink specials TBA at the bar.

2012 GREEN DRESS WEEKEND INFO
Also, mark your calendars for the GREEN DRESS PRE-LUBE for Friday, March 16th. Hared by Rear Engineer. Location and Hash Cash TBA.
So, that means we’ll have the BFM on Thursday, 3/15, Full Moon Green Dress Pre-Lube 3/16, and Philly Hash Green Dress Run on Saturday March 17th!

So we gathered together on a chilly and windy but dry January evening for the anal Do Shots Don’t Get Shot version of the Philly Full Moon. Lovingly organized by Hold the Sausage with Short Distance Rimmer helping her this was an event not to be missed. We had virgins courtesy of Urine Luck, Gay Matthews Lamb, Penis in my Ear and Splashback. Of course we can’t remember any of their names except for Splashback’s virgin Just Rod who was the only puker of the night, at the end at the Green Room.

Who came: if we forgot you, sorry, it’s all hazy now. Don’t expect us to remember next time either:

Hold the Sausage, Short Distance Rimmer, Flipper Over, Sternum & Rectum, Stacks, Where’s My Vagina, Bumble Beaver, Tits of Steel, 2 Clump Chump, Bonsai Bush, Tube Cock, Urine Luck + virgins, Gay Matthews Lamb +virgins, Just Kneel (formerly known as Just Matt), Penis in My Ear, Midwife Crisis, Virgin Pimp, The S&M Man, Quart, Softcore Analyst aka John from Glenside from Ardmore, Splashback and virgin Just Rod, Shaves my Pussy, and ???  At the end of the night He’s A Lesbian caught up to us at Penis in My Ear and Urine Luck’s house, and One Inch In joined us with Dr. Squealgood at circle at his One Inch/Scooby’s roof.

We started at the Urban Saloon and upon exiting were handed Rummi bears by Bonsai and Tube Cock. Then we walked east on Fairmount to Corinthian where we were left care packages of special fruity shots from Up Her Ali/Broken Rod who were not present. After filling our shotglass necklaces with them and drinking them to brace for the icy wind, we made our way around the corner along the side of the prison and had some Dirty Shirley Temples and Rootbeer Floats courtesy of Sausage & Rimmer. Next we wandered through the narrow streets and alleys of Fairmount to have Dirty Girl Scouts ala Stacks. Her street was arranged to shield us from the worst of the wind and people enjoyed the minty shots and warmed their blood/livers with them. We then continued on to stop #4 at Bonsai Bush and Tube Cock’s for pizzas and more shots – sour apples and something i don’t remember. The pack housed quite a few pies and we brought the last box of pizza with us filled with as many slices as it would hold as we tarried forth to Just Kneel’s place… Since his place was quite the bachelor pad with beautiful hard wood floors and shiny countertops most of the women decided to pee there thinking it was the cleanest stop on the trail. We enjoyed honey whisky’s and again braced ourselves for the cold. Next stop – Urine Luck/Penis in My Ear – who had Soco and Limes and something tropical and pineappley. Their place was also relatively clean for a home where two dudes lived. We filled up for the long long walk back to One Inch In’s and Circle. More pizza got eaten at that stop and on the walk back. We made our way into the courtyard and up the many flights of stairs or short elevator ride up to the roof of One Inch In’s and got ready for Circle! Some of the gentlemen on trail helped Bumble and Tits by carrying the heavy suitcase of the Sacred Vessels of the Philly Full Moon.

Since everyone was pretty drunk it was decided this was going to be speed circle. But once the wind blew a whole case of PBR off the table we were a little unsure about breaking out the fragile Sacred Vessels and left the suitcase unopened. So the hare drank, and the Virgins drank, and we had a short round of incoherent accusations which I don’t remember anymore… then the pack started chanting "What’s in the suitcase! What’s in the suitcase! Open it! Open it!" so Tits and Bumble opened the suitcase and drank from the sacred vessels along with Flipper Over who was talking about penises all night… (acceptable hash behavior) and everyone was happy, all the announcements are probably out of date by now except for Cousin It’s Tailgate Hash. Circle closed, we all tried to get a piece by going over to the Green Room for the On-After where even more people met up with us and partook in drinking more jello shots, beers, etc. A mini dance party broke out, all the single men tried to hit on Quart in a cockfight style round, and Splashback’s virgin Just Rod puked on the side of the bar near the door inspiring many of us to go outside for some fresh air. After cleanup we remained and who can remember what happened.

Welcome, welcome welcome to the ?th Anal "Do Shots, Don’t Get Shot"

We know that you’ve been training your liver all year long, and now is the time that you get to showcase its prowess. Hope it doesn’t disappoint you. Since it’s winter, and we thought you might be lazy about running and drinking shots (this ain’t no beer mile, plus that turnout was pisspoor, you slackers) – this is a crawl. Crawling is what we expect you to be doing by the end of the night anyway, so it may be a smart idea to stash some cab fare, bus tokens, condoms, breath mints, pickup lines for whatever way you’re getting home (or to someone’s home) after this all goes down.

Hold the Sausage has been working hard with her address book of Fairmount hashers to make some amazing or at the very least, alcoholic shots for you to drink. So come on out, leave your running clothes at home, and taste the rainbow. Or whatever they have mixed up for you this night.

We’ll be starting at the Urban Saloon on Fairmount Ave. Around 8pm Standard Hash Time, we will depart for our first stop. Try to be there… From there, we will try to remember to leave a trail of marks and flour for any late comers, but as we’ll be drinking many shots, we can’t promise to remember. If you miss us, or get hopelessly lost – obviously try phoning someone. If that doesn’t work – go to our On-After location at the green room and wait for us there. Here are all the details below in a handy paragraph:

Do Shots, Don’t Get Shot 2012
Friday, January 27th. 7:30pm, Pack off at 8pm
Hares: Hold the Sausage & Fairmount hash crew
Start Location: The Urban Saloon, 2120 Fairmount Avenue
On-After: The Green Room, 1940 Green Street
Hash Cash: $10  

Plus, bring any cab fare/bus tokens/etc.

View Do Shots, Don’t Get Shot 2012 in a larger map

NOTE: This is not a r*n. This is a shot crawl in Fairmount. If you wear running clothes, you may be mocked.

The hare, Hold the Sausage, is mapping out all the details and we’ll have a start location, end location (for circle) and on-after listed soon. Hash cash will probably be around $10ish.

SAVE THE DATE FOR FRIDAY, JANUARY 27th. Standard Hash Time. Also it might be smart to have some emergency phone numbers and cab fare pinned inside your coat for getting home, so start working on that now.

 Full details will be posted soon.

Specials: Pitchers of Lager and Miller Light, $7.50

The shortest days of the year are upon us, and to combat the onset of Seasonal Affective Disorder, we suggest you put on some festive clothing, such as a hideous Cosby sweater or a slutty elf costume, or maybe the suggestion in the photo, and come on out to the Philly Full Moon Hash and drink til the sun comes up.

There’s a lot to be depressed about in winter: spending all your money on gifts your friends and family surely won’t appreciate, getting fat because the holiday food is so rich, the fact that winter clothing makes all of us look even fatter…, seeing much less skin on your running routes around the city (or wait, maybe this is a good thing considering the latter?), the cold ice rain that we know is coming. PLUS, having snow days as an adult sucks a lot more than as a child because you have to shovel and sometimes go to work anyway… 

So wash away your winter BLAHS and come out to the Philly Full Moon on December 2nd.
Jingle Balls optional!

After meeting CYHMN at the bar, we set off to lay trail – a shot check at Cianfrani Park, a beer check at Jefferson Square and lots of checks in case Cause showed up. When we got back, we had several anxious hashers waiting upstairs: Cause for Blindness, Flounder, Shaves My Pussy (SMP), Mary Fucking Poppins (MFP)… we headed out for Chalk Talk around 7:50 … and then as we pointed the pack in the direction of the r*n, 2 Clump Chump came running up so we pointed him to the pack which was just a half a block ahead – he quickly passed them as FRB.

CYHMN and TOS then shortcutted over to the park to wait for the pack with a shot check – spiked cider with Pumpkin Whipahol topping. Just a few short minutes after we arrived, 2 Clump and MFP came bouncing through the park and we poured them some shots. As the rest of the pack caught up, CYHMN took off to go to the beer check and TOS stayed behind as a "sweeper" to follow the pack and make sure no one got too lost in the angled streets and alleys of South Philly.

We ran down 8th to Catherine, and east on Catherine to 7th… Down 7th to a check at a 6-point star at Passyunk… the pack was fooled a few times with Falses and Back Checks, but luckily a true trail arrow up Carpenter led the way to 6th, and then south on 6th, through a supermarket parking lot to the brown-bag beer check at Jefferson Square. At the beer check, we said hello to the neighborhood watch, talked about SMP’s abandonment issues and how happy he was to see us there at the shot check with alcohol, and saw we missed S&M Man by a few minutes at Woolly’s. The trail continued back to Woolly’s east on Washington to Moyamensing, and stair-stepped north and west a block or two until it led to an ON-IN mark past the Zagar murals on Leigthgow St.

Circle added a few hashers who missed the trail, many of whom drank from the sacred vessels: Urine Luck, S&M Man, Tube Cock, Bonsai Bush, He’s a Lesbian, and Just Brad who showed up very late with a popped collar after a Yacht Club dinner.

Make sure you don’t miss next month’s exciting trail, the Jingle Our Balls Hash/Philly AGM Pre-lube at the Green Room, 12/2. Details right here!
