Valhash Catalina "Lucky 13"

Here's an email that CreamPuff sent to the disorganizers yesterday:

Hey Clueless Crew!

It's time to start looking at the plans for Valhash Catalina 2008! As you probably know, the dates are September 12-14, 2008. Mark your calendars and cancel any conflicting plans now!

Asscrackistan, you told me about some possible Friday night hares at the hash on Monday, but I had too much beer in me to recall--who are the hares to contact? (I was going to hare Friday night, but I can move mine to Sunday's hangover hash.) Beefeater & Stumblina already spoke for the Main Event on Saturday, and I will try to get the big stage down in town that we used a couple of years ago for down downs--depending on where the end of the trail will be. Other points of dis-orgynization:

• We have already secured the entire lower "Beach Camp", as well as couple of tent cabins for our Saturday hares--so we have a top of the hill presence as well.
• Oedipussy is designing the t-shirt (around the "Lucky 13 theme);
• Beer will again be kegs of "Humboldt Hemp Ale", which everyone seems to agree on;
• Food : We intend to have a breakfast catered at the Hash Central beach camp on Saturday morning, so we might just decide to have them also cater the evening meal there as well...something to consider.
• Cost this year goes up to $89.69, in case anyone inquires. We did have some very early regos who sent the $69.69., which is ok--I keep exactly $69 in the Valhash account year-around, as a symbolic gesture, but also to cover such deficits.
• Promotion/advertising/pimping : We have already posted the event on the hash calendar, including the "Upcumming Events" section on top (however, it is still on the second page "more upcumming...".) We will attach the actual rego to the event posting by this next weekend 7/12-13. We will send an email blast out soon to all prior attendees, and encourage each of them to forward to their favorite hashers. Please begin to spread the word out there. Also, we will utilize the Valhash blog(also attached to the hash calendar), which Dinged-Up Dick{DuD} so kindly created and maintained for us over the past several years. (DuD--I need to talk to you to review blogging procedure}

We are thinking of a scouting trip to Two Harbors, Catalina on the weekend of 8/16-17, or 8/23-24, which would put us out in front of the event by 3-4 weeks. Anyone interested in going on that, please give us input on which w/end is best(it is looking like a very full summer schedule).

Kindly forward this email to anyone who should be involved in/aware of the planning, if I have unintentionally overlooked them. Cheers!

On On,
CreamPuff
