KOZEL BEER, ONE OF THE BEST BREWS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC.
Editor’s Notes
The largest HHH event of 2015 takes place this month when 1,500 hashers converge on Portland, Oregon for InterAmerica’s Hash 2015. Organizers have done an exemplary job of planning what may be the best mega event of the decade. For an example of how Portland hashers get in to the spirit of HHH events, check out the Pirate Hash cover feature in this edition. Rocky Mountain Spotted Beaver, the Poet Laureate of the Charlotte H3 offers some lyrical lines in a HHH Peace Manifesto. If InterAmericas Hash on the “Left Coast” is too far for you to travel this September, the hashes of the Southeast USA have some great trails lined up in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina. Did you make it to Eurohash 2015 in Poland? Whichever route you took to Krakow, it is unlikely that you had more fun, or consumed a larger selection of world class beer than the Hash Bus which started in Frankfurt. Six countries in five days included Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Czech Republic and finally Poland. How many great beers were consumed on this journey is anyone’s guess. No one was keeping count.
If you have any strength or frequent flyer miles left after those summer highlights you might mark your October calendar for a month in the Philippines. Anniversary runs are planned for Cebu, Puerto Galera, La Union and Subic Bay. A mandatory stop for all hashers en route to Subic is Angeles City, where the ACH3 runs on Sunday. AC has a full slate of weekly hashes, hikes and other opportunities to meet up with friends at your favorite watering holes (including La Bamba and Rhapsody) on Fields Avenue.
Sir Malibog treats us to another irreverant collection of hash humor in the latest edition of the Stockholm Absolut Hash Trash.
Don’t forget Pan Asia Hash 2015 in Pondicherry at the end of September, where Lord Krishna promises a well organized event. Bike hashers from around Asia, and as far away as South Africa, traveled to Kuching, East Malaysia for InterBike. Find out all about hashing on two wheels.

Q and A with Slut Machine Q: So, Slut......a Pirate Hash? And this is the 9th Anal Anniversary? How’d you cum up with that? Slut: Well, originally Farticus and I were on the calendar to hare for PH4 to celebrate our birthdays. Q: Hence the original name the “Sluticus Pirate Hash”? Slut: Exactly. So there we where.......sitting at a TGIF when I Blow and Facial announced that there were moving (sad face) to hash in Colorado and they needed to ditch all the booze in their condo before leaving. We just thought making it a pirate themed hash would be a good send off. So there you go.

TIME FOR BED JUMPING FOR JOY IN FRONT OF SCHLOSS SCHĂ–NBRUNN, VIENNA
Six European countries in five days. Sounds adventurous, exciting, maybe even exhausting? Well, for 35 hashers from all parts of the world on their way to Eurohash in Krakow, it was all of the above. The European Bus Tour organized by Hash Travel took us through some of the most scenic landscapes and exciting cities in Europe. HashTravel.com is the master half-mind of Automatic Balls, a wellknown hasher based in Frankfurt. He organizes hash trips for hashers, usually as a pre- or post lube to bigger hash events.
