Plans

Plan is to bake muffins, get picnic stuff, dress in formalwear, and appear in my RV saturday midnight, to pick up 'first midnite' of midnite hash. If I can get it into the parking lot I'm in like flint. I offer pie to a stranger and invite them into RV to consume it. I try to hang out long enough to see a police car (they're constantly coming in and out of this spot).

Acheivements I'm expecting -

  • Land Geohash (this will be my first successful hash if I make it)
  • Radio Yerevan on Couch Potato - I live in an RV, it's the vehicle I'll be using to get there. Distant

RY because I'm only driving to that spot because I'm hashing.

  • Geosquishy - the 7-11 sells them! 5 pts (within 1km) + 1 pt (10-midnite) + 1 pt (rolling advert??)
  • Formal Attire - I'm wearing a blue velvet dress and high heels.
  • No Batteries - I don't own a GPS
  • Open Streetmap - mailbox at the hash point
  • Picnic - I'm picking up the plastic utensils. My plan is to serve the pie and lure them into my RV home with

it.

  • Abduction - Getting person into home.
  • Police - I'll hang out long enough to see the cops.
  • Multihash - depending on how I feel, I might try to pick up a hash on sunday
  • Earliest Geohasher - I'm gonna be there at the moment the interval starts
  • Midnite - definitely doing this.
  • Meetup - definitely will meet people

Stuff I considered, but won't work -

  • Speed Racer - can't get up to speed limit because the hash is at a corner (and it's actually on the sidewalk,

anyway, if google is to be believed)

  • Maker - while I did a huge amount of work on the RV, it's still not something I made.
  • Hobbit - the formal requires shoes, so I gotta choose.
  • Twister - doubt I can get drunks to play it
  • Couch Potato - realisticly, it's outta the spirit of the thing unless the hash lands on the spot I'm parked BEFORE I see the day's hash.
  • Sadly, while I was once a cab driver in the area and have been in this 7-11 many times, I don't have proof.
  • Sunrise - I'm not quite insane enough for this.

Things I might get, but are pretty iffy -

  • hashcat - if I see one I'll try it
  • Last man standing
  • drag-along - tried to get some friends to go, no luck

Given my luck so far, this is almost certain

  • Train wreck consolation
