Location

The hash is, amazingly, across the street from a 7-11 (they sell squishies! They're open 24 hours!

at the corner of Toyon and Rollins Rd in Burlingame

It's a business, the worker will be there, so we're virtually guaranteed a meeting with people, not to mention that convenience stores are often full of people at this time.

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

Which will make this a land squishy formal no batteries open streetmap picnic abduction police multihash earliest midnite meetup hash, if I make everything.

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

Gratuitous ribbons -

• Celebrity - the criteria is 'has a wikipedia entry' and I do, so there's a 'celebrity' (I'm a pretty minor celebrity, folks) at any hash point I go to
• Hitchhiker - I'll get this certainly, since I have towels in the RV

Given my luck so far, this is almost certain

• Train wreck consolation
