Run # 450 Rude Lounge... errr... Jugheads... errr... Fuel Lounge

So finally where was the beer venue? The mail said Rude Lounge which was followed by another mail which said Jugheads and eventually we started downing beers at Fuel Lounge. That besides the point, this run we saw something that we have not seen in many years. A beer stop in the middle of the run. Now that gives the run a straight 10/10.

Now Fartashaty was standing at the bouncer counter collecting monies for the run. Staff members at Rude Lounge were confused as to what was happening. We had just taken over. Hashers were confused too. The more frequent question being asked was, "Wasn't there an email which mentioned that the run was moved 300mts away to Jugheads?"

To explain that, the run was initially at Rude Lounge but they decided to charge us more just because we have the money. Jugheads offered us a better deal and we only go places where we can get more beer with the same amount of money.

Vesku, the hare, started giving us the instructions on how the run was marked and what were the diversions.
The various markings we would see enroute. 
And with whatever we could hear of the instructions, thanks to the noise on the street, we headed off west towards L&T. The markings were very tricky and we found Vesku guiding us in all the right places. Within the first 30 - 45 minutes of running we reached a point where Vesku stood with a big bucket right at his feet. 
"Beer stop!" he shouted.

It was like a mini circle in the middle of nowhere where beers were popped and hashers started small conversations of their own.

After about 30 minutes at the beer stop (we were waiting for runners of the long run to meet us here), we headed on to the more difficult part of this run which involved climbing down a small hill with steep jumps.

All in all, after an hour plus a few minutes, we were back at Fuel Lounge, gathered in one corner with beer in our hand. 

Wandering Nuts and Duffy were the only 2 members who did the entire run which amounted to 12kms approx. Kudos!

The after party continued at the Bonsai residence as a few hashers moved there for the remainder of the evening and to celebrate SNAFU's birthday as the clock struck midnight and the calendar changed dates. 

On On!
