Eurohash 2011...

Two years after being part of the group that presented the bid in Turkey for Holland to host Eurohash in 2011, the big weekend was finally upon us. I had planned to help with registration, but instead got caught up trying to solve my own problem after finding someone else’s stuff in our room. Luckily, we were able to squeeze an extra bed into a friend’s room in the converted farmhouse across the street. After dinner the first night, there was a pub crawl around the De Berckt Castle, the perfect venue for 700 hashers. Clubs adopted the different bars by putting their own touches on the music, snacks and sometimes even the beer. The Belgians clearly had the best beer and the Americans had the best music. It was great catching up with hashers we’d met at other European hash events and seeing some old San Diego hashers; unfortunately, no one made it out from Raleigh.

The conference room in the attic was the dorm for the seven hash horrors. Little Mermaid was the official nanny, which meant that there was at least an adult around when they stayed up until 3am.
