It's hard to believe this was the ninth annual Red Dress Run hosted by the VH3. It's amazing just how popular these runs have become. Check out the Red Dress link on the VH3 link list and you will be amazed. Edmonton had a run two weeks ago that raised $20,000 for charity and San Diego cuts the registrations off at 500 just to keep it manageable. I think this amazing when you consider that there are many hashers who wouldn't be caught in a red dress.
The VH3 run with 24 people and four visitors seems like a quaint social outing but it wasn't without highlights. The visitors this year were Pylon, Rump Roast and Jackie from Vancouver and Freudian Slip from Nanaimo.
Stoolie, the hare this year started the run from the Traveller's Inn lounge. We were offered this area because we had been bounced from the party room by the Hell's Angels. This is for real and I will explain more on this later. The registration was accompanied by pints of beer for most of the hashers and everyone came dressed in their glamorous red dresses. Some were even accessorized to the hilt. Muck Sucker stood out with his quaffed blonde wig and makeup.
I started off on the run following flour along with Richard the Turd, Deep Shit and Stroke Alone for four blocks before we realized there was no one behind and we had gone in the wrong direction. Stoolie forgot to mention there weren't any X's. Needless to say we hurried back to catch up with t he pack which wasn't hard since everyone in town was pointing they went that way. We caught up with them at the City Hall fountain for a picture stop nd then headed across the road to the Speaker's Corner (A Channel) where people gave their Loonie comments. Shrink, being himself, stood out here.
From there it was on to the perfume counter at the Bay and through the Empress grounds and the Museum to the Parliament Buildings. Jack-off took this stop to engage in a political discussion with the security guards. We then got a picture taken with a scared little old lady and wandered through Beacon Hill Park to St. Ann's for wedding pictures.
The BC was at Slippery Nipples' house even though she was away. The down downs were held near the GJ gym. These were memorable for the numerous jokes and Itchy Buns who arrived in a blue outfit (jeans and a jacket). Boy, did he stand out.
After the down downs we headed back to the Travellers Inn lounge where we were met by 100 Hell's Angels. I'd like to state that a couple of us were awfully nervous in the Men's can with our red mini-skirts on. Needless to say these fears were put to rest when one large M** F** H A shouted free martinis for anyone in a red dress. It wasn't a match made in heaven but at least we felt safer. The pack then moved down to the Princess Mary where we had a buffet dinner and danced the night away.
Good job Stoolie. It was a memorable day that I'm sure everyone enjoyed.
On-out
