Misc Info:
Come experience the ultimate in human shiggy the Saturday night before the Indy 500. It’s the closest thing the Hoosier State has to Mardi Gras. Public drunkenness, open containers, boobies and beads, and the hash blazing through the center of it all.
Our start location is the same as the last couple of years, Big Al’s. There is plenty of free space for overnight tent camping and there should be port-a-pottie access.
Expect multiple beer checks.
It will be A-to-A with the circle and on-after around the campfire at Big Al’s. The hash will provide food and drink for the on-after.
We’ll also have IndyScent t-shirts for sale at an additional cost.
Directions:
Traffic has never been a problem in the past, so don’t let that scare you off. Big Al’s house is on the south side of 16th Street , near the corner of 16th and N Worth Ave. It will look just like a normal little white house but pull around the house to the left of the driveway and there is some major acreage back there. The hash will meet up in the far back by the woods.
If confused or lost call Flapjack at 217-417-7716.

A BRIEF HALF-ASSED HISTORY OF THE HALF-ASSED HOOSIER HASH
General remarks by Double Fister
The Half-Assed Hoosier Hash started as an enterprise of the Hoosier Hash in Lafayette and for many years was the brainchild (that's saying something) of the ubiquitous Kotex. It has taken the form of a normal hash or a hyper in certain years, but always features half-assedness in planning and executing and tons of human shiggy the likes of which you may not be able to imagine. The following are more details from the archives of the IndyScent e-mail group.
199?-2005 HA-Hash history by A. Nuts, Hoosier Hash (Lafayette)
Well before the turn of the century there was a hasher from Texas who was also a regular Indy 500 attendee. He thought it would be cool to hash at the 500 and hared a hash there. He was friends with an Indiana hasher who hasn't been heard from (your banned Rat, BFH3) for a long time now. Anyway, this Indiana hasher was a semi-regular HH3 hasher and so we all heard about this and attended and it was tons of fun. So we kept on doing it -- we were the only hash in the state, well not counting Earlham, so we could hash where we wanted to.
Eventually Indyscent was founded. The original mismanagement was the type to leave town on long weekends and wasn't interested in doing that hash and didn't care if we did and it is a hash that should be done so we kept doing it. By then the HAH! (Half-Assed Hoosier) hash existed (separate story but it started as 2 HH3ers, one White House hasher and one virgin on a road trip in state) so when we kept doing it, we 'transferred' it to the HAH! hash Indyscent mismanagement
changed and we tried and almost succeeded in passing it off. Then Kotex, the hash ambassador started doing it, keeping the HAH! hash designation.
2006-present by Double Fister
In 2006, the intrepid IndyScent trailmaster Mr. Q.Q. Bitch set out to take over the HAH Hash from his Jesus-looking cousin Kotex, who was in moving limbo between Indiana, Kentucky and who knows where. Armed with long hair and a beard, Quack Quack tapped his Sancho Panza-style pal, Just Dave (later christened Flapjack the Milfman), into haring for only his second-ever hash, and they teamed with Just Chandler (later Blow in the Dark), who would be the third hare and host the on-after right near Georgetown Rd. 2006 featured a sangria check among the multiple beer stops and the usual human shiggy.
For 2007, QQB and Flapjack vowed to return to hare the HAH Hash, but with Blow in the Dark having moved, the location returned to Big Al's, where the HAH Hash had originated for multiple years prior. Flapjack worked tirelessly (or at least half-assedly) to find sponsorship by Sparks for this hash, but did not receive cooperation from Miller Brewing Co., instead finding a local beer distributor in Illinois. Therefore, it was the Half-Assed Hoosier Hash NOT Sponsored by Sparks!
