On May 25, 1977, the first Star Wars movie was released.
And, May 25 is Towel Day, the day fans of Douglas Adams carry towels in honor of his work.
And, May 25 is the Glorious 25th of May, when Discworld fans wear lilac to commemorate Terry Pratchett’s work and to support research in Alzheimer’s Disease.
And, May 25 is Geek Pride Day.
This May 25, the Blooming Fools’ mission is clear: Commemorate this triumvirate of social infelicity by wearing a towel, a lilac, your pet dianoga, or just by showing up for the Twin Geeks Hash, starting from Wapehani Mountain Bike Park in Bloomington. Trail begins promptly (ha) at 4 p.m., your hares will be Goesentite and White Lightning, and of course the admission price is a mere $6 for trail, snacks, and beer beer alternative beverages beer (cheep!). Unless it’s your first time, in which case you can hash for free. (Oh, and cell phones on trail are a technology-on-trail violation. Geek.)
We don’t care if WarGames is on TV, dammit – come to the hash and get some sunlight and vitamin D. Honestly, you’re looking a little pale.
(P.S.: Extra doofy sincerity points for you if you participated in Hands Across America, which took place on May 25, 1986. The hares will admit to nothing.)
Directions: From College Mall, take Second Street west. Way west. Like, past Walnut and College, and past the hospital, and past Landmark. When you pass the Twin Lakes Recreation Center on your right, look for S. Weimer Rd. on your left. The intersection of Weimer and Second is before the entrance to the softball fields if you’re coming from town, so…look at the map. Park, hash.
