After much careful considerations of events of the recent months, both in our own personal lives and at the hash, I am announcing that effective immediately, MMC and I will be resigning our positions on the Tien Shan HHH mismanagement committee as Hash Cash and Grand Master/Religious Adviser, respectively.

At this time we find that we are unable to commit the time, energy and enthusiasm that these positions richly deserve. Rather than wait until such time as those able to perform these duties volunteer, we have decided to let the hash choose from among its own numbers those to perform these duties.

My company will continue to host this website free of charge as it has done for the past two years, and will provide administrative access and instructions to those whom the mismanagement committee will nominate to keep it updated, provided this is done so in a manner in keeping with the spirit of the hash.

All the hash paraphernalia in our possession will be turned over as soon as possible to a trustworthy hasher who will keep it to be given to those who will form the new mismanagement committee. When this is done it will also be posted in this space.

The first task the new mismanagement committee will need to tend to will be the arrangement for sponsorship and/or meeting place. With the decreased spending of the hash in local restaurants, it has been difficult to maintain good a good relationship with establishments such as Mad Murphy's and Dublin, and the occasional rowdy behavior of some hashers at these locations has not helped.

Dublin's manager, Andrey, was kind enough to give us a home at Dublin last year, but he has now left that job, and as happened at Murphy's before, our last few trips to Dublin we have seen no beer waiting for us, and Dublin has seen no significant business from hashers outside the mismanagement committee.

We both wish the best to the members of the Tien Shan HHH of whom we have many fond memories.

Cheers and on-on,

Digital Dildo and Make Me Come

Former Tien Shan HHH Grand Master Jackmaster, stranded in Tashkent without a decent hash (oh, the horror) has turned to making an online diary instead. Everyone hoist a mug to Jackmaster's Diary.

Due to the up and coming departure of Jackmaster and Mighty Mouse, who will be leaving next month for Tashkent, on the June 15 run Digital Dildo was elected to replace Jackmaster as Grand Master. Occupants for the positions of hare raiser and hash hops will be named sometime soon...
