The group circled up for chalk talk. Marks were explained with the usual mix of confidence and questionable accuracy. Arrows, checks, - simple in theory, but destined to confuse at least half the pack once beer entered the equation. Nods all around suggested understanding.
Trail kicked off smoothly, surprisingly so. The hares must’ve been feeling generous, because the path was well marked and almost suspiciously easy to follow. No one got properly lost, no backtracking, just a steady progression with the occasional shout of “On-On!” echoing ahead.
The first beer stop arrived without drama. A quick regroup, some laughs, and a few well-earned drinks. Spirits were high, legs were warm, and Just Doug dog was jumping on everyone in sight. Then came the second beer stop—the real turning point. Out came the Fireball and Jägermeister, accompanied by Seagram’s Ice like some kind of chaotic holy trinity. Shots were consumed with enthusiasm.
By the time everyone staggered back toward the finish, the stories were already forming. But nothing topped the crowning achievement of the night: Disco Ass earning the coveted “Hash Shit” award. Not metaphorically, not figuratively—literally. A mid-trail incident that would not soon be forgotten, discussed in admiration. It takes a certain commitment to the cause to secure that title, and Disco Ass delivered a shit on trail.
As the night wound down, people gravitated towards the on-after, High Hat.
On-On.
So dust off the frosted tips, break out the denim-on-denim, and come dressed like you’re about to hit TRL in 1997. Whether you’re serving full boy band fantasy or just showing up for beer and bad decisions, you’ll fit right in.
What to expect, in no particular order:
🎤 A beginning
🍻 A beer stop
🍻 A second beer stop
🌉 Love for the death bridges of death 🦶 Froggy with another boot on her foot

🚫 Disappointment at the lack of pavement
🎶 One song, too many times
