Yes, on this day in 1525, Martin Luther, who had rejected the authority of the Catholic Church and "priestly celibacy", got hitched to Katharina von Bora. Sex, even in marriage (monogamy), is still a hell of a lot better than no sex at all. And of course for us hashers, following trail, drinking beer, and chasing skirt meat are our 3 necessities. (In roughly that order) And as summer approaches here in Seoul, we need to take cover (and shade) under the familiar overpass in Samgakji.

Our old stomping grounds provide us with a chance to imbibe and gather one last time before this year's changeover. Yes, that takes place on 20 June, whether we like it or not. Your GM, HonSec, Hooch, and various EMs have been discussing and planning for it. Details are going to be announced in due course.

Your GM will lay out a trail on very familiar ground. It might not be new or exciting, but it is convenient and centrally located, with plentiful access to food and booze. If it isn't too rainy, maybe we can spot a herd of Korean lovelies over yonder, tempting us along our trail. The usual Exit# 8 is where the pack arrows begin. Those of you who are physically or mentally incompetent can use an elevator located nearby. See you there!

From Seoul Station get on line 4 and head south for 2 stops. Get off at Samgakji and head to exit 8. Follow the arrows to the onsite.

June 20 is the GM changeover at Ground Zero, Namsan! There will be beer, t-shirts and a New GM. So bring you running and drinking Shoes and be there!
