5.12 Sex Reject by Run2Eat

Episode Summary

Sex Reject found Brussels hashing in 1995 through a four-page magazine feature shortly after arriving to work for the European Commission. Alone in a new city, he phoned the GM, met at a nearby pub, and discovered muddy trails, freely offered beer, friendly conversation, and what he calls the “joyful nonsense” of a good circle. He returned the following week and had found his tribe.

Interviewed at the Bras and Pants Hash anniversary, he discusses the origin of his name, founding another kennel, favorite songs and RAs, Scandinavian and European travel, and some punishingly memorable trails. He prefers smaller events where conversation and friendships are possible, and considers how technology, cost, and competing distractions affect recruitment. His central advice is simple: try several kennels and traditions before deciding whether hashing is for you.
