If the 13th falls on a day when one of the other hashes in the DFW area, we will normally defer to the other hash and provide beer check beer. We will waive the Grapevine requirement. The GQ hash is a very laid back and easy going hash. We allow headgear in circle (wear your prescribed helmet, Donny), chairs in circle, and we don’t care if we already sang that song before.
