Antiwallet Freedom Venture by Rubin Starset

April 20th, 2006 10:22 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: For three days, carry all of the things you normally carry in a wallet or purse in a non-standard receptacle. This receptacle could be a paper bag, a burlap sack, a cup, a piece of soft food, your hand, etc. This task will not be accepted and scored if the receptacle is too standard! No pockets or prefabricated bags - nothing that can be construed as being engineered for carrying credit cards, cash, driver's license, and whatever else you have in your wallet. Extraordinary proofs will be scored accordingly - significant bonus points for baking your personal effects into a cake that you bring around and eat to access items when necessary.

My non-standard receptacle is the overview of Humanitarian Crisis. I didn't want to put my wealth and identity in just an object for a few days, so I thought this would be interesting. The text is printed on the back of a PLEASE LET US LOAN YOU MONEY THEN BREAK YOUR KNEES AS WE DEMAND IT ALL PLUS MORE BACK junk mail letter. Took me around 20 minutes of being anal about the cutting and taping of the whole thing before I had something I was happy with.

The playing card box held up really really well, to the point where I kept using it for the rest of the week. Eight people asked what's up with that? during the time, to which I'd try my best at defining SF0, Humanitarian Crisis, and the current task the antiwallet was a part of. Five of the times I was cut off mid way through the SF0 part with a demand for payment. This also gave me a great chance to rid my self of waller clutter. The down side to this was that I printed the text so small, most people gave up trying to read it. If there are times where I need to pack sort of light, chances are I'll be pulling the words of HC out again to hold my self together.

Hey, looks like voting got a revamp?

It just votes, and doesn't let me say why I'm voting. That's okay, I can blather on here: I totally dig how you took your team's ideology and gave it physical form for this task, and I'd love to check it out at some point. Also bonus points for going on past the three day requirement.

sweet antiwallet

Yeah, Sam just updated voting. We figure that it's nice to be able to just put a vote in quickly and then add a comment separately. Hopefully it will encourage more voting.

And Rubin, that is a freaking sweet antiwallet. I love the physical HC text.

Thank Jason and Ian.
