Followed a Derive Last Night (re: Exquisite Dérive)

I followed what appeared to be an exquisite derive last night. Saw arrows near the Yerba Buena Gardens and MOMA, and followed them all the way out and around several interesting locations till I ended up on Market around Beale. I'm sure I joined the derive abot halfway through, but I haven't backtracked yet.

Arrows are stilll clear and visible, and makes for a lovely evening walk. Assuming it was not someone from SF0... weird initials in several spots but I didn't write them down. Worth your time, though.

Good God! (re: ---~ATTN CITIZENS: FIGHT SF0 STAGNATION NOW~---)

Not again!

It was, simply, amazing.
I've done a decent amount of this sort of thing, and found it to be probably the best produced, ever.
If you can go, do. You won't regret it (if they don't care about the players, Rubin, they sure to put out an effort for them).

If you can't go, there is plenty to be found about it on the web (try Unfiction: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=26817 though be prepared for lots of spoilers).
I'm not sure, but I got the feeling they'd still be open into January.

Just brilliant.

You get my first vote of this era, Myrna. These pictures made my day!

Hi BU,
I didn't care that they did it the first day of the task. I thought that was cool. What I cared about was that the spirit of the task was asking the taskers to skip school or work, which is kind of hard to do on a Sunday unless you work on a Sunday.

The spirit of the task, it seems to me, is about what you do with the skipping. It is about Ferris Bueller and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, about ditching your socialized responsibilities for a time to do something... different. I saw nothing about that in this praxis, so I posed the question. That’s it. Posed the question. No flag, no nasty "This praxis sucks" comments. Just. A. Question.

I didn't post my question anywhere else because there were only a few folks who had posted this task at the time. Lincoln, for instance. And Lincoln skipped work he was scheduled to do on a Sunday, which met the criteria of the task.

And I think the temple is totally cool, really amazing, and I want to know more about it (was it a kit, scratch built, is it of a real temple, what's it made of, is it really edible?), and I wish there was more praxis here to satisfy those questions.

But all I did was post a question, which I do whenever I see someone posting something I'm not sure meets the criteria (and you can't say these taskers don't do the same... a little notoriety goes a long way).

And what's not constructive about asking a question?
