Journey to the End of the Night - May Day 2010 by Anthrid

May 2nd, 2010 10:05 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: May Day 2010: Minneapolis and Chicago

The city spreads out before you. Rushing from point to point, lit by the slow strobe of fluorescent buses and dark streets. Stumbling into situations for a stranger's signature. Fleeing unknown pursuers, breathing hard, admiring the landscape and the multitude of worlds hidden in it.

For one night, drop your relations, your work and leisure activities, and all your usual motives for movement and action, and let yourself be drawn by the attractions of the chase and the encounters you find there.

If you participated in this two-city simultaneous Journey in any way (as a player, chaser, or volunteer), please post your story here. Tell us your story of fear, lust, pain, speed, alienation, loneliness, hate, and desire.

This was my first year playing, so I decided to Twitter our group status so our friends at home could keep an eye on us. We had a great time!

Off to Journey to the End of the Night! Woohoo!
On the train with Andy, Angie, Ian, and Knut. Nervous.
At the intro. Tandem chaser bike sighted!
At checkpoint one. All parties still alive.
Angie, me, leith, knut dead by a nice fast guy named tom
Andy and Ian still alive!
Listening to Andy and Ian strategize. Surely virtual death awaits us all :)
Andy dead at station 3. Ian still alive.
3 kills so far.
One per boy.
Katy makes a kill! Annoyed pimply teen
Checkpoint 4. Make up a word: aintie- the woman shacked up with your uncle
Andy chased down a guy who wasn't playing!
On route to final checkpoint. Hoping for beer soon
We're at the end! Ian survived! His secret: alleys and running his ass off.
