DESCRIPTION:SFZero Roadtrip\n\nFear and Loathing in Reno\n\n\n\nUPDATE: GREYHOUND\n\nOK THE TRIP IS HAPPENING, HERE ARE THE LOGISTICS: GO TO GREYHOUND.COM AND PURCHASE A ROUND TRIP TICKET:\nONE DEPARTING SAN FRANCISCO AT 12:10 PM SATURDAY JUNE 7TH\nONE DEPARTING RENO AT 5:30 AM ON SUNDAY JUNE 8TH. I AM INCLUDING A SCREEN SHOT SO WE CAN BE SURE EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT INFO. CONTACT ME ONCE YOU HAVE PURCHASED YOUR TICKET.\n\n\n\nStrange memories on this nervous night in Reno. Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not in the long run . . . but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant. . . .\n\n\n\nIn a first person narrative Gonzo Journalistic performance, this event calls upon up to 47 SFzero players to embody the subjective and radical experience that Hunter S. Thompson and Oscar Zeta Acosta undergo in early 1971. Gonzo Journalism is concerned with technique more than precision. It is the method actor's wet dream; an embodiment of the subject one is documenting. Slither into character and epitomize this emotional quest to find the American Dream; document thoroughly...\n\nIn an attempt at mimicking Thomspon's novel, we will do two things; metaphorically search for the American Dream by having our way with the loose nickel slots whilst cashing in on bottom barrel house cocktails, while simultaneously searching for the physical American Dream; an old burnt down psychiatrists office. 70scounter-culture garb required. This is a savage journey to the heart of the American Dream through a drug induced haze, A tribute to Hunter S. Thompson and Albert Hoffman that will fancifully recreate Thompson's account of riding out his final days in psychedelic counter-culture. Extra mega bonus points for those who complete the Find Mushrooms and Eat Themtask congruently\n\n\n\nLogistics: There is a gamble bus called Lucky Tours that targets geriatric Filipino women. This bus charges 35 American dollars for 22 hours of dream crumbling, oh-so classy Reno. It leaves from 1028 Mission Street at 10AM on Saturdays and returns to San Francisco at 8AM the next day. If we reserve the entire bus; the price goes down around 10 dollars. I am scheduling the event for June7th to June 8th, however, if there are enough people that cannot do it then and would like to change the date, then the majority rules. If enough people show interest in this task/event, the money will need to be fronted to me no less than one week before May 31st. This is unless people feel more comfortable going down to the Lucky Tours office and purchasing it themselves. Do not worry, I am not a thief and I will not steal your money. If we decide to purchase tickets separately, please send me a message when you have bought yours.\n\nSpecifics:\n\n-Contact Me About Purchasing Tickets For The Bus\n-Dress As A 70s Countercultural Miscreant\n-Play The Part Of A Drug Induced Journalist\n-Don't Get Arrested\n-Find the American Dream (Gamble nickel slots and indulge in libations)\n-Find the Physical American Dream (Ask People If They Know Where It Is)\n-Document Thoroughly\n-Post Praxis to SFZero Road Trip
