The sixth edition of Journey to the End of the Night returns to the shadowy cityscape of San Francisco this year to launch the 2012 Come Out and Play festival and exhibition. Last year, 1,800 participants helped take over city streets in the name of play, and this year players will once more dash down hidden alleys, encounter mysterious strangers, and unwind amid ephemeral installations at the elaborate end party.
Journey to the End of the Night is a free street game played across cities around the world, spreading from San Francisco to Chicago, Washington, DC, Milan, Berlin, Mexico City, Christchurch, and beyond. Players sporting colored ribbons will race through a series of nonlinear checkpoints scattered throughout the city, while avoiding being caught by chasers. Those who survive will be praised and feted at the end party. Those who fall will become chasers themselves, rising in undeath to pursue their former friends and allies.
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. No bicycles, no skates, no cars, no taxis. You may only travel on foot or by public transportation. Wear comfortable shoes, and bring water. Prizes will be awarded for top finishers and best chasers.
Thought there should be an event here for this, just in case there are any SFZerians who haven't heard about it through other channels.
If you see someone dressed like Jayne Cobb tomorrow, that's probably me, and you should come say hi.
