It began one evening in the Embarcadero with hundreds of people dressed in costume, some as the Mona Lisa, some as The Doctor, and others and comic book characters and fisherman. I myself was Death from Neil Gaiman's Sandman. I was initially part of a group of six, we had drawn out a route (all on foot) and distributed the maps so that all would have them and we could meet up at some point. Once the race began however we quickly scattered. My sister and I sprinted together from the starting line and made it to the first checkpoint with little trouble (minus the costume pieces that broke in the chaos that was running from the chasers) and much sweaty makeup. We quickly cooled down walking and buying some water from a gas station that hadn't been infiltrated.

We made our way to the second checkpoint with again little trouble and in around fifteen minutes, we stood in line waiting for the signitures and talked it up with the other players, we were offered a chacne to join team Zombieland, an offer my sister and I later regretted not taking up. After this checkpoint we reunited with my father who had become a chaser and he became a member of our team, 'Decoy Dad'. We were sadly ambushed midway to the third checkpoint by some chasers that lay in wait on 7th street.

Now that we had become chasers we decided to plan an ambush on 10th and Folsom for all those who would be at he fourth checkpoint, and this plan actually did get our team one yellow ribbon but there were casualties. As I ran after a player into the rode I slipped and came down hard on my side, scraping and bruising my right side.

After I lay in pain on the street we sook shelter at the Lone Star Bear bar and waited for Shawn(?) to give us a lift to Walgreens so I could bandage my wounds and go ahead to Noisebridge, which I ended up knowing because a friend of mine's girlfriend is a member.

All in all Journey to the End of the Night was AMAZING and I hope there's another event organized soon because I can name at least ten people off the top of my head who would be interested in a heart beat to do it.

Over and out.
