This was my first Journey, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. I managed to gather a group of friends, and we spent the 40 minutes or so before the game started pouring over our illegible maps, strategizing our routes. We quickly learned that once the game is afoot, all previously laid out strategies go out the window! It's like an action movie, a zombie apocalypse, and a really fun way to totally freak out the people walking out of Whole Foods.
We were caught pretty early on, but luckily, being a chaser is fun too. We stopped in a bar in Potrero for a beer, and discovered that pretty much every person in the bar was also a chaser! We had a blast in the bar, and later on Bernal Hill, swapping stories with other people, discussing strategies for next year. Such a great way to get to know the city, to get to know strangers, to discover what kind of assholes your friends might be during a real zombie apocalypse.
And how often do we get a chance to run at full speed, screaming like a maniac in broad daylight? It was cathartic and stimulating and the most fun I've had on a Saturday night while sober in a sketchy neighborhood with strangers and friends in a very long time.
