Journey To The End Of The Night: San Francisco 2009 by Madhu K

November 2nd, 2009 5:26 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: A Halloween pursuit across San Francisco.

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.No bikes, no cars, just feet and public transportation.

Document your experience.

After showing friends around the city, we gathered at Steurt Plaza for an epic night. We tied our yellow arm bands on and drew paths on the map for all the group members to follow. As we took off from the starting line we immediately lost 2 members of our 6 person group. We ran and ran and got so close to the first checkpoint when we encountered our first chaser! He threatened us and when we did not move he ran after us. Quick, time to find an alternate route! The four of us ran until we lost him and then we took out our map and found a new way to get there. Finally we reached the checkpoint and got our signatures. Off to the second. We were halfway there and had entered a safe zone but there were chasers scattered about. We tried to make a mad dash across the intersection and one of our group members got caught! (We had actually lost another person by this point) my last partner and I tried to save ourselves and ran about another 50 feet when we were ambushed by another handful of chasers and got caught.

It was somewhat disappointing to have been caught. No more goal, nothing to live for. An eternity of dragging people down. But we caught a few people, then one of our group members became ill and it was time to return to the real world.
