Journey to the End of the Night: San Francisco Halloween 2010 by Robert H

November 1st, 2010 3:31 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: The second annual 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.


If you participated in this Journey in any way (as a player, chaser, or volunteer), document your experience.

My friends and I got to the meeting site about an hour early. Did some stretches and started spotting people with costumes arriving.

Once the horn sounded, it was funny hearing all the car horns going off. It was literally a mad dash. My friends and I decided to go to 1B instead of 1A. Got there in 10 minutes.

We survived the other checkpoints by walking as if we weren't watching out for chasers. Kept our cool and it was funny to see chasers walking past us while they were in lookout mode.

Encountered the Glowing Safety Jellyfish at Duboce Park at 10:58pm. She really had a cute costume, even had the jellyfish movements too. Wished that I had taken a better photo. Night mode on my camera is not to be trusted.

Got to the finish line at 12:23am and there was a costume contest. The Glowing Safety Jellyfish and Superman were the favorites.

The Journey To The End Of The Night is over for me and my friends. The glowstick path was pretty cool.

My only regret is not taking better pictures. All in all, I'm proud to say that "I was there." Can't wait for next year. Thanks for taking the time to glance at my report.
