Journey to the End of the Night: San Francisco Halloween 2011 by anna one, Loki
November 27th, 2011 2:45 AM / Location: 37.793427,-122.4072
After watching a runner nearly get creamed by a cab in Mexico City, anna one saw a nifty project happening in New Orleans that gave her an idea for a checkpoint which would remind players that if you die in the chase, you die in real life.
Players were instructed to complete the phrase, "If I die tonight..." on a slip of paper and then to attach it to the chain-link fence at the checkpoint. In the crush, not all runners participated, but here's a categorized round up of the 773 slips Loki & anna one pulled off the fence at midnight.
Reading and sorting these proved to be more entertaining than we expected. In the end, we settled on 41 broad categories, with a surprising number of repeated entries. Here's the full list.
