Journey To The End Of The Night Manhattan by qwerty uiop

INSTRUCTIONS: A pursuit across Manhattan in 5 parts.

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.

I orchestrated the event (with Ian & Sean) from the starting and ending points. There were some minor snags, like getting kicked off the steps of the Federal Building by the Police (it's a sensitive area, or something), but all in all it went great. The winner, Brian, completed the night break-neck speed style, finishing in about 1.5 hours. Here are some pics taken at the ending point. More to follow!

please note the homemade trophy the winner received. it is made from garbage found on the street nailed to other garbage found on the street.
