2. Pick an individual you notice
3. Write a haiku about them or for them on a sticky note
4. Stick it to their car/dog/shopping cart
5. Maintain invisibilty throughout this task

Comic-Book Journal Entry

All of us have stories to tell - however mundane, SOMETHING happens in your everyday life that must be worth some documentation, right? Instead of the traditional journal entry, draw a page, comic book style, telling your days events - whether it be a specific incident at school or work, or a brief summary of your entire day.

Human Knot

Play a game of human knot with at least some strangers or other players you have not met in the Real World, in a pulic place. Human Knot is a game where you stand in a circle with a group of people, close your eyes, reach out your hands and grab someone's hand. You should be holding hands with two different people. Then you try to untangle yourselves into a circle without unlinking hands, by stepping over and under other arms. You should have at least 7 people in your group, the more you have the more fun, but also more complicated it gets. You may end up with multiple circles.

Document some stage of the tangled knot. You may need someone's help with this as your hands will be occupied.

The Aesthetics Of Minutiae

All those paintings of women, in art galleries, surprised at private moments. Nymph Sleeping. Susanna and the Elders. Woman Bathing, one foot in a tin tub -- Renoir, or was it Degas? Both, both women plump. Diana and her maidens, a moment before they catch the hunter's prying eyes. Never any paintings called Man Washing Socks in Sink.

--Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

Hunt For Rivera

We are lucky in San Francisco to have 3/4 murals created by Diego Rivera on the West Coast. Your Mission should you choose to accept it is to locate and document each of these murals. As his Murals can be quite large perhaps a specific panel/section should be used for documentation. Proofs should include which Mural you like most and why it speaks to you. Look and analyze the meaning of the work and how its meaning could be interpreted today...

Think of this task as a treasure hunt as his murals are treasures...

1. Near the "Ocean" and in his theatre...Rivera created this mural because he was amazed at the idea of a place that would offer an education to just about anyone.
2. Chestnuts roasting by an open fire...El Fresco en el Fresco...Diego documents the building of a city
3. Capitalism Capital of the west and financial center of the bay...Represents the women CA is named after..

Bonus points should be awarded for finding the fourth mural, but should be given out only for Stern Players.
