Tasks / 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.

Kelly: We totally did a seven person knot at the 16th mission bart station. See Rubin's pictures. Rubin: There were no pictures taken, but there is a video!
We tried multiple attempts and some of them with strangers at a celebration after a parade. We couldn't undo the knot some of the times but the last time we tried it came out all nice and one big circle.
We were just sitting at the university and suddenly we had a great idea: DO THE HUMAN KNOT! See the video here. We just invited all people around us at that moment and started. The first time we had 7 players. But we found out that 7 players...
After a Jason Webley show in Oakland we recruited music fans to join us in a human entanglement. Version 1.0 was a success due to its acceptable amount of people. After 1.0 Jason Webley came out w/entourage and we recuited them as well. Version 1....
