Tasks / Journey To The End Of The Night: San Francisco 2009
A 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.No bikes, no cars, just feet and public transportation.
Document your experience.

Checkpoint 3. A checkpoint of danger, decisions, and a dilemma. The way I hear it, the idea originally came from Loki. When that idea is amplified by anna one and Spidere, dangerous things are bound to happen. We were told that for Halloween, we...
Witness some 200+ people on the Embarcadero. (It was more than 500+!) Wooo! All sorts of costumes, some certainly not for the running in. Enter we, 2 cats set to prowl. I (Ombwah) and Bun Bun Meow, appropriately attired began our Journey on the BA...
My evening started late as I scrambled to turn a briefcase into a backpack using only climbing rope and a carabiner. Success finally and I jumped on my bike to race down to Justin Herman Plaza, where a small group of eager players was already formin...
I am shamefully bad at doing write ups. Hence it has taken me nigh on a month to put this one together. To be fair until fairly recently I had not had extended access to a computer, and until 4 days ago, I did not have access to mine which has made i...
Best. Halloween. Ever. One of the most striking effects of this game was the sudden re-ordering of priorities. Personal safety and laws about personal behaviour, particularly traffic laws, became less important, even irrelevant. The concept of priv...
(absolutely no details are given to the locations of occurrences during this pursuit, due largely to the utter lack of spatial orientation on part of the author) PRELUDE This would be my first foray into Journey To The End Of The Night in San Franci...
I'd heard of previous Journeys but at the time they didn't compel me. Now it's maybe a different era in my life. I feel like I've done enough standing-around-and-drinking for a lifetime; the opportunity to do anything else is a treasure. My bike e...
Since I found out about sf0 at this event, the proof is minimal, but it is there. Before I get into it, I want to thank all of my fellow players, especially disembowelled Santa for the doughnuts at the bus stop, and our friend Athena, who protected ...
Call me D. I came from work with 7 souls, Jesus, and some snacks in a bag. Arrived, courtesy of Muni, half an hour late. They were out of waivers, but I had waited too long for this night to give up so easily. Luckily, in my pocket I had one of t...
So, Journey to the End of the Night can only described as pure beauty. I will divide this beauty into sections, in order for the readers to better understand it. Before the game: We were all meeting at people's houses and slowly inched towards the ...
My contribution was to not participate, but subtergate. I sat watching runners and chasers at one check point and would occasionally leave the safe area and acting cagey. Making both teams inspect me for arm bands and then wandering away.
