I understand the point of the task, but how can you document w/out electronic devices?

Come back the next day with a camera? Text works.

sounds like it could be a fun task. There should be an exception for a camera. If you spend a night in SF you're bound to see something interesting worth getting on tape.

There's nothing that says you can't use a camera. You just can't use a digital camera. A old skool camera (with no flash) is mechanical and not "electronic". A cheap disposible camera or even an older poloroid sounds like it would do the trick.

I'm guessing this task has been edited since it was first posted as it states:
Electronic devices for documentation ONLY.

I want to do this task but I'm kinda afraid of being on the streets alone in the city after 2am when the beer runs dry and the bums turn into zombies or dead bodies. Maybe a task best done with a partner twice my size...hmmm

and no food for 24hours! O-mi, maybe the lack of food will help me blend in with street urchins.

Strange collaboration?

Maybe this task is best collaborated on with strangers. Anyone?

I would consider doin this one with ya, but it currently is set to 1 player only. perhaps it could be done solo, but in close proximity?

Would that be cheating?

I'd like to think i'm brave enough, but I'm feeling kinda yella (er, um, no offense meant to brave individuals who actually are yellow). A lone woman on the street? Didn't my self-defense classes warn me thats not a good idea? I need safety in numbers. Or bigger cajones... I'll work on it.
