Was in San Francisco, and we split into teams to play a Go Game (http://www.thegogame.com/) which is a cell phone based scavenger hunt type thing.
My team was four people, and we ran all over Union Square in the rain. But one specific "photo mission" I was incredibly proud of was the "iconic image" mission. To take a universally known image and recreate it using props and costumes and set dressing. We wandered through the lowest level of Macy's where we found a grey Snuggie (out of the packaging), a red loopy scarf, and a table containing former holiday items on sale.
The one item we found there was a black skull candle. Everyone I've told this to starts laughing at this point "Alas, Poor Yorick!" they say, and I say, yes, precisely! And that is what I named our photo - it was me, in the picture, wearing the Snuggie and the scarf over my head, and holding the skull. And my facial expression is such that I look grave and like I am talking to the skull very seriously. We thought it might be too high brow for the image, but it got the best marks for that item!
So, the Go Game - very fun yet weird experience. I enjoyed the interaction with the actors hired to play along with us - Agent Hotpants, Art Critic, and the Pirate, thanks, I enjoyed flirting with, selling to, and ARGH-ing with you!
