I know its short notice but who wants to go on a scavenger hunt? The DC Area Cacophany Society is setting one up on the 20th (Saturday). I'll be bringing some friends but the more the merrier. Let me know if you're interested and we can meet for lunch before the event.
Official Info:
It is time to bring Chaos and Anarchy back to the nations capitol.
When: April 20th
2 pm to 10 pm
Where: Downtown Washington DC
For the past year a select group of secret and elite
operatives have been developing a list of approximately 300 items and
missions for a city wide scavenger hunt. The basic idea is as
follows.
First, form teams of 4 to 6 people. Team captains will meet
at a bar at 1:30 for an orientation to discuss rules, regulations,
and the spirit of the hunt. At 1:45 lists will be distributed. The
hunt will begin at 2 pm and all teams must report to the finish by 10
pm. Each item or mission has a certain amount of points associated
with it. The object is to score the most points, not collect the
most items. The list consists of everyday items as well as things
not even the judges know how a team will get, but some of the items
that can be published here include...
Proof of all team members on the Key, Memorial, Roosevelt,
and Wilson bridges, with a bonus for all four.
An airline ticket stub for a flight leaving the DC area on
the date of the hunt
A receipt for a drink for each team member (4 team members =
4 drinks) from each distinct bar from the date of the hunt
Best walk out dealer price for a Mercedes Benz E320
A threaded string of fruit loops three feet long.
Picture of two team members in a confessional "making out"
1 enlistment form for any US Armed forces branch or reserve,
completed and signed by a team member
Proof that a college diploma from a 4-year accredited
university has (or does not have) the absorbing power of a paper
towel.
Many of the missions require proof, thus a camera is probably
required and a video camera is highly encouraged. Video cameras can
be rented for a small fee ($50 bucks or so) from several local camera
shops. Each team will be required to provide an entrance fee of 5 to
10 dollars per team member, with the money going to a cash prize for
first through third place. The hunt has been designed such that the
likelihood of winning is not dependant on how many team members you
have. A car or other personal transportation is also not necessary
for the hunt. Teams are highly encouraged to come up with a team
name or theme, and points will probably be awarded for the most
creative team costumes. The judges reserve the right to use a small
portion of the entrance fees (50 bucks or so) to rent out a bar for
the finish line of the hunt and eminent party.
Be clear that with over 300 items on the list no team is
expected to obtain all the items or complete all the missions. There
is something for everybody on the list, whether you just want to sit
in a bar and drink for 8 hours, run naked through the national mall,
or give cheeseburgers to homeless people. This is your chance.
Please respond to Lindsay Miller (millerrl@n...)
as soon as possible (but no later than April 13th) with your team
name and members, or to ask questions. If you want to participate
but can't find a team, please respond and perhaps we can hook you up
with some fun loving strangers. Further details about the hunt will
be distributed to team captains as necessary.
Disseminate this e-mail as widely as possible. The more
teams, the bigger the party and chaos and anarchy.
Let the hunt begin.
