Guerilla Haiku San Francisco: Come one, come all!

See you here on April 30th, 2pm!

Greetings, Fellow Adventurers!

Are you ready to begin a movement? 

Armed only with sidewalk chalk, your own vitality and a digital camera; in the company of strangers that are soon-to-be kindred spirits, you will temporarily and eloquently change the face of this city- and thereby the world. 

Join us. 

The plan is as follows: we meet at 2:00pm April 30th, Saturday.  At the Bow and Arrow statue in Rincon Park (the Embarcadero)

http://www.yelp.com/map/rincon-park-san-francisco; dressed for urban adventure 

(in and out of doors so dress accordingly)

You will be randomly split into groups of 5-8.  Bring friends, family, people you run into on the BART that are clearly full of joy.  But recognize that it is essential that you want to play with others (unknown others).  For such is the spirit of the event. 

Each group will be given a scavenger hunt, a map of one San Francisco neighborhood, a bucket of sidewalk chalk and one digital camera. Together you will travel to your 'hood.  Once there, the magic begins.  Inspired by the place and each other, you will create haiku to decorate that place.  Engage as many passers-by as you wish (i am a big proponent of engaging passers-by).  And then document your work with photos. 

We will convene together as a large crew when we are finished (6pm-ish) at Schroeder's German Restaurant at 240 Front Street http://www.schroederssf.com/ for a final Haiku-off and general good cheer.  I will upload photos from each group to the fledgling blog and give each group an opportunity to comment on their awesomeness.  And we will frolic.  As is our nature.

This is the first Guerilla Haiku event on the WEST COAST-  we intend to re-produce them in communities the world over.   Let your favorite people know (forward this liberally), and join us. 

Guerilla Haiku commence!
