For the past couple of months I’ve been playing a new Alternative Reality Game. Becase it starts with your induction into a small 70′s throwback cult called The Jejune Institute, that’s what most folks know the ARG as, but since the Jejunists haven’t played a very heavy roll in the game past that induction, it doesn’t seem a very fitting title.

The game is physically based in San Francisco, playing within several neighborhoods including important elements that occur in the Financial District, ChinaTown, North Beach, and most heavily recently, the Mission.

Last week I danced with Bigfoot and a red sweatsuited hip-hop guy in the rain on 24th Street near Mission. This in order to receive a visual transcript of a radio piece that would allow us to finish off some specific tasks. Pretty damned amazing.

You can get the visuals and the flavor of last week’s Mission mission at http://www.ornitopterjumsuit.com and see Bryce and I “physically jamming” the negative energies emenating from the Jejune Institute.

If you want to get started on your own, go to http://www.jejuneinstitute.com to plan your visit to their facilities. The induction itself takes less than half an hour, but plan for a good 2 hours of fun treasure hunting after that.

More as things occur.

For those of you keeping score, I had taken down most of this blog many months back, and with the exception of a few pictures have not been adding a whole lot of new content.

I’ve gone back and re-published the majority of the site, replacing most of your favorite posts, I’m sure. Posts dealing with personal and medical issues or with my former job and employer remain unpublished, however, and will stay in the shadows for the simple reason that I wish to keep those things private.

I don’t know yet what I’m going to do with this blog… whether I’ll be posting frequently or at all, but I liked the older stuff I had done enough that I decided to make it available again.
