SFist: Choose Your Own Mission Adventure

Very simple. It starts at two locations (as the Flickr link tells you): the girl's story 21st and Guererro in front of the nice, big house on the corner and heads North along the left side of the street (as you're going North), the boy's story starts at 16th and Valencia in front of Limon. Both stories meet up in front of Tartine although it's rather hard to notice when you're coming from the South on the girl's path and it's a Saturday with people standing out front... my girlfriend and I missed it when we went on it last Saturday. It's technically a choose-your-own-adventure, but there are really only two choices to be made. Initially there's a choice that ends the story abruptly and very soon into it. After you meet up some drama pulls the two stories apart and there is a second choice where it either ends almost immediately (and tragically) or, if you take the other choice, you get to backtrack a bit, remember an address from earlier, and get a nice happy ending with a great view. It was fun for a walk around the Mission, but not much else. I think New York Magazine had it right when they said it'll be redone in Brooklyn within a week and to advertise a lame romantic comedy within the year. Now... someone go out there and make a better one with more actual choices to it!

guest: aww come on don't be such a party pooper, the spray paint on the sidewalks eventually fades. Does anyone remember the Monkey Knife Fight stencils?

Hey Rita... I read somewhere that this was a "guerilla ad" campaign by the restaurant Limon. You're supposed to start at 21st and Guererro and work your way to the restaurant.
