survival at it's finest

Last night was Journey. And I am in way more pain than I was last year. Oh, but it was so much fun.

Yasha and I ended up as staff chasers, the ones that get the game rolling. Jeremy, from BFTW, was the lead chaser, Sir Lancelot of Charm City. I ended up driving, which turned out to be way easier than I tend to think it is: 29 goes straight through Silver Spring and into DC. We parked in the same hotel garage we did last year. We were a couple minutes late for the chaser meeting, but it didn't really matter. We got our maps and the general instructions for us: no tagging between Dupont and 1, only about 10 between1 and 2, about as many between 2 and 3, and then we're shuffled as needed. Yasha and I were on a team with another guy, Jason, and we had between 2 and 3.

After the meeting, we went to Potbellies and got subs for dinner. When Yasha went to pay for his, though, he realized he managed to forget his wallet. Jason paid for Yasha's sub, which was nice. We went back to the circle after that and got our ribbons, then helped one of the organizers, Chris, grab all the stuff from someone's car, and bring it back to set up. As soon as the table is flipped over and set up, a line forms. We end up walking down the line to intimidate players, and make our way to our post.

We stop by Checkpoints 1 and 2, just to see. 1 is at a bus depot, and has a DMV theme. They made big 'licenses' with holes for faces and you can get your picture taken. Yasha and I had ours done, just because. It was manned by the Good Player Fairy from last year, one of the guys from the 50s training vid, and a woman. We talked for a while, tell them they're supposed to get all 1000+ registrants, then move towards 2. 2 is pirate themed, with inflatable palm tree, kiddie pool, and treasure chest. We report in as 'friendly neighborhood chasers', talk for a bit, and head to where we decide to camp out.

I forgot to mention, but the Marines were back. And there were more. More on that later.

We end up on opposite sides of K, between New Jersey and North Capitol, right near the Greyhound. Apparently, a couple players left early, and 1 was not allowed to stamp people until 8:30. The players were officially released at 7:50. I wish I could provide a more accurate play-by-play, but I was following so many Twitter feeds that I had to delete my inbox twice. We don't get any action until closer to 9, I think. The Marines were moving fast, and we were told to try to get them as fast as possible.

Our team got separated, but we had each other's numbers, so it wasn't a big deal. I quickly found a group and chased them apart, separated another group, and went after others. Unfortunately, because I'm so terribly out of shape I couldn't chase them for long, but it was still fun. We patrolled from 2 to K, and as more player-chasers were made, more people were caught. Yasha chased a couple Marines towards some player-chasers, and 2 got caught.

After that, my timing gets a little messed up. We decided to move to between 4 and 5, but then we got a message from Jeremy to ease off and just intimidate players for a while, to find the lead players instead. We went to 4 anyway, where we met Kevin and a couple other Bros. We walked to 6, doing some chasing along the way. We make it to 6 in time to see the first players finish, 2 guys from Dem Boyz at 10. Yasha goes back out while I rest, and we later decide to go find Jason, who's up near 5.

On our way to 5, we help catch a ridiculously fast guy. Actually, all along 16th where we were walking we were chasing after people. Into traffic, too. There was one guy that we ended up surrounding, there were about 7 of us. He was really fast. He ran up a hill in front of a temple, and as he was coming down, I saw him heading towards me so I planted myself, all ready for him. He banked sharply before he got to me, cut between some newspaper boxes into the street, where Yasha got him. It was pretty sweet.

Bruce from the pillow fight was manning 5, dressed as Waldo, and recording videos of people's stories. Jason was a little up from 5, so we met up with him and decided to ignore the messages about intimidating only and headed to 14th between 4 and 5. We chased some, though I was really tired by then and couldn't do much running anymore. They caught a couple players that were hiding pressed against a wall, who took a little issue with us because they saw the message about not catching.

By then I was exhausted and aching all over. Each step I took shot pain up my legs from the balls of my feet, and I wished I had brought my running shoes. We decided to just head back to the car and leave, partially because of how dead we were and partially because Yasha had to deal with something with Heather. Somehow we made it back to the car and back home. Yasha fell asleep in the car. I got in right around 2.

Over 1150 players made it to 1, 512 through 2, 100 through 3, about 30 through 5. 12 teams were represented at 6. I wish I knew how the Bros did. I'm pretty sure Gabriel made it all the way through again.

Today, almost every muscle in my legs aches so bad I have trouble walking. My neck/shoulders aches too, probably remnants from carrying my bags around on Friday.

Journey to the End of the Night

I'm really not sure what came over me when I decided to do this event, Journey to the End of the Night in DC this past Saturday. Really. It was more of an impulse, considering I'm not a good runner, nor do I have much stamina. But whatevs.

[official website]

The basic premise is a giant combo tag-scavenger hunt adventure. It started at Dupont Circle in DC at 7:30 and players had the next 7 hours to make it through 6 checkpoints without getting caught. They were chased by... chasers... who tag players. Once you've been tagged, you become a chaser. Players wore blue ribbons on their arms, chasers wore orange. Once caught you had to give the chaser your blue and put on your orange [we're given both at check-in].

Yasha and I leave home at about 5, and for some reason his GPS routed us through Silver Spring to get there... Anyway, we officially got there a little after 6. We then proceeded to drive around, attempting to find 24 hour parking that was open on weekends. We spent an hour and a half doing that. We finally found a garage under a hotel that was expensive but open. And then we sprinted to the circle, a few blocks away. Just that tired me out, and we hadn't even started yet!

We found the group easily enough: Yasha's friend Jeremy has bright red hair. We were team Bros For The Win, and we had close to 20 people [2 of them girls: me and Anjali]. Turns out the race starts at 8 because we had to wait for Chicago to get ready - yeah, it happened simultaneously here and in Chicago. So we got Krispy Kreme and a potty break! Whoo!

A little after 8 the race started. We bolted down Connecticut... and ran into our first chaser: a dude holding a sign that said "I AM NOT A CHASER." After a bit of confusion, we figured it out and booked it down the street... and into another chaser. He separated out group a bit, cornered me and Anjali, but didn't tag us. She had tripped, he was concerned, and then Kevin was across the street and distracting him so we could get away. Ninja skills? The Power of Christ? No clue how we got away, really...

Separated, we walked down 18th following the general route our team made earlier. The first checkpoint was the park in front of the White House. We ran into a couple more chasers, ran around some construction to avoid him, and just when we thought we saw another one we entered the safe zone. Horray!

The whole team made it to the first checkpoint, though in 2 groups. Us latecomers got briefly duped into waiting in a line to get our maps signed, but the error was quickly pointed out and we got our maps signed and the group went on. We decided to get the bonus house next, then the second checkpoint.

We started out from there probably a little before 9, all almost-20 of us. The bonus house was on 6th, so we had 10 blocks to go. As a giant group, we were actually pretty successful. We stayed generally together, and between the 5 walkie talkies there was plenty of communication. And with so many team members plenty of scouts. We had a few close calls, but we got to about 8th and I before there were any real problems.

There was a park around there, and we thought we saw orange so we hid on the porch of a church. When we thought it was clear, we moved out towards the park. And all of a sudden about 5 chasers appear and give chase. I implemented my clever plan: run a bit, find a dark place and hide. I hid behind an SUV and next to a tree. It got quiet. I came out, noticed no one around [except uninvolved citizens]. I call Yasha to figure out where they are and it goes straight to voicemail. I freak out a bit. Call back and he answers. I find him and we make our way together.

The rest of the team is almost to the bonus, so we were gonna meet them there. It turns out that the chasers got one of us, Chad. While walking and being paranoid, we find the group we were with the first time we were separated and feel instantly better. It was way creepy walking with just us two. So all 8 of us start towards the bonus.

We stop on a corner to examine our plan of action. Across the street we see a couple chasers, but aren't sure if they see us. Then they do, and we bolt. Down the street a bit. Around a corner. I hide between 2 parked cars, hoping. A kid gets tagged, and they walk past me, seeing me. I get tagged. It's almost 9:30.

I start to call Yasha to tell him, and as I walk I see that he's been caught too. I update my status. Our little group has all been converted. It was fun for a while, I guess, even if I was totally tired.

Then we see some players. And we chase them. And suddenly this game is so much more exciting.

Chasing, chasing, chasing...

We find this one kid. Give chase. He's cornered, he trips and falls in the street. Zach reaches over and tags him. We think, game over, awesome. He gets up, looks at his hand like it's hurt, starts walking. We follow, he walks faster, and suddenly he takes off. Yasha was off chasing another girl, Kevin yells at him to get this guy. He chases him back and forth across the street, but the cheater gets away. Asshole. We stalked him the rest of the night...

We eventually find the bonus house, hearing it has water and lemonade and music. It's pretty cool in there. Anyone can enter the safe zones, but no one can get tagged there. So there's players and chasers in there, chilling. We eventually leave, meet up with the guys who tagged us. We check in with the rest of the team: they made it to checkpoint 3 safely, or at least some of them. Jeremy and another kid got tagged. We decide to go to checkpoint 2, thinking there's still gonna be people coming in.

On the way there, we chase. We find these 2 guys who don't realize we're chasers till we're practically face to face [Yasha was leading with his orange ribbon on his orange shirt]. We chase. One runs off somewhere, but Anjali catches a girl who was with them. We have to wait because she needed her phone from one of the other dudes, and she had no orange ribbon. She eventually gets her phone back, and we swear we won't chase the dude. And then we do. He gets away.

We end up at Union Station and decide to ride the Metro to someplace else because these first couple checkpoints are dead. The Metro is the only other allowed method of transport, and the stations, trains, escalators and elevators are safe zones. We end up riding it to U St, which is between checkpoints 4 and 5. By now it's close to midnight.

We start walking to 5, but see very few players, or even chasers. We eventually see a couple chasers, but by this point nearly everyone has been converted.

Oh, I forgot to mention: the first team won at about 9:40, right after we were tagged. It was Fireteam Camelot, a group of Marines. Now, that is just not fair. People were using the Twitter to send messages to the other players, and I got a text at 8:59 to say they were at checkpoint 4. Really. Not fair.

Anyway... We get kinda close then meet a couple of staff chasers, people who had signed up to be chasers right from the start. They were heading to checkpoint 6 and the party. They told us that so few players are left it might just be better to go to the party. So we do.

We get there around 12:30. 2 of our teammates were already there, one of them still a player! So we got on the board as 5th or 6th, which is not bad. The other player, Josh, told us a tale of woe. At the start of the race we had all decided we weren't going to sell each other out, we weren't going to tag our team. Turns out that one kid did.

Checkpoint 6, the party, was an Italian restaurant near the gay clubs. So we sit down at a table and order some food. It rains a bit, and other team members show up. Jeremy gets there with no shirt on, which I found a bit weird. And one of the walkie talkies got dropped and picked up by someone... which is a bad thing, because Jeremy borrowed them from UB's Student Events Board. Then 2 members run up, still players! Incredible!

I think it was between 1 and 1:30 that the megaphone started being passed around for story sharing. We heard from that first "I AM NOT A CHASER" chaser, and then Yasha told of the asshole who got away. He also stated that our team probably had the most variety in almost-got-run-overs: several cars, a motorcycle, a tourist bus, a cop car...

Our team won something! We got Best Chasers because between the 15 or so of us that got converted we collected 34 ribbons. I didn't get any, but oh well.

Yasha and I left close to 2. As we were walking from Dupont Circle back to the car, we ran into a not-sober [though what he was on I'm not sure] gay guy... who started hit on Yasha. He opened with, "Is that your wife?" indicating me. So for a few minutes I was his girlfriend. It was... kinda funny, actually. We have to keep walking straight when the guy turns down the street we needed, but we make it back to the car with no further problems.

We drive to Yasha's uncle Boris's in Gaithersburg to sleep. We get there at 2:45 and end up sharing the futon. I'm not sure how much I actually slept, and I don't really know why either. But when we get up at 11 HOLY SHIT do my legs hurt. We eat breakfast and leave a little after 12. I get home at 1, have some time to rest and pack and eat, and am back on the road at 2 to get back to Richmond for my last finals.

And right now, as I type this, I have no regrets. The only sad part is how ridiculously out of shape I am. And how badly my legs hurt yesterday. They don't hurt as much now, just mainly sore and stiff, but it's not fun. Stupid bunk bed... I never really realized how much I walk until I got back to campus and had to walk to and from Bowe Street and Shafer and just... everywhere. I make old man noises when I stand up...

Anyway, I am SO doing that again next year. Yasha and I already started making plans. We're not sure if we're gonna sign up as chasers or players though. Oh well, we'll get to it when we get to it.

I would put up the 2 pics I have if I had the energy to stand up and hobble over to wherever my camera is... Maybe later...

EDIT from an email:
"Congratulations to Fireteam Camelot, the winningest team in the history of Journey to the End of the Night! These three marines made it through the course in a blazing hour and a half, taking first, second and third individual, and first surviving team. They were great sports, and you might see them as staff chasers next year... 550 people signed up on survivedc.com this year; 650 people showed up at Dupont Circle. Only 85 survived to the end. Congratulations to everyone who survived the most brutal Journey so far, and to everyone who played!"
