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 your city- and thereby the world. The plan is as follows: we meet at a given time in a given location. dressed for urban adventure (in and out of doors so dress accordingly)
You will be randomly split into g
roups of 5-8. Bring friends, family, people you run into on the way 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 and a map to a neighborhood in their town, a bucket of sidewalk chalk and one digital camera. Together you will travel to your home base. 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 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. Guerilla Haiku commence!
