Mission Stencil Story




what a cute little concept haha... randomly ran into this. copy/pasted the description from the site (http://www.flickr.com/photos/9793231@N05/sets/72157600706628117/)
i want to go follow all four of the stories lol. I guess i'll add that to my list of things to do when i go to SF again, if it's still there...


"The mission stencil story is an interactive, choose-your-own-adventure story that takes place on the sidewalks of the Mission district in San Francisco. It is told in a new medium of storytelling that uses spraypainted stencils connected to each other by arrows. The streetscape is used as sort of an illustration to accompany each piece of text.
Its a love story with 2 characters who start in different locations. His story starts at 16th and Valencia, in front of the Crown Hotel / Limon Restaurant with the text "He Leaves his Lonely Apartment." Her story starts at 21st and Guerrero in front of a stunning mansion with the text, "She Leaves her Lonely Apartment." Eventually their paths merge, at the point where they meet, and their paths travel together until drama pulls them apart.

There are two possible endings, happy and tragic, and two other points where the story can end unexpectedly if the viewer chooses the wrong ending. All in all, there are 4 possible endings."
it just makes you want to go "awww" "awwww" and "awwww" in 3 different ways lol. sorry, can't really convey tones and stuff very well over the internet :P
