…but, at the moment, as you may have noticed, it is dead (at least on the web). I still dream of how this project can live again and in what form it would be more useful and sustainable. If you have any ideas please leave a comment or send us an email. Thanks for your interest!

CAPTURE THE FLAG and other street games…
Grandview Park, Sat. January 30th @ 2pm
Capture the Flag has been going pretty well. There has been from about six to ten people showing up when the weather has been good. The last couple times have been pretty wet so people haven’t been showing unfortunately. Hopefully, the weather will get nicer and it will continue to grow so we can expand the territory and variety of games as well as meet more good people!
Capture the Flag is a team-based game popularized by the Boy Scouts of America as a way to prepare boys for conscription during the World Wars. Urban Capture the Flag (UCTF) is a 21st Century detournement of this practice, primarily organized by anarchists in North America as a way to build community, reclaim the streets and public space, develop insurrectionary and protest tactics for affinity groups, produce a counter-spectacle for passers-by, and build group morale through risking together.
