Go to the intersection of Fulton & Stanyan in San Francisco and press play. ​

Golden Gate Park


​One of the best parts of living in San Francisco in 2010 was the weirdness you could find and experience. It was all around us and all you had to do was be willing to bridge the gap between fantasy and reality. Looking back, it is hard to tell how I stumbled upon this “audio tour”, but it made for the perfect weird San Francisco experience. Rather than recount the date itself, I will leave you with the artist’s own description (and where you can download the audio), and a few other people's reflections of the experience. If you consider…

if you consider… an ambient audio adventure through golden gate park​

This musical audio tour will guide you through the eastern edge of Golden Gate Park while you hear the stories, encounter the creatures and discover the mysteries that haunt our fair Victorian pleasure garden. To take the tour just stop by 2332 Fulton at Stanyan anytime between 12pm and 5pm on Sunday March 10th. Bring two hours to spare, an exploratory mood, a discman/walkman/mp3 player if you have one (not required, we have tons you can borrow), and a appetite for tea and biscuits!

There are so many austere monuments in the park that the small, special, secret memorials hidden between the folds of its hills can be overwhelmed. Where is the feral cat colony? What is in those large green boxes? Who stole the stones from the spanish monastery? Who really assembles here at night? Can I eat that? Why do I feel so unusual? Why did that branch fall? Who is behind me?  What is that in the bushes? How did you know that? Are coincidences merely chance events? Or is it somehow all connected? Will I ever make it home? And will my home even be there to return to?
