Pumapayam Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Urban Dare Link The Houston version is coming in a few week. Urban Dare Houston DetailsUrban Dare Houston is like a 1-day Amazing Race beginning in Montrose. Teams of 2 solve clues to find checkpoints where they must take photos or perform dares in a race to the finish. We encourage you to call friends and use your smart phones to look up clues. You may walk, run or use public transportation to get to move around. Winning team gets a 3-day Royal Caribbean cruise at the end of February, where they will compete for $5000 in the first ever Super Dare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumapayam Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Just a bump, nothing more. Am I the only HAIFer doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Pondering it. I'm a public transportation expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Pondering it. I'm a public transportation expert.It's a five mile course. So it won't be too bad.But you can't use taxi's, bikes, or skate and I can't imagine that relying on a bus on a Saturday is any good. The frequency would kill any lead you have.The MetroRail might be a different case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkultra25 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 1 is the chunk of the Berlin Wall displayed on the Rice campus between the Media Center and the Continuing Studies building (unless it's been moved since I last saw it there).2 I'm wondering if there really is a giant red jack, or if that's just what someone is calling Oldenburg's "Geometric Mouse" iron sculpture that used to be installed in front of the Central Library before it was moved over by the Ideson Building.6 is the statue of Sam Houston in Hermann Park.
