Did you ever have that dream where you're racing down the street madly trying to eat up everything in your path, while being chased by monsters who are trying to eat you, but then you deek down fourth street and then back up 6th ave to escape them?

Apparently they're now running a live-action version of Pacman in the streets of Manhattan, with one player dressed up as Pacman and four others dressed up as the ghosts; Washington Square Park is the ghost house. All of the players can use cell phones with GPS capability, and communicate with a "general" who can relate information regarding the state of the board to the players/runners.

I'd pay money for a game called MatosMania where you are Matos, wandering around Boston's North End, looking desparately for a bar that's open past midnight. Your weapons are contempt for the archaic rules governing the city and righteous anger regarding the unavailability of drink.

Yeah, I was about to ask, if Pac man eats an energizer, how does he or she get in touch with the other ghosts letting them know they are now blue and can be "eaten". Does he call all the ghosts really quickly on his cell phone.. is there an umpire that calls each ghosts warning them they are PacBait for the next 5 minutes or so?
