Note: The scavenger hunt is over (a concluding post will come soon) and we got second place out over 300 teams! This is a series explaining the background and thinking of our missions of the SF Street Food Scavenger Hunt<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Mission: Do a rap at the creme brulee cart.<\/p>\n

I procrastinated on this one. It was easy enough to come up with the lyrics, but then when said out loud…it just sounded off in my own voice. I studied rap videos…could I do something equivalent? On consulting Chris, he said that my rhythm wasn’t working.<\/p>\n

At first, I thought I could do something along the lines of Tai Mai Shu<\/a> in ode to the spirit of our team name, Deep Fried Twinkie. A rap that my sister and I perfected in memorizing when we were teenagers. But it seemed insulting and there was no way I going to stoop down to insult a gender or any race.<\/p>\n

Then I consulted my sister who provided a quick rap…easily rolling out over im.<\/p>\n

I thought I was prepared and we headed to the creme brulee cart\u00e2\u20ac\u201dlocated only two blocks from my apartment. I rehearsed all the way there, but on arrival, I spotted another team and…stalled for time. Everyone was watching me and I froze. I couldn’t perform. Chris noticed my anxiety and said, “Do you want me to do it first? To make you feel better?”<\/p>\n

I nodded and recorded him doing something silly. Shouting random words. All around playing to the crowd around him, who laughed in delight. I wished I could do the same. Instead, I ended up with some lame lines.<\/p>\n

It was dark and there wasn’t much we could do. The battery on the camera died, providing an excuse for ending the shoot early.<\/p>\n

A few days later, I suddenly got the courage again and rewrote the lyrics. Today is the day!<\/i> I thought as I studied the creme brulee cart twitter. He was going to be the bike-in movie night. It was our last chance. In the style of Lazy Sunday<\/a>, we yelled into the camera. I freaked out again, but because Chris was with me…it worked better.<\/p>\n

Two days later, I added soundtrack…dubbed the lines…recorded extra scenes.<\/p>\n

Now I present the resulting video…the last item that we submitted to the scavenger hunt.<\/p>\n
