for someone's art project:
"I left San Francisco on August 17, 2003, six months after I reached my target age to leave. I left from Ocean Beach, with a bottle of vodka, a bottle of sleeping pills, and a kickboard. I took a photo of myself and left the camera on the sand. I am probably residing in Tucson, Arizona now."

(NB: The art project was a short film for which the artist wanted people talking about their departure from San Francisco as the audio. She asked people to call her answering machine and leave a message telling about their departure.)
