The Assassin

SFGate.com: For an attempted assassination, there sure was a lot of giggling going on.
“I’m going to feel pretty good about shooting someone, if I don’t die first,” said would-be assassin Nicole Califano, who was drinking a beer, which was not helping to steady her trigger finger any.
Califano is one of 130 contestants armed with water pistols who are stalking each other this month throughout San Francisco, waiting to ambush and squirt total strangers.
It’s called Street Wars, and its creator bills it as a “water gun assassination tournament.” It was a big hit last year in New York and Vancouver, British Columbia, where many people have even odder ideas about pastimes than they do here.
“Think you’ve got what it takes to be an assassin?” says the game’s Web site.
The idea is to squirt your assigned victim before you get squirted by the player who has been assigned to squirt you. Entering the game costs $35. Whoever gets squirted is out of the game, and the last person left dry gets $500.
