If you live in San Francisco, you may have noticed the conspicuous arrival of 72-inch interactive Led screens at your neighborhood bus stop. And if you have taken the time to play with them, you may also have noticed that the screens allow you to play games against people waiting at other bus stops in the city. It's all part of Yahoo's Bus Stop Derby, a massive marketing campaign for the company's mobile apps.
The Bus Stop Derby, produced in partnership with Clear Channel, began this past November with 20 interactive screens scattered across select city bus stops. Most of the bus stops are downtown, but users can represent their neighborhood by selecting it on the screen and playing jumbo-sized version of Yahoo's mobile games against other bus stop lingerers. Games include Chatter Scatter, Snap Happy, and Sport-a-Pult.
So far, North Beach is winning with 160,750 points, and the Mission is trailing close behind with 143,175 points.

Theatre Han invites you to the New York Premiere of The Bus Stop, the ground-breaking 1983 comedy by Nobel Prize winner Gao Xingjian. Condemned as "spiritual pollution" by Chinese Communist Party officials and banned from production, the controversial play, which recalls Beckett's Waiting for Godot, earned Gao a reputation as an avant-garde writer to watch. Interpreted as an analogy for ineffective Communist government, the play was described by one eminent member of the party as "the most pernicious piece of writing since the foundation of the People's Republic." Translated by Shiao-Ling Yu and directed by Samantha Shechtman, performances run March 26 - April 19 at Sanford Meisner Theater (164 Eleventh Avenue, between 22nd & 23rd Streets)...
