I just want to say something: NOBODY CARES ABOUT QR CODES Yeah, I can go to tripl.com or whatever, also add your twitter/fb/G+ page otherwise you'll just look like some bozo stuck in Web 1.0 (contact by phone?!)
Do you not have a smartphone? They're a very common way to install apps. Heck, I sometimes scan QR codes right off my monitor.

#24The joke is pretty good but it's unfortunate that the startup (Tripl - discover the world through your friends beautiful travel stories) has nothing to do with the ticket. Seems like it would work better for AngelList or some other company.

#26Interesting idea, and I hope it works out for you! Sadly, it's almost certainly against municipal code. All it takes is one jerk to make a smart street team effort go bad by complaining to the police or mayor.

#28This is the next Obama-Os. It might be unappreciated by some, but you definitely just got looked at by some investors.

#29It's a funny, well-executed idea, but issuing official-looking city documents with "City of Mountain View" as the header and all of your identifying information is a great way to get written up by the police department.
I would seriously caution people against making it a close copy (particularly of money) of an official document. Depending on the situation, there are state and federal statues backing up the local ones. // sorry to be a killjoy
This is just innovative guerrilla marketing.

#30[Update] Ha! Apparently it's tripl.com and not tript.com. If you checkout his site at tript.com it's either poorly designed or people are already spamming his site under the 'Latest Travel Advice' section.
Huge difference in UI!
