When I met with Ariock and hmrpita last week, they said the best way thing to tell someone you want to use that payphone is "it's for a scavenger hunt". Apparently people tend to be more reluctant about lending you the payphone, and tend to want to help.

Or, do like me, and when someone starts to walk up, say "These phones don't work."

It's amazing how well that works, lol.

I answered a phone in my college's bookstore today. It was right next to the line where you sell your old books back and there were a ton of girls waiting in line. They all looked at me and my friend as if we were the biggest freaks in the world. I got it though. You should have seen the looks on their faces when I answered a ringing payphone after hanging around there for 15 minutes.

A much belated nod to Derek B, who got the Carousel axon on the DC Mall the very first week....

We had a great time in Berkeley today, with only a few hiccups. The first phone of the morning didn't ring (though it rang later in the day and we enhottenated it). Another phone was located in the library, which was closed. It'll be open in time to get the phone tomorrow though. And there was another phone that didn't ring.

All the foibles were made up for by the last calls of the day. There were new coordinates listed for us that didn't match up with any that we had previously gotten, but they were in the same area as 2 other sets of coords we had recieved, and there were lots of payphones in the vicinity. We weren't really sure what to expect, as there were 2 calls listed coming to this set of coordinates, and the second call was only 2 minutes after the first.

On our walk down to the corner of Telegraph and Channing, our roving band of beekeepers became larger as MissSphinx spotted us and joined in. We had reached the critical size where we could have a person monitoring each phone in the area and one person standing on the corner of the intersection, ready to wave us all to the phone that rang. Suddenly we were all waved over to a pair of phones that we had already answered earlier in the day. This phone had apparently been assigned another set of coordinates, and Melissa had called it herself.

While we were talking to Melissa, the other phone rang, and it was a recording. Lt. Adam picked it up and was listening to it, when Melissa decided she wanted to talk to him, and wasn't taking "he's on the other line" for an answer.

It was a lot of fun, since we had been hoping all day for a live call, and we had no clue what was going on with the last 2 calls. It was a great end to the day's adventure.

There's a part of UCI called "Middle Earth Housing". Essentually, groups of dorms.

Terribly amusing to walk past "Helm's Deep RESCOMP" (With mailboxes for Hobbiton, Murkwood, Lorian, Rivendell, Shire, and more!)

My second phone of the day was at the "Brandywine Commons Student Center"...

So I took off my shoes.
