ah
19th MARCH
12h-13h GMT
http://www.abbeyroad.co.uk/virtual_visit/webcam/
ASK FOR DINAH
[spec]I say, March 19th at 12h-13h GMT we go to that site, and something will happen
Also, from what I'm seeing it looks like it's in europe, most likely england from my view
A quick google image search turns up This
Which, if you look at the road has the same markings, But It also may be how the roads work there (I'm american)
And lastly, It looks like the Beetles had an album or something called Abbey Road

definitely OOG. It's a real place and a real studio with genuine credentials.

For those who don't know, The Beatles made an album at the famous studios on Abbey Road (London) and called it Abbey Road . The cover image shows the band crossing the zebra crossing (that's what those funny markings are - it's just a type of pedestrian crossing in the UK) and has been massively parodied by all and sundry as it's a pretty well-known image.
Whether this has anything to do with the clue or not isn't all that clear right now....

Haven't seen anyone spell it out yet, but please be clear -- NYC time is GMT-5 hours. So 12h - 13h GMT is 7am - 8am NYC local time.

Uh... why do we need the time of an event happening in London converted to New York time?

I would have thought to just let the fellow Cube searchers know exactly when they need to be online for the latest information.

See, the thing is, we're not all from New York.

Because there is a webcam of that area, we'd like to know when to watch, since we can't go there ourselves.

BUT it should still remind those that aren't in the GMT zone to there local Time Zone which ever that my be... If they hadn't relized they need to yet... I was thinking 12-1 eastern standard time because that was the time the NY thing happened, and i was thinking same time diffrent day...

Well, just to close this off, because I'm dimwitted and transposed the Alice location with this one...

I'm sure we'd ALL like to watch on the webcam, no matter where in the world we are from. Everyone please remember to convert the time from GMT to your local time (it's as simple as adding your timezone offset to the time posted) or you may be dissapointed when you find out that you missed it.

it's not an update but the link to the video now says 2.8 MB not 2.8 GB ... it would be pretty bad if the video had jumped to gigs in size...
