 		That's what I mean.. Getting down to Chicago was the only way of getting the answer!! Confused Well, I guess that emphasizes the point of having a big colony...

Yes, as far as I can tell, a barbershop quartet called "Human Energy" showed up to play. The web cam was simply to give us the location to go to to hear the answer. Would have been impossible had the TXB guy (lukepicard) not gone down there...


Ah, so it was the name of a band that played at noon there then? Kind of disappointing. The only puzzle to this was what didn't we see when the webcam couldn't keep up with the people trying to watch...

 		I don't believe this counts as a puzzle. It was more of a scavenger hunt kind of thing. I think that's why this isn't referred to as an ARG. The message at ourcolony.net could well have been "Send someone to Chicago before noon..."

 		Well
For future refrence I live in Tacoma, Washington
(Seattle is 40 miles away) if something like this
comes up in my area and I don't seem to be around
email me fateitSPLATgmail.com, that'll go straight
to my pda/phone.

It might be a good idea to make a email chain list or some
such for these kinds of events. Everyone post their
location/email address they don't mind sharing with
the world.

 		I believe some of the previous pictures also had numbers in that kind of pattern but none of them was a valid phone number. Good idea though...

Anyone happen to know how THX found the phone number
that lead to him getting to go to the Xbox 360 unveiling?

 		I had some of the info wrong it seems:

junk22 at TXB forums said:
Quote:
it was not the name of the band... the guy came up from behind a door.. stood on stage for like 1 minute before the band and just said "the answer is human energy" picard then asked him if he could talk or tell him anything else and the guy said "i am not allowed to say anything" and walked off. That is how the answer came to be.

 		Has anyone asked him if the number that called him was the same as the one we called for the reset reality challenge?
