Well, here's my reading of the envelope. Nothing radically different. I think it says "dying" not "lying", along with a couple of other minor differences.

A couple of other notes:
One definition of an antipode is the point on the opposite side of the earth from a given point. I don't think that's what Charles is talking about in his notes, but just in case, I did a quick check of the anitpode of the University of WA campus.
If the 1st point is the U of WA Sylvan theater, that's at about
47.65N by 122.31W
So the antipode would be:
47.65S by 57.69E
Which is somewhere in the Indian Ocean, SW of South Africa.

I got the coordinates of the Physics building at UWA from here:
www.sundials.org/conference/1998/1998conf.pdf
I'm assuming that anything on campus will be close enough.

Here's a link with info about calculating antipodes:
http://geography.about.com/library/faq/blqzantipode.htm

I think this probably rules out this definition of anitpode. Instead, it seems to mean "counter spell" here.

I'm pretty sure the antipode relates to the reverse spell, based on other text. and I suspect the sntipode will involve us all having to break the clay pieces Kevin is sending out at the moment, taking a picture and posting it...but could very well be wrong.

I am a Wakeful Agent in Seattle who has been offline for a couple weeks (was active during the first few days then got busy at work). I am not above sorting through trash heaps. Looking through the posts to figure out what I need to do...

There's a photo on the blog of a trashcan near the Sylvan Theater at the U of Washington. The bottom of the can is circled, so I would guess there's something taped to the bottom. Let us know if you find anything.

So I went to the Sylvan theatre. It is an extremely calm glade on the UW campus. The pictures I saw online don't do it justice. There was a guy doing Tai Chi on the grass, to complete the picture. The trash can in question is at the north end of the glade, and unsurprisingly there was a zip-lock bag underneath the trash can. It contained two pages, one StudioCypher postcard, and several handwritten post-it notes.

The postcard reads:

Well done krispy2.

I am guessing that the postcard may give us a code to type into the emergency page because of the ATG TAG.

Some progress...spoiled for your pleasure...
