 		FTR, the whois on the ethan site has changed a few times in about 24 hours so buyer beware....but the slusho lead (BREATHES HUUUUGE SIGH OF RELIEF FINALLY) is not likely gonna be in any way related to EH.

As for the slusho, nightowl, I believe it was, brought this up before several pages ago but he went off on a Roswell tangent and lost me. But we have a fictional drink (thanks for clearing that up), and an outstanding catch that the "let's go to the roof" guy is wearing a slusho t shirt. It was made for movie, they don't produce those far as I know if it's not real to begin with.

And this trailer preview coming out seems more of a "okay you win, here ya go" surrender - or at least an official version. Slusho guy is the one feeding Rob the drink in Pic 2.

Not entirely sure where I was going, this feels more like purging....

How far is Herndon from Alexandria, now that we've got two virginia locations for the WHOIS info addresses? And for anybody that knows Japanese, are those names actual names or are they dead people of historical value to that culture like Pike is here! And what might the names translate to? (Never know, can't hurt to look)

 		The "you can't drink just six" thing is so oft repeated that I'm sure it's important.

Excellent....

Observations:

They definitely dig photos....lots of them all over the place.

Ditto, guy takes Rob's picture soon as he comes in, so we've got 1 camera and 1 videocamera accounted for. Didn't see any others.

Guy in Pic 2 Rob's Drink on the site is accounted for.
Guy in white/pink shirt is accounted for.
Partially obscured chick beside Rob is accounted for.
The weird looking one is probably cam perspective and is the black chick in the strappy dress.

I got your bigtit chick so you can ogle but I'm thinking the chick in the black dress is the one from pic 2, out of the partiers that is.

As for guy in the Pic 2 on the site, the one in the white/pink shirt, WTF are the circles on his shirt when they're going outside?

Here ya go...enjoy.


the picture of the fridge
there's something that says "??? lif_ has"

life has?
lift has?

and the thing right below that could be sanskrit

 		Noriko Yoshida seems to be a fairly common name. Lots of Google results, but nothing solid.

 		Yes! Finally! been reading this topic for the past 2 days, waiting for something to happen...I was worried that 1-18-08 was just a dead site and not going to be a game at all, despite the Pikeness...

You can't drink just six...

 		nightowl's post a dozen pages ago....
He did call it! ;-p
Anything we can work with?

I remember somewhere early on somebody mentioned that Abrams had put something on the Hanso Foundation in the credits for MI3? Did HF play any actual role in the movie? I didn't see all of it. If not, could the slusho just be a nod to alias?

I hope it's something to work with here. Otherwise I'm gonna feel so teased....but there have been the few reports that slusho was a working title, so if this is confirmed, then this is the trail we go down.

messages from someone who is near a filming area:

Thanks to Tomster6911 for this inside evidence:

Did you read this?? I live in L.A. And I saw the sign. It had a donut and said "SLUSHO" people said it was a "real-life" Simpsons episode.. HA! Whatever.
I didn't see the militant objects though. But! There were A CRAP LOAD OF CARS! aND people!


and when i asked him if he could get some pics...

You can't. You have to be at least 2 blocks from the spot. And they have at least 17 cops making sure no one has any recording device.
BUT! My friend lives in a loft, we were trying to get in. He said he recorded people screaming!!!

And I'll ask him to upload it!




Thanks to Jerry For This:

I am completely obsessed with getting to the end of this.

I just read on IGN.com that the new "fake" name for this abrams thing is called "Slusho" which is a reference to the Slurpee type drink on Alias.

BUT, I did a google search of Slusho, and I got a couple of postings in a site about something called Project Serpo, which is supposed to be a real life accounting of....

This site is intended to facilitate the gradual release of confidential documents pertaining to a top secret exchange program of twelve US military personnel to Serpo, a planet of Zeta Reticuli, between the years 1965-78.

In posting 7, the soldiers while exploring come "Lush green fields were found containing a form of grass, but contained bulbs. The Team coined these fields, "Clover Fields," even though the bulbs were not clover."

I also just found out that the Roswell crash occurred on July 2, but has now been widely accepted as July 4th.....so that could possibly mean that it was July 3rd....the date of the trailer showing. I know I'm weird, but so is JJ Abrams.

Ok, now more on Roswell........On the banner, the last four letters are well, and the last three letters are Rob. Put'em together......Rob-Well.....I'd like a closer look at that last letter because if that bottom of the b isn't closed, it could be perceived as an s.

There were according to Project Serpo actually two crash sites, although the second was not discovered until AUGUST. Strange that we won't get a 2nd dose of Van Mantra until August, eh?

I'm still doing more research on this and it probably has nothing to do with it, but we'll see.

 		Here's a pic of a filming notice for "Slusho" just to confirm that's one of the shooting names for this thing:

Interesting that it's the Slusho guy pouring something down Rob's throat while he's got another one in his hand. Just 6?

 		We should see if there's anything to that map Chico posted. It's all marked up and it caught my attention as well.

The Roswell thing is interesting. Serpo.org is definitely out of game, and likely irrelevant. It's an old website about an even older theory, as far as I can tell. The "clover fields" mention shows that the gamemakers were likely aware of the site, but it's not necessarily going to give us clues.

 		SOL head
Does something "throw" the SOL's head from downtown NYC, like down near the Woolworth Building or so?

And after watching the vid a slew of times, I am not sure anymore about "it's a lion" and "it's alive" though the latter seems more realistic.

 		Here's, basically, a script of the trailer (transcribed by me)
"Be quiet-he's coming. Guy's, he's here. Let's go."
"SURPRISE!"
chants, claps, woos
"What is this for?"
"it's for rob. say something to him before he leaves."
"Rob's awesome and I'm gonna miss him."
"Rob-have fun in Japan."
"Rob-You owe me 11 dollars."
"How are you gonna survive without Rob? He's like your main dude."
"Yeah I know, hey man, how am I gonna survive without you?"
"I don't know I'm like your main dude."
INSANE roar sound right before lights go out. Car alarms and rumbling.
"What was that noise?"
"it sounded like an animal."
--unable to hear--
"Phone calls are pouring into the New York 1 newsroom as a thunderous, roaring sound..."
"Hey you wanna see this from up on the roof?"
"What animal sounds like that?"
"It shook everywhere man and there was like temors"
"Looks like you should have left town a little earlier."
ROAR explosions and whoas/screaming
"Go, Go Go..."
"What is it? Is it coming this way?"
"I saw it it's alive-and it's HUGE!"
"Let's go!"
"Has anyone seen (Jesse??)"
Roar
"Oh my god, oh my god"
"It's gonna be the best night ever."

Watch Rob's face-something makes me feel like he has some kind of an idea about what's going on. and right before it flashes j.j.'s name ther's some stuff at the bottom of the screen

maybe this will help?

Well the Japan conection clears up finally.

Maybe.....Rob's in a suit...he got a job I bet, and maybe, just maybe, he got a job offer to work for Slusho main hq in Japan and he's moving away, hence the party but then shit happens....

Just thinkin out loud ;-p


Oh and then all the damn pictures! Laughing


And it better not be a giant slusho....whether from roswell or not.
