Co-ordinates/August 24th poll Just wanted to see what the general playerbase is doing on the 24th as of now. If I missed any options, let me know.

How about "Grr, I've just realised that I will be on holiday, and at any time that remotely resembles 6:07 AM I'm likely to be driving my boyfriend mad"?
(I'm going to the Netherlands next week, and have ONLY just realised that the day I come back -- at 11pm local time (BST) -- is the 24th. Fortunately the event I'm going to has WiFi, so I'll be able to keep up with the last-minute spec, but my last day is going to be 'net-free...)

Well, being in the Netherlands will probably make up for missing the event... it's that nice!
...
In other news, being in the Netherlands STINKS, because I'm gonna miss the event(s)! RAH! Why can't we have some axons?!

Watch out now! I like pie is making a strong move for the lead!

I think this poll with the "I like pie" being tied for the lead, just shows that we are all tired of thinking from this coord puzzle.

Yeah, I really don't think we're supposed to actually go anywhere. Besides, I'll be camping in Cape Cod. Is there a location near Cape Cod, just in case?
Oh, I also like pie. I just had a chocolate peanut butter pie for dessert.

Personally I think it would be a good idea to keep a list of these coordinates with the name of someone going to each coordinate. That way we can try to get someone at every single coordinate. If these are all pieces of a puzzle, wouldn't it be best to get all the pieces?
(I would offer to go to one myself, but I am in the wrong hemisphere.)

Genesis, not positive, but I'm pretty sure I saw a spot where I was born. Was supposed to be Hyanis Mass, on the cape, on mainstreet.

Hey come on, only 8 people actually going there?! Even though I'm still skeptical as to what will happen, you should really go and check it out... you'll slap yourself for not going when it turns out to be a really cool distributed puzzle kinda thing!
Darn, if the PM's knew beforehand there were so many slackers playing this game, they would surely have planted an axon in Dordrecht for me to go check out

Hey George (or whoever) If you give me the location (if indeed it is in the cape) then I might see if I can go there... Not that I actually think anything will be there....
