[ARG] "Who Killed Amanda Palmer?"
Re: Dresden Dolls

Not to derail, but I think most of us on this thread are DD fans, so how do you all feel about the breakup? I was pretty sad but I totally saw it coming. Hope they'll get back together and make some music eventually.

From Amanda Palmer's most recent blog entry:

the future of the dresden dolls wrote:
when we play shows, and hear people talking about how much they're moved by our music, it's worth any amount of impossible interpersonal bullshit, conflict and discomfort. it's WHY we did it, it's WHY i do it, it's why we didn't break up in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006 and why we are not breaking up in 2008.

so i repeat: the dresden dolls aren't broken up.
we're just taking a BADLY needed hiatus.
this is, to date, what the band has decided, and the wording we've agreed upon.

Re: buzzd by the Stranger

I got buzzd by the stranger early this morning. He said, "I like crossroads and doorways." That was all.


(My first post on unifiction. Random WKAP thoughts).

I think this might be a reference to the first photos out of the tin on Lauras flickr account. They both feature a stranger as well as an apparently dead AP. Curiously, one the crossroads one her right leg seems to be missing? AP has just injured her right foot crossing a road. Coincedence?


Beth has a Flickr too.

I figured out the fan art codes today but I'm strugling with the card
here.

The bottom right code says 'youtube'. Why? And what's the rest of it? The long code? I guessed at track 12 line 23 words 3,4 and 5... 'smaller by degrees'... but I have no idea what to do with them in the unlikely event that I guessed right.

Spoke to Jack (knows something) via email, it seems a song of mine will feature in the podcast.

I'd say you're probably right: B001BS0J3I is the Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) for the "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" CD.

Oh god I've been on the tubes too long. I looked at B001BS0J3I and immediately noticed that if you took out the 1, the first part would say "B00BS". Sigh.

Unfortunately too busy with real life for ARGs that aren't the one I'm working on and that's at least come to a standstill player-side atm. Sad thing too, 'cause this one should be good. Sad I can at least lurk like always. ;D

New email (the * lines of the body were "invisible" -- white text on white background):

Quote:
between the lines

Stranger and Stranger <thestrangeriswatching> to thestrangeriswatchingSPLATgmail.com


there's a princess
*A single word.
in the tower
*All together now
crying all day
*Can we say
for you to find her.
*Tag
won't you go to
*You're it.
her rescue?

-ts



So, who's it? Just me? Anyone else get this? Any idea what being "it" means in this case?

Tag, you're it

I got the same e-mail. Kind of a shame, thought maybe I was special! Smile

So, looks like we're all in this together!

The other code on the card in the bottom right corner says 'Youtube'. There are lots of people playing 'tag you're it' there. But I don't know what I'm looking for. Are we supposed to start a tag your'e it game?

isn't she a dear
shaved off her eyebrows
and then disappeared
TAG TAG TAG
the last time
i saw her
the girl said to me
TUBE TUBE TUBE
i've learned
all i can learn here
and leapt
into the
sea

Re: Monolith

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There's some binary code hidden in the source on the first Monolith & Sea page (xedni.html). Converted to text, it reads:

Love is impossible
Death is inevitable
Who Killed Amanda Palmer

New email

Hey everybody. In response to your letters and phone calls, I've opened up a new section on the WKAP boards, just for those of you who need to talk about Amanda Palmer, and try to make sense of all this. I know things are kind of messed up right now. They've got to get better. Right?

Jack

The new board is here.
