 		We also found a map to Blevins Arkansas

Click search on Virgils books, it takes you to a specialized Google page.
With all kinds of links...follow that to find a crazy map!

 		Wow guys great freaking job!!! This is amazing! What a rabbit hole! I looked them up, listened, watched the music video for Already Over on Youtube(holy crap its amazing) and bought the cd on http://www.shockhound.com/albums/191853!! And I'm not even into Christian rock! LoL. (if you're really into the music video and want to download it in high quality, I use http://keepvid.com/)

Here are a few things I've noted, some are review:

This is an viral ad / potential ARG for the band RED, a Christian rock band that
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
has a new album being released possibly Febuary 10th '09. I'm guessing that from the band's Myspace page. The last tour date is on 2-10-09 and is 466623623-263-46784628, which has its own dot com we've already been to. The band's page here http://www.myspace.com/dropofred, which when you click on the last tour date it says:

RED
02-10-2009 00:00 at 466623623-263-46784628
, Everywhere,
Cost:

So maybe they're co-ordinates? I'm guessing the the count down clock at http://www.466623623-263-46784628.com/ticktock/ also adds up to 2-10-09?


The Gold key is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the first letters of Superbia Avaritia Luxuria Invidia Gula Ira Acedia which are the Seven Deadly Sins.
Which doesn't get us anywhere without the Silver Key too.

I'd guess someone (Dante?) is trying to stay out of hell. The name Charon, who commented on his Myspace is also
Wikipedia wrote:
the ferryman of Hades who carried souls of the newly deceased across the river that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead.

And his picture of the dog looks a lot like the one in the youtube video he posted as a comment.

At Dante's Pizzeria, you can click and hold down on the types of pizza under Menu to see track titles, then on some, if you click on the green/white/red bullets on the menu, it'll play samples of the songs.

Red has another Myspace called the Red Nation, which has a blog entry about pre-ordering its new album, but is only viewable to friends. I send a friend request, the album name my be a clue or come in handy.

Wiki wrote:
Dante Alighieri wrote the Divine Comedy which describes Dante's journey through Hell (Inferno), Purgatory (Purgatorio), and Paradise (Paradiso), guided first by the Roman poet Virgil and then by Beatrice, the subject of his love and of another of his works, La Vita Nuova.


With all that... I have no lead on what to do next.

 		That 4th tac on the google maps for the order section of the pizzeria is for this website http://www.gustavedoreart.com/ which
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
if you click "view dore art samples" it's scary, at the end you get something out of place and if you click the sort of print icon at the bottom right, you get puzzle piece 1 of 9. Then click the arrow down thingy icon and you get a poster with the new album's name on it! Woot!


Aslo a google search turned up another community trying to figure this out to http://www.lpassociation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28778 I'm reading some of it now.

On a side, more personal note, I think I want to read this book... I wonder if it ends well.

 		I'm in too
I'm the roomate thegeeotch (sp?) has been talking about. I'm big into Red and stumbled across the myspace a couple days ago. I didn't think anything of it but my roommate is into this stuff so we started digging. Here's some confirmations/ info that might help:

Red's new album Innocence & Instinct does come out on February 10, 2009 (hence the code of IIXMMIX needed to gain access to the first gate at www.466623623-263-46784628.com ).

I've also recently read the Inferno (I love coincidences) and all the references to Canto 3 have me intrigued. Canto 3 is the spot in the story where the demon Charon ferrys Dante and Virgil, his guide, a dead Roman poet who wrote the Aeniad, across the river Acheron and deeper into Hell/ the Inferno. All the cryptic comments on the myspace site (www.myspace.com/dante_466) have to do with Dante's journey: Dante is trying to get to Paradise by passing through the 9 circles of Inferno, to the hights of Mount Purgatorio and then finally to Paradisio, hence the Divine Comedy. Beatrice is his guide starting at Mount Purgatorio but sends Virgil to guide Dante through Inferno because she can't go there.

Hopefully that backstory helps a little. I've got to go back and try that Dore link on Dantespizzeria; It wasn't active last night.

 		I think i may have a way to hack the system on the http://www.washyouthosewoundswithin.com/ site.

I did a right click on the page, and clicked "inspect element." From there a whole world opened up into the Java Script (I think) any way, it is some sort of design for the system used to make up the Silver and Gold key. There is a listing of the letters and which one is selected as showing (P being the one showing) Honestly I have no idea if this will help at all. I have been studying it and trying to find if there is any possible way to see if there is a pattern or a list of the letters used to unlock the Door. We have the Gold key, so I was looking for the S A L I G I A letters as the key. There is a lot to sift through, but I believe we may be able to hack the code if we look into this deep enough. I use Google Chrome as my web browser so I dont know if that has any thing to do with it or if any one else can see the "inspect element."

Hopefully this can lead us to some short cut if some one smart (not me) can look into it (ie. code breakers) This may be a side track as well..but untill some of us who dont know code find more ways to find pictures....this may be our only hope to getting the Silver key.

Thanks, I know I can count on you guys.

 		I was checking out the Google page to look at the map, and I noticed each of the headings at the top lead to different pages:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Images: Pictures of the band Red
Maps: The map, obviously...Blevins is in SW Arkansas, and note how the town of Prescott is also highlighted...
News: Beatrice's Myspace Page
Shopping: iTunes Store (probably to pre-order...I don't have iTunes)
Gmail: Charon's Myspace Page

Under 'more...'
Video: Red's Youtube Page
Groups: Wikipedia page for "Instinct"
Books: Wikipedia page for "Dante Alighieri"
Scholar: Wikipedia page for "Seven Deadly Sins"
Finance: Wikipedia page for "Innocence"
Books: A 404 Error page with the URL virgilsusedbooks.com/error
Youtube: DanteVDOs Youtube Page
Calendar: www.466623623-263-46784628.com
Photos: experiencewii Youtube Page (not sure why, but it's a fun video anyway)
Documents: www.kesselskramer.com (some sort of party DJ)
Reader: Charon's Myspace Page (again)
Sites: Red's pre-order page
Even More: Virgil's Used Books


after reading up on what the people at lpassociation.com have dug up, i realized that 466623623-263-46784628 translates to "Innocence and Instinct" in predictive text...i just sent a text with that phrase to 71825, the zip code for Blevins, AR, and the Inferno Code shown on the 466623623-263-46784628 site...no response yet, though...

 		All we know about the Inferno Code is that it is the Postal code for Blevins AK. I called around in the area and found nothing out. We can call around tomorrow or something.
