!!
The ticket was for Les Miserables. I think the ticket went to someone named Horhez? The seat number is M11. I think? Maybe our 'seller' will be kind enough to give us a larger version of the image.

complex twist here -

this is the real website of the Curran

Googled Curran + Les Miserables to find out if/when LM ever played there.

pulls up this - http://www.currantheatertickets.com/les-miserables-currantheater.htm

There's a serious tip-off there that something is not right:
bottom of page
Quote:
Plot Summary for Les Miserables (1978) This is the true story of Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed, who introduced rock'n'roll to teenage American radio audiences in the 1950's. Freed was a source of great controversy: criticized by conservatives for corrupting youth with the "devil's music"; hated by racists for promoting African American music for white consumption; persecuted by law enforcement officials and finally brought down by the "payola" scandals.

uhhhh...... lost..... help.... somebody throw me a rope...

Something is up with that site. (currantheatertickets.com) It wasn't created just for this game, because it's existed since 2005, but that is pretty far from what Les Miserables actually is.

I don't know. I think we need to wait for something from sir JDM before we dig further into this site. I assume he'll give us SOMETHING for finding the listing.

According to this site, Les Miserables has had several long showings of the show at the Curran. The last show, as far as I'm aware, was in 2002 for a five-week engagement, according to the date this article was written.

I'm not sure that other site is IG, but still: wtf? |D

Quote:

Albert James "Alan" Freed (December 15, 1921 – January 20, 1965), also known as Moondog, was an American disc-jockey who became internationally known for promoting African-American rhythm and blues music on the radio in the United States and Europe under the name of rock and roll. His career was destroyed by the payola scandal that hit the broadcasting industry in the early 1960s.

Looks like LM did actually play at the Curran from Jun 9 - Jul 24, 2005.

I've emailed the seller with the name Horhez and seat M11. No reply as of yet.

Wow, this is getting really deep into real life stuff.. What if this turned out not to be a game? Razz

We must be getting somewhere though.

messed around at CTT.com and, although it does list some current shows for The Wicked at the Curran, and ticket listings for some other venues, I can't ever get to any state where it lets me buy anything... dunno what to make of it, maybe the phone number is the next clue?

Why is the listing title "Curran Theatre Ticket - Odd - $1"?

Here's a detailed seating chart:

There's no contact info at Kade's Korner, and comments are open only to "team members"

I googled "b f kade" (with omitted results included) - found some discussion of Kade at rigorous intuition here and here - this is not light reading (I need a long walk now) - another blog is mentioned in both threads, with reference and a link to a comment Kade made at that blog, which is cocoaandtruffles.blogspot.com, which no longer exists (except in cache) - from the 2nd link to RI above: b. f. kade said... "Looks just like Natalee." - the blog has been removed, but I expected some residue in the cache, so I googled cocoaandtruffles.blogspot.com and found this on page two of results (this is from google cache) Hugs For You: Christmas is lost to Gammers - from 12/21/2008 - it's a criticism of Jesus scholarship and the interweb, but check out those comments - there's one from someone going by the name JJ (!!!), and another from "kyra's vengeance" - someone using that name posted to this thread several pages back, basically saying that this ARG doesn't play by the rules

Is this OOG or META? I need to get a better handle on ARG jargon. Should I have used the spoiler function on the above?

going walking now
