[META] DC Axon Hunter Signal Corps Meet Here!

[chappy]

I'm in, but I won't be able to do much until I get home tonight around 6:30; I don't have any of my notes at work. I've already got a preliminary list of who got which axons based on forum posts, and some web space. Given a little time I can put together a DC-only status web page for us to coordinate from.

[aliendial]

ALSO - anyone who covers a DC coordinate - if you meet someone there that can commit to cover another one, get their nickname and a way to reach them so we can add them to the team and save someone else the trouble of getting to an axon that is covered. If you can get them to come to unfiction that would be great, but I care more about just getting this job done.

You/they can PM me here.

If they don't want to jump into UF, give them my EMAIL: aliendialSPLATyahoo.com

Moving this here from the general coordination thread...

[aliendial]

I anticipate a big push later in the week/weekend, after which the beer is on me! (Oh, or sodas, for our younger team members!)

[aethenoth]

Well, I have the day off tomorrow, and figured I'd try to hit some of the ones along the Mall. Leaving for vacation in another state for two weeks the day after, so this is try or die for me I'm going to take my digital camera along with me, so if I actually find one I'll take pics of it and the area around it so it's easier to find next time.

Here's to hoping it's not too hot out, I'm gonna be at it a while

[aliendial]

aethenoth, I have sent PMs to both INCyr and Kaziel, who got a bunch of the ones around the Mall last time (esp. the ones over by the Department of Agriculture). My list (above) has general info about those locations, and I do not believe they were hard to find, but it would help if they could point you to the exact right place. I hope they respond tonight (I asked them to post here).

Note that several on the Mall are new - expect the location from Melissa to be a little hazy. The one at 6th & Constitution is around the corner from one last week that Chappy never found, and I'm afraid "right in front of the National Gallery" may not be much more helpful. Frankly I would focus on the ones you know you can get, esp. when they are close together in time.

And feel free to cut deals with whoever shows up to cover certain locations. Suggest they come to UF to take credit for their work, too. (This way we have more people to call if this major dump of new axons happens again.) But not required, as long as the axon is hot.

Are there any on the eastern shore of Maryland or Virginia yet? Or Delaware, I'm in eastern lower Maryland and can't really hit the big cities over on the western shore. I know the last round was Baltimore, Richmond, and DC, but I'm wondering if any came over here yet.

[aethenoth]

Unfortunately I got called in last minute to work for today, so won't be able to play this time around Good luck everyone, and here's to hoping I get to play during the next round of axons

[aliendial]

chip, there are some down near Richmond/Newport News, but I don't think there's any eastern shore stuff. Check the main list yourself to be sure; sometimes the location is not clear to people who don't live there.

[aliendial]

aethenoth, work must always come first, of course. Maybe you'll have some time later in the week? I suspect these sites will be available for a while.

Well, there are 12 phones inside the National Gallery of Art, I waited by the four closest to the marker for the 10:15 call, but there was no ring. There's a set outside that I'll try, but I won't get it until Tuesday.

I also discovered it's impossible to make it from the Gallery of Art to the National Building Museum on foot in 8 minutes (traffic sucks, even for pedestrians). I missed the 10:23 call there by about a minute and a half . I spoke to the coat-check worker who had picked up the phone and explained what was going on; hopefully he will give the correct response when the phone rings tomorrrow. If not, I'll try for the phone myself later (Labor Day holiday will prevent me from axon hunting Friday-Monday).

If anyone is downtown and would like to try for these, feel free! I've updated the DC reference page with phone locations.[/url]

[aliendial]

Prioritizing - although we get credit toward the 777 axon total for any phone answered, we may want to put a higher priority on the ones that are still needed to get a sound clip.

OKay, based on aliendial's post, I will skip the 10:31 call tomorrow at the Ballston metro, and re-try the 10:23 call in the building museum. If it's the only phone I'm trying for, I won't miss it
