The Slusho Enterprise was part of the 'decorate an Enterprise model' event, much like this year's 'decorate a Vader helmet' event. I believe the ships were auctioned off at the end of it.
Ahh, I see. Guess I won't be adding that one.

Last tweet from San Diego was just posted:

Goodbye, San Diego! And remember kids: Real Spacemen Love Rocket Poppeteers!
Starting to think that slogan might have some hidden info in it. Any ideas? They're sure using it a lot and in prominent ways. Are we being Popsicle brainwashed?
I'm with you. I had mentioned when everyone was getting the letters in the mail that maybe we should look into possible anagrams in the phrase.

Well, following that logic, it is kinda fun to play with the idea that These might be aliens using the RP as a recruitment tool.. kinda like they did in that stinker "V"..
In District 9 the Prawns ate cat food..
Perhaps we will find there is a mind altering additive in Rocket Poppeteers fleet pops (ala Slusho's seafood ingredient) that makes you a certified real spaceman?
It will be interesting to see how far off base we have been when we get some facts to deal with..

That might settle the question as to weather or not we are supposed to send back our letters with the number of stars challenge. We must keep them on us at all times! Maybe you need to know the answer to the challenge when you present the letter.

So people need to keep their eyes out for the RP truck on the road. If they are going to tour major cities, each sighting will help us guess where the next stop will be. We should also consider what events might be good venues for the truck.

I had tried that wordsmith.org before, including words like "secret" and "cooper" but didn't see anything that jumped out at me.

Maybe this is what you meant, but I'm hoping that they just don't randomly show up in neighborhoods. I'm guessing they'll do the same kind of twitter updates we saw with San Diego. Of course, this means that, once again, we won't know where they are until they're there. I'm guessing that they'll be going around the major cities and staying in each city at least two days...

RP truck in our town? It would VERY interesting if we could access who made the popsicles and could determine how many they produced. I would think it would be on the wrapper, and to just go around handing out food without some form of gov't OK would seem like possible Health Code violations. Additonally to have a candy/ice cream truck in a city (especially as big as San Diego) would require business license, etc.
The logistics and costs associated with moving ice cream trucks all throughout the U.S. (and other countries?) seems too much for even Team JJ.
I wouldn't be surprised if they hadn't contracted with vendors aleady licensed to go in each locale they determine to have one of the RP trucks show up in.
But unless you live in a major metropolitan area, I think the odds of seeing the RP truck in whatever berg you're stuck in is about the same as seeing Clover in S8.
Maybe the "recruiting in your town" is a reference to sending in the coupon?
And Summerspop,
I tried one of the anagram solvers subtracting "topsecret" from the phrase "Real Spacemen Love Rocket Poppeteers" but didn't notice anything that stood out.
