I assure you...this was not unintentional.
I've never met you, and you never will. But you know me. Very well.
You're only now starting to remember.

Hello! How's it going?
I wanted to write you, because this is kinda weird...
The other day I got a small package in the mail. There was a little elephant figure and a random shaped piece of paper with some text and numbers and things on the back. But it also said whatiselephant.com on there...
Which when i checked a few days ago didnt exist! I only found this site today because some friends on facebook posted about it.
What is this? or who is this? haha.


Thanks!
Charlie

You have embarked on a journey that lasts as long and goes as deep as you choose.
What is elephant? We don't know exactly. All we know is its something much larger than you or I. It is the moment you decided what career you would follow. It is the thrill you get from breaking the rules. It is the realization that the forest remains silent when your'e not there to hear that tree fall.
With your help we will discover what elephant is together.

Please keep on sharing with your friends via Facebook, Twitter or email (make sure to use your referral link: http://whatiselephant.com/jp8c5).

You can see how many friends have signed up by entering your email again.

Video in the e-mail leads to another video after you click the "Charlie" hyperlink.

http://player.vimeo.com/video/20960307? -S02AT1 video
http://player.vimeo.com/video/20693647? -"Charlie" video

On Charlie's tumblr, I entered in the 00110011 as well as two codes on the main What Is Elephant? website, but with no luck.

@user: Where did you found charliepage on tumblr?

There is additional text as comment in the source code of charliepage:
Quote:

"What is it?" He whispered, but not to me.
Charlie sat in silence, staring at me. He was remembering again. He was questioning it.
He was confused.
His eyes darted as he soared through the memories into the possibilities.
They sharpened on me again. With hesitation, he reached out and brushed my ear.
And then he shouted, madly.
I spoke to him, but he could not understand, because he could not see my mouth. His eyes fluttered once more and this time I floated away.
Up.
And away.
I called to him once more, and this time he heard me.


31711 (maybe March 17, 20111)

if you look at the email, it shows charlie's email which is charlieSPLATcharliesplace.tumblr.com
also if you look on the page, highlight under "charlie has learned to dream in color" it says "Which color..."

the codes at the end of the charlie video are
00110011
00110001
00111001
00110001
00110001

the last number flashes twice
which codes to 31911 which as you indicated, could be an event on the 19th.

I emailed Charlie's email, hopefully I'll get a response, though considering that it's not Charlie's tumblr anymore (it says so in the page title) I don't know if he'll get it. Confused

Also, could that number 31911 be a color? #f31911? It's red, but that isn't the right password. Nor is #f31911 or just f31911.

Oh, also, the highlighted text on the page is:

Quote:
"What is it to me?" I whispered to no one in particular.
No answer came. Only questions.
I sat, imagining where I might go, where I had been. The memory was cloudy already. A dream so vivid once, now a dream again, full of impossibilities.
"Was it?"
"What did it feel like?"
I looked again, afraid of what I might see this time.
But it was the same still. And so it must be.
I touched it again. And it was still there. And so still it must be.
"WHAT IS IT TO ME!?" This time a cry.
"what it is."
I spun wildly looking for the author, the messenger.
Had I said that? I couldn't have.
I blinked again. All was unchanged. All was as I saw it.
"A dream then…"
"A dream?"
"In part," the voice shrugged, and this time I accepted it.
I could not see more. I could not understand differently.
I am me.



Also also, at the end of the email is this jpg. Adds a little creedence to my theory...


EDIT: My email bounced.
