[TRAILHEAD] edoclaundry.com-upcoming ARG mentioned in Wired

[shylilembrace]

wow. this seems way to product oriented for me but you could always take pictures of the shirts in the stores or something

I'll admit, I liked the whole idea of using puzzles on cards for "PPC". But this is just going a bit too far with the idea. I really don't like the direction this looks like it's going.

And I'm sure that the shirts will not be available in stores like the puzzle cards were, or else there would be a lot of people (myself included) who would simply copy down the puzzle that is on the shirt and then take it home with me to do. The only reason why I'd buy a $35 t-shirt would be if I was at a concert, and even then I'm a bit itchy on the whole thing.

Checking out the site I see it seems to be an US only thing (yet??)

Anyways, using tab on the flash, i seem to be missing a link or two to click:

This is more of a bizzare marketing ploy (i.e selling baseball cards with cigarettes) than an ARG, if the story's good and the shirts are readily available (site only lists Kansas City stores in Missouri, as you may know, I'm in St. Louis) I might join in.

$35 is extremely steep for a frackin' shirt. Unless this thing shows substantially more promise, count me out.

Dude, throw me a bone - at least put up some shirts that don't make me look like every other kid on Myspace these days.

That said, the Wired article did give some pretty detailed clues, and I wish I'd bought it last night instead of opening myself up for attacks from the aforementioned scene kids by going to the Album Leaf show...

And you have to admit, the shirts do seem to be of a pretty high quality , with different colors for every design (which both would jack up the price a little bit.) I realize that they need to make money to make more high quality shirts, but 20-25$ would be a better price range for this.

Hey, while I don't have much flow to buy some $30+ shirt, I would rather spend it on a company that (1) does have good designs. (I mean, whether it's your style or not, they're done well), (2) is supportive of the ARG lifestyle, and (3) has seemingly detailed puzzles. I mean, would YOU have figured out the paint drip thing.. honestly...

So if I have the money, and a store opens up in the Midwest that carries it. I will definitely consider it. And I have NO PROBLEM with people making money off of good ideas. No one is forcing ANYONE to buy ANYTHING. It's a company with a gimmick for hip, but smart people. That's cool. It's better than many other shirts costing $35 bucks...

BTW, an ARGN article is forthcoming on the topic.

Dinner for two = $17
Two Movie Tickets = $15
Being able to look smart by explaining to college girls how to solve the puzzle on the your t-shirt = priceless

Okay, I'll bite.
