If you listen to the music on the Synthasia flash site long enough a man's voice can be heard mumbling something. Is there a way to isolate the music on a flash site so that we can figure out what he's saying?

The copyright mark on the bottom of the flash page is linked to a hidden page. It's Dale's invitation to email him for tickets for Ash Grove Park's Admit One Promotion.

Nice catch! He basically says he has a few sets left and will give the last couple out for free (ie.. liek I guessed.. not enough pre-orders went out).
I would.. suggest... that we not abuse this and go scrambling to try and get as many sets for ourselves as we can via friends mailing addresses, etc. This is a nice chance for those who couldnt afford the comic to get in on the action!

It's still clickable. But it's only clickable in the flash site.

Thanks for that, I have the book, but no ticket set, so I just sent off an e-mail to Dale asking if he has any left

Trout me if this's been posted before, but Dale's contact info can be found here .
Address: Winton Pond Rd, Aglaura, NJ 08088
Phone: (866) 484 1568
Synthasia email: daleSPLAT synthasia.com
CTW Comic emails: daleSPLAT thewishcomic.com, chasingthewishSPLAT new-fiction.com
The zip code for the address given is for Vincentown, NJ , rather than the fictional Aglaura.
Edit: Ignore the following crazy talk.
Side note: His phone number is actually given as:
It seems like a really long shot, but might the +1 have something to do with the automatic writing, as a signed number of some sort? I ask this not because it seems likely, but because it seems like an odd way to list a phone number.[/code]

I thought the opposite - thought they must have run out of them as there are still a few of us that haven't got ours yet. Don't know whether to apply for more - as you said, seems greedy if the originals turn up, but irritating at the moment.

Nope. When dialing long distance, this is the country code. US is 1. You put it in front of the area code.

In the non-flash site, along with the content changes as you go thru the "Next page" links, the sprites scattered on the pages change as well.
While it could be that they were added individually for each page as a last thought, that would have had to be done in a layer and the layer placed below the other page content. I really feel there is some kind of code here as all the other non content-specific graphics are perfect matches between the four pages. They are different on each page and each page can have several copies of a certain group of sprites. Am I chasing rainbows as well as wishes?
EDIT: Nevermind. I just looked at the flash version.
