Yeah, well it's 9:15PM on the west coast, and Bungie usually does whatever they need to do in PST time so...

I live about 10 minutes from Redmond (Bungie HQ) and I don't know about everyone else, but I am definitely staying up to see what happens on 081607 and driving on to Seattle if that is what it comes to. I will update as much as I can, but so far nothing has cropped up.

This is probably Meta however...
When I was looking at a new unveiled map for Halo 3 at IGN.com the last sentence grabbed my eye.

... and some hot event coverage coming tomorrow and into Monday. Stay tuned.
Event coverage tomorrow? Which is basically today the 16th as it was posted on the 15th. Perhaps it has to do with the Artifact locations?

I'm thinking, because of IGN's comment about event coverage through Monday, there will likely be OOG Halo 3 related events happening in those cities, but the forerunner entity will be including some Iris-related stuff as well, so whatever these 'events' may be, people should keep an eye out for the glyph, or subversive elements within...
that is of course assuming that's what's going to be happening
However if it were promotional events for Halo 3, there would be more notification time for regular fans to plan to be there... at this point it's only people who follow/care about Iris who know 8/16/07.
So who knows... we await the update!

Refreshes of The Artifact Location page have so far pulled up nothing, and the "topsecret.xml" file hasn't been changed yet.

My clock is showing 11:45 PST so hopefully something will happen within the next half-hour.

wow, I can't believe how many people expect things to happen the moment the clock strikes midnight... let alone how many are complaining and crying foul (I'm talking other forums and irc and such)...
such high expectations, unnecessarily so... IF something happens today (which is pretty much guaranteed), there are 24 hours to go. patience

But, again! Where ? Where should we start looking...
I'll be in New York, but, as you know, IT'S A BIG PLACE!
Where to start? Most likely the Upper East Side...
I highly doubt anything's going to end up in the Bronx, or the bad part of Brooklyn (It's Iris, Dawg!).

Hey all, I'm new to the site, found it throught the Iris wiki. I work in downtown Mannhatan and i have a light work day today, so chances are (if it goes down during the work day) that I'll be able to run over to wherever something occurs and get pics, vids, etc. My guess is times square or central park. Also just a guess, it might have something to do with a demonstration by Society of the Ancients perhaps? I dunno. I'll keep checking throughout the day to find out.

The people at ABO had some interesting ideas on when things will happen... I don't know if any of you were in on that but here is the link http://args.bungie.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1103&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=60
