Trailhead? Help us find Nancy
Two strange people with signs!

So I was on my way back from Newcastle tonight and just before the bus went over the bridge there were a guy and a girl with signs that read "Help us find Nancy" and at first I just thought "Oh missing kid", until I saw underneath they had the following web address:
www.nancysbordello.com

So I just visited the site and it asks for your address and stuff (deffinately local to me just going by the example adresses!), I'm usually a bit iffy about giving my details out, but it looks like it could be pretty legit.
I'll let you know if lunatics show up at my front door or plauge me with phone calls, but yeah like I said it looks legit, and certainly not a crazy cult like the last trailhead I thought I found Smile

Well... who's 'Mr. Lynch'? Was he part of a previous ARG?

During a break at college I googled around, and it turns out there is a bar in Jesmond, Newcastle called Mr Lynch, so it looks like this is either viral marketing or there is another clue there.
This might explain why the sign up site randomly asked if I was a full time student Smile
http://www.mrlynch.co.uk/
(it looks like quite an interesting place actually, but I dunno when I'll be able to get there because Jesmond is a little awkward to get to, also the mailing list sign up form is practically identical to the sign up for on the Nancy's bordello site, right down to the same example name and address! However I don't think there was an example phone number given on the other site so I jotted it down and I'm gonna send a text message to see if it's a real number.)

The Mr. Lynch site looks seriously awesome. And it does say 'Who is Mr. Lynch' on the first page.

I think that this actually isn't an ARG, but perhaps just a contest/treasure hunt?

I feel this is probably some kind of viral marketting campaign because it says something to the effect of being invited to the opening if you win.

But a Bordello is a Brothel so... Why they'd publically announce the opening of a Prozzie home in Newcastle I don't know lol.

I'm registering anyway we'll see what happens.

Suprisingly the Collingwood street adress is also a nightclub, it's the one right at the end of the road before you turn onto Westgate Road (forgot wht it's called sorry).

Invitation
Anyone else get this?

Hi NataS,

For you and all our members I'm putting on a special, exclusive VVIP members only opening night at my new place on Wed 19th March. Print this out and bring it down with you for fun and frolics with me at my Bordello.

If you can't make it down, just come down to the general opening on Thurs 20th March at 7.30pm and kick off the Easter weekend Nancy 's style.

Look forward to seeing you there,

Nancy x

I guess, but thanks to the power of printers, Anybody who lives near there or wants to attend can just print the invite (it's generic) and go!!! I can't make it unfortunately.
