Minneapolis Topped Up Good Until December 30th Just checked mine, and it has been topped up to a balance of $42. There is hope that something is happening in regards to Flynn Lives in the Mini-Apple.

I just got a FedEx package in the mail with a new phone. Which is odd, because the phone I have (for Boston) still works. The new phone is actually the one that was on the other end of the call, when I had to talk to the Flynn Lives operator to find the wallet. There was no note explaining. So, now I have a pair of phones, but am not sure why I need two.
Holy crap, seriously? This has to mean something. Yeah the phones could be on an auto-pay system, but you don't just accidentally mail someone a cellphone.

With my phone dead and beyond reactivating, that at least gives me hope

I'm wondering if the Orlando phone was topped up or not.

Chicago phone has rang twice over the last 2 nights. Both times it was robo-political calls. Isn't it illegal for them to call cell phones?
Avatrix, that is most interesting. I am intrigued to see what comes of it. Who all is going to the Chicago show?

Naah, the politicians very deliberately gave themselves a nice exemption: "The National Do Not Call Registry does not limit calls by political organizations , charities, or telephone surveyors."

^ Correct. Anyway, anytime a person registers to vote, it becomes public information--including their name, sex, age, address, and phone number.
I've been volunteering a lot here in Iowa with One Iowa (now a PAC) and we frequently call people, even on cell phones.

I just received a 2 day express FedEx envelope from Flynn Lives, with a replacement operative phone and charger.
Looks like they're serious about putting these into play. Game on!

I'm still stunned that for my first ARG I've been holding on to one of these drop phones, and apart from that never-ending feeling that I'm one lucky SOB, as soon as anything comes across that phone-text or otherwise-you guys will be the first to know.

Hey PostLarvel and Avatrix, did you guys complete the newest Arcade Aid stage?
I'm thinking the phone may be the reward they hinted at. And that not everyone will be getting one (they sure made it sound like not everyone will get a prize).
