Good luck Team Chi-town! I wish I could be there with you. The rest of us will be online for help and updates. PM me if you want text updates that night, and I can relay anything we discover here. ^^

Good luck and dress warmly! XD

Thanks! PM sent, always looking for keyboard support. We'll keep you in mind for swag.

If i get down there I would need text or phone call support since I'm not smartphone capable. I do have an Ipod Touch but that makes me totally dependent on WIFI.

Also Chicago Searches my car has a built in GPS unit would that help or do you think walking/public transpo would be better

I'm thinking for quick questions, text message/phone, and if we're online, IM/IRC. I'll have a netbook and a kindle (and a video camera), so we should be covered.

I broke one of my toeclips today riding in the cold, so I'm going to have to be on foot/CTA for this.

Sounds like everyone is on the same page about bookstores. (pun intended?) Glad to help in any way.

Since there apparently will not be sufficient advance notice for me to try and get to one of the cities down here whenever they're announced, letting you know that I'll be camped out somewhere with wifi, laptop, and Droid. Willing to get on IM, text, IRC (haven't used that since the 90s!), whatever to help out. Though it sounds like there's good coverage already Wink

So I'll be there in digital spirit Wink And if there is any followup event as a result of this like a screening, hopefully I'll be at that.

Mad I hear you about the cold. I had a flat tire this morning just because my rims on my car shrank. I think the cold may work to our advantage though because it may keep other searchers away.

I can text, call or whatever you guys need just let me know and get me some numbers. I have an android, so mms, sms or pics are not a problem.
Whatever you guys need! Kidjim, let me know what you need and I'll do my best to help you out.

So does anyone have any clue as to how this is going down?? Twitter, phones, FL page...??? Have we officially decided how we are going to communicate through this?

I will be heading out from work like last time. I am by the river. I won't be able to meet up early, so I guess I will just see ya guys there. Any guesses on how long it will take? They aren't going to have a showing right then and there will they?

I do have the Tron phone and this thing better ring! I also have my normal phone, an EVO. I will be sure to have it with a full battery.

Checking out poeple's profile's, I am not sure we can rely on madopal. From his website: "Welcome to Mad Opal. I've started my own company to battle the evil corporate overlords such as Microsoft, Pepsi, Viacom, and Disney." How do we know we can trust you opal? Wink

It is part of the game. Back in March there was a countdown which revealed a bunch of cities and had clues on where to go. For Chicago it said to go to Union Station and find the guy in a Flynn Lives t-shirt and tell him the password.

I was the first one there. He gave me a pay as you go Virgin mobile phone (very basic) and charger. There was a number in contacts that I called. The woman on the other end gave me directions outside where I found an 80's blue vinyl velcro Tron wallet with tokens, trading cards and codes to put in the website.

There never told us if we would need the phone again, but over the year someone has put $40 worth of minutes on it so I have always kept it charged and on me. Only one person per city got all of this (except for like NY and LA which had 2 I believe). I beat out a guy by 10 seconds too.

Thanks I thought that might be what it was from. I remember seeing a youtube video about that. If they put 40 more min on it I'd bet that it gets a phone call tomorrow

Well, in my defense, Tron is the most un-Disney-like property ever. Smile

I won't be able to meet with you guys at 9AM as I will be in class in the loop until 11:50. Once that is out though, I am free until my next class at 3:30. I believe I sent my phone number in email or PM to you Opal, so hopefully we can meetup somewhere later. I am amped for this you guys. Less than a day left! Good luck everyone!

AND AN EXTRA EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS:
Goes out to those of you willing to be part of the hunt remotely. It takes a humble person to want to be able to help those for the sake of the ARG and with no guarantee of any loot. I just want you all to know that your help is very much appreciated, and if we are able to get extra loot or things we can send it your way. Thanks again! Smile
