 		Jumping in on this one Smile

Went ahead and added RU on foursquare, he responded to my request right away. Looks like he has been visiting Poe related Baltimore locations for the past 3 months (Poe's grave: twice & the Anabel Lee Tavern). He was at the gravesite on the 22nd same day that he tweeted:
Quote:
I can barely control my excitement. I found her today. Amongst the tombs.

EDIT: Just a note, RU could stand for Roderick Usher, from Fall of the House of Usher. He was an artist in the story.

Brilliant hypothesis, Atropanocturna! Welcome into the fold! Do you mean to say that the character was literally at the gravesite on the 22nd!? Does this mean we should be looking out for my opportunities to see RU in the flesh? Does anyone live near any Poe-oriented locales?

 		Rumkin has Gold Bug encoder/decoder.

Select Text:Gold Bug for the Method of Encoding.
It's the same number/symbols as booba posted.

 		This is a little late to the game, but I noticed that R.U. left a comment a while back on the WyrdCon blog:

A gaming convention – how delightful! The perfect venue for my upcoming artistic work, Goldbug.

BTW, I do believe I found her today. And I can't wait for it all to begin, but, for now, I must prepare.

R.U.

 		Hey everyone!

So, I just jumped in on this one and I'm already confused Smile RU specifically asked me to follow him on Twitter (which I already did) so he can dm me a clue. Well, what I got from him was first just a letter "t" and then "This is a piece to a larger puzzle." No picture or anything. I thought the "t" might have been just a mistake but you never know.

ETA: Oh, and a new tweet
