I got my package last week. I got the hula girl, so my postcard is the same as Lacy's.

My cockroach has the letters BO.

Also, I got the washer/rubber band/piece of wire thingy, but it was just loose in the box that held the hula girl, postcard, and cockroach. I had no idea what it was until I talked to Ariock about it and saw that I didn't get the snake eggs envelope. Sad

Maybe it was a mistake or maybe it's a KLOO!

Received postcard with "The Roose" lyrics. A cockroach that if it did have letters on it's back they are now gone (blast the rug rats) . The rubber band twirl,washer/rubber band/piece of wire thingy and a plain key with no numbers.

EDIT - BO on the BUG

I just got a second postcard in the mail. I'm going to spoiler the text.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Thanks!
From west of Needles,
East of Ludlow,
60 miles NE of Twentynine Palms.
From Route 66
and Talbot Griffin


And a second spoiler for where that ends up:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Just west of Essex, CA

HOORAY UNFORUMS ARE BACK!

I received my package several days ago. Same "the Roose" poem on my card, my cockroach has AL on it (extremely faint), and the key has A(or H)663.

Hehehe, well, I got my more important (to me) perk!!!

I love that pic of me! I was quite drunk on cider after one of my (old) drag theater group's shows years ago (sigh, to be young again), and I was "performing" Seether. It's such a great pic, I'm so so so so thankful they took THAT pic of me (and such compliments!!) I had to make the meta joke in the thread. Very Happy

Woah, this place is amazeballs! So I heard music so I went downstairs to check things out. Met this hot chick in the lobby and she is TOTAL rock'n'roll! She was mumbling something about Lenape High and 'twin peaks binges in Quincy'. WTF! I had no freekin idea what she was talking about, but she was HOT! I asked her her name, she smiled a slow smile and whispered, "Pixie". I was like, "Damn, so you're a mythical creature from folklore?" She laughed and I swear I saw colours! Like an aura around her! She shook her head, as if in slow motion and goes, "What do YOU know about pixies?" I shrugged (I hope nonchalantly). She goes, "we're playful, mischievous, love to dance..... and love to wrestle!" LOL! I told her I was trying to get back to Room 27 and she stepped back and just stared, right through me. "Woah...you got Room 27? Hope you know how to party!" I hope I see her again tomorrow

Perhaps nothing, but Rob Pratten commented on his photo on FB, and referred to Talbot as TG. And Talbot commented back referring to Rob as a FAN. In all caps. Perhaps that is a word we are building toward?

OTOH, he does capitalize a few random words in many of his posts.

With the Jim morrison link and the hotel california potential and the 27 club - could it link into that somehow - also - are the repeating ones just to make sure all of the letters are found or do the multiple accounts mean something?

Since the PMs have no way of knowing for sure who will actually show up, or how involved they will get, I suspect there are multiples of the same combos to increase the likelihood they will all be reported by at least one person. [/youtube]

Mine is:

AL on the cockroach but very very faint.

H365 on the key.

Poem on card:

For a room that is found
On the birth of 'the roose'
Where cold blends with peace
And reveals strength of muse
Where echoes reverb
And Los Muertos set free
Pledge on all Hallows Eve
You won't sing out of 'key'

I got my package a few days ago, but didn't see the Dark Detour discussion on uF until today, doh.

Letters RI on the cockroach.

A163 & Corbin on the key

Postcard:
"As a fan, wear your
colors with pride
Talbot Griffin-
The next Jim Morrison
And don't you forget it!"

Griffin T-shirt (which I think explains the postcard)

Rattlesnake Eggs (which scared the bejeevus out of me)

You can find a picture of contents on my Flickr page.
