Hotel

[Crvna]

If you go into satellite views there are no standing structures near where he checked in. So not just a typical abandoned building ghost town. I was hoping for at least a building to look at and research. My hope was too high...

It isn't uncommon for locations to be invented for ARGs though, so this doeant have to mean "the building doesn't exist in the ARG" - that isn't to say it does exist in the ARG either

Since I refuse to download swarm, can anyone tell me what happens when you click on the link for the location? Are there "reviews" or anything like that? Since it's an invented location, anything at all could be important.

"Not enough ratings"
"No tips here yet! Be the first to write one."
"Total visitors 0"

So nada on Hotel L I O N via Swarm. Think it's safe to say it's an invented ARG location.

Photo of the woman with the lit candle is the Swarm photo for the location. (I had assumed it was one that Talbot took when I saw it on FB.)

I don't think there is an actual physical sign they are referencing, I think they just mean if there was a sign with all the letters but L I O N burned out, that's what it'd look like.

I have a feeling Talbot isn't going to make it to LA for his gigs...

That Hotel

Looking at those lyrics - I wonder how many oh his posts can be matched up - This post he is talking about wind in his hair - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=218569394980237

I sent him a text this morning about heading off to LA. He replied a little while ago that he plans to be in LA this evening (it's only 4 hours away from his hotel?). Two minutes later he posted on FB about the pool party and plans for a late checkout.

he's actually quoted the song a few times as well. I knew there was something up with the way L I O N was written.... thank you for figuring that part out. I feel dumb LOL Okay, I'm gonna try to match all this stuff up so far {I'm fairly sure we won't get a representation of "warm smell of colitas" but yeah, there has been a LOT else so far} Bear with me while i post/edit/post/edit rinse repeat


EDIT: it will be easier for me to do this in in a spread sheet, so for now you can view my work here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dIvvNNkgV6ocjMW3wCjjzmehaHN2CKXA1SD4zh2X57o/edit?usp=sharing
