[INFO] WHO'S GOING WHERE, AND WHEN? Ok, so this thread should help us organize who's going to be at what point and when, so when you recognize a point not taken, we need to assign it!
I will take the Bensenville, IL location, as it's only about 10-15 minutes away from where I work (and I'm sure I can duck out for an hour to check things out...)
Located on the NorthEast corner of George Street and York Road.

I will try to make it to the Macon, GA one. 10:29 PDT (1:29pm local)
Corner of Brookhaven Road and US-80 (NW corner, or could be an underpass? I don't know if US-80 is a limited access hwy. there)
About 75 miles away for me.
edit - Maybe I should show up wearing my bee hat?

I will be at the Billings, MT location (11:47 PDT coordinate). It's very close and during my lunch hour so it will be no problem to check things out.

have a strong feeling that at these times, and locations it will basically be a free-for-all
lurkers and/or people who have never heard of the unfiction forums will be mobbing the places that are close to (sub)urban areas.
esp now that the wiki is getting too much traffic to keep up.

I can make it here, but I fully expect that the PM's will do something to let us know not to go. Seems far-fetched to have a gathering this widespread for an ARG tied to a video game.

I'll see you there. =) Getting a friend with a car to drive me to Wauwatosa is about all I can do. Madison... nnnope.

I can try to be at both Madison locations (they are a block apart, but also 3 hours apart). The campus has wifi for students...luckily I am one, so i can update as necessary.

I can show up at the Portland (actually Beaverton) coordinate that's on Allen Blvd. The time is before work and it's a 2 minute drive from my house so it works out quite nicely for me .
I don't recall seeing a pay phone around there however. Guess I'll have to look harder.

i will be hitting the ann arbor michigan location tonight at aproximately 5:30. Does anyone know of a good tool to convert the coords to an address? i know that block, but i am unsure as to exactly which storefront it might be... i have a few hunches though, seeing as it will have to be a public space.

I have a feeling that we're not going to have to "guess the storefront"... I think we'll know when we get there... not to mention, these points are accurate to a detailed degree... I think you should just check out the general location, and report back, if possible... IMHO, of course...
