I'm heading out to Griffith Park after work.

Anybody going there with a GPS tracker? The map I have is in the middle of nowhere.

That UCI one is pretty close to me, but I can't make it tonight. If you don't get it today, I will try to help out tomorrow.

Also, the one at the Block didn't seem to go hot today either, I can run by there on my way to work tomorrow, but I wanted to confirm with HitsHerMark first that its the phone around the corner from the Virgin Megastore. Let me know.

Also also, does anyone have an OC list yet? The only ones I know of are the Block, UCI, and the Wax Museum one (which doesn't appear to be activated this round).

Hey Troublecat,

Did you hit that axon back when it was with the first group? "You_Could" or whatever?

I was there last Tuesday.

I'm 0/3.

I'll be at the Claremont axon for "real".wav tomorrow. It's 5 minutes from my house I just found out. I just had to let out a shout of joy.

But I have a problem. The foothill-mountain 4 way intersection has 2 gas stations, an Albertsons(I think) and an A&W restaurant. That'sa lotta payphones. Any tips for my first (and likely only) activation?

Robyn, one of the Emergency axons is right by disney's DCA park, literally 300 feet from the tower of terror ride. We still have yet to activate it Sad

Okay - I just got down here from home, in Palo Alto, where there was an influx of axons.... Evil or Very Mad

However, now I'm down at college here in Los Angeles, I may as well help out.

I can get the Burbank (media city center) [34.183148, -118.311792 || 16:07 || I-hate-you] axon, with any luck.

I'll also try to get the Hollywood Way axon [34.194096 -118.348745 || 17:59 || Creepy] - this may be harder, depends on if I'm eating dinner early or late. I'll update tommorow yes or no, when I know.

These are the ones that are most convenient to me, so yah. Good luck, other Los Angeles beekeepers.

ETA: I may also try to go for the Griffith Park axon - but we shall see. Moe - did you find any payphones there? I saw that you said you were going, but its not activated.

I think I chose poorly on my route to the Griffith Park axon. I followed Canyon Dr. A friend of mine said that it would be better to follow Beachwood Dr. up to the stables. If I can escape from work, I might try again.

Having no boss today, I decided to venture out and hit the Los Angeles Axon for 4:59 p.m. It was quite a drive that ended up at the Sunset Ranch, a horse ranch in the hills around the Hollywood sign. I had to park my car and walk up a ways to the buildings.

The only pay phone I saw was attached to the front of stables, surrounded by "cowboys."

I walked up and asked if there were any other pay phones around.

"Nope."

So I asked if that pay phone accepted incoming calls.

"Yep. It's our business line."

I told them that I was expecting it to ring at 4:59 p.m. They looked at me kinda strange, so I explained that it was part of a game. One of the girls perked up.

"Halo 2."

Yeah.

"My boyfriend's into all that. I know I'm gonna lose him on November 9th."

The girl and I had a nice little chit chat (I had 15 minutes until the phone was gonna ring). It was her first day there. She was just lending a hand, didn't really know everybody yet. Then I listened to the "cowboys" talk about how Ralph Machio from the Karate Kid looked just like the girl from Flashdance.

Finally the phone rang. No one moved, so I picked it up. Before I could get the receiver to my ear, one of the "cowboys" whoaed me and took it.

"Hello. Can I help you?" Pause. "Can I help you?" Pause. Then he hung up. "Some kind of recording."

He went off talking about telemarketers and how with their recordings you can hang up all the sooner, completely oblivious to the conversation I'd had with him fifteen minutes earlier about expecting a call.

I glanced at the girl I'd been talking to, and she gave an "I'm sorry" look.

So I strolled back down to my car.

Now I'm 0/3. I'd tell the PM's to give up on that number.
