THE PODCAST IS HERE...
Behind the Art
I (David) just realized something really stupid that I did a long time ago. When I started this blog, I used what I believed to be the "official" TLE logo as a part of our banner and our podcast graphic. I was ignorant of the fact that TLE.com was a fan site and didn't even think about asking permission for or giving credit for the art. I just came to my senses and did some research. I wanted to finally give credit to "DocArzt" and thelostexperience.com for the artwork. I also wanted to let everyone know that they are graciously allowing us to continue using it on our site. Thanks a ton guys!
About TheLostExperienceClues
Click HERE to read the initial press release describing "The Lost Experience". This blog is devoted exclusively to "The Lost Experience". IF YOU'RE NEW TO THE GAME, our advice is to start at the bottom with Clue #1 and work your way up. You see, a few of us Lost fans have banded together hoping to keep track of all the clues, but we know that we can't do it alone. This game will require a global forum in order to discern the truth. Hopefully this site can be a common rendezvous point where all Lost fans can find what they're looking for (and also contribute information) when it comes to the latest intel about ABCs unprecedented interactive challenge (without getting lost in the clutter of the message boards). We are counting on you, the faithful Lost fans around the world, to keep us up to date with the latest clues via email. Happy clue hunting!

some number

"to the light of day"
Now that is interesting, with the whole flashlight thing. If I ever saw a blatant clue, that is it.
The "11766 Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles on Aug. 21, from 6 AM to 9 AM." seems a tad specifc.
Has to be a new glyph I reckon.
sheesh the lost experience does take the weekends off
TEN!! YAH!!! LOL
Here, I think my hubby finally snapped. ROFL

i'm bored
aw, Hugh didn't find my brain particuarly fulfilling :(
Wow, given current events in England, I'm amazed (skeptical?) they would encourage a bunch of Losties to converge at the Consulate early in the morning. My skepticism now marks the 107th time I've been wrong in this game.
hmmmm interesting...
I hope we get 29 & 42 and can finally move the ---- on!

top 25?

I'm in Santa Monica, and we get planes flying banners overhead here all the time - wouldn't be surprised if this is it. I'll be out there watching at 5pm.

11766 Wilshire is not just the consulate. It's an office building known as Landmark II and is home to the Entertainment Weekly News Desk (in suite 1700). I'll bet that's where Doc Jensen works out of.

There's-a-glyph-in-LA-and-what now?
Belly- you checked the e-mail address that it's the real thing?
Could be that Urballoon thing as well, that's profiled on Broadbandstories (projects internet content onto surfaces on public places.

This was my thought all along! DOC JENSEN DOES HAVE IT AND WE ARE TO GET IT FROM HIM!
Entertainment Weekly....News Desk
Is that an oxymoron to anyone besides me?
"...this just in. Britney Spears has just violated the fragile ceasefire agreement with Lindsay Lohan...."
"exposed to the light of day"
Think that's the clue-y part of it.
ill head over right now to kodak theatre/mann's chinese theatre... before i go someone want to give their cell number to me incase i find anything?

My broadband was down for a while, so this comes late.
@Dennis,
Thanks. You must be using a better decompiler. I can't get to that at all. Will try yours.
@all
Re #42
Pondering some bits from RoT
To tell the sleuth. = To tell the detective who follows a trail (syn. sleuthhound)
Meaning? Who is the sleuth/detective? RB? Or just a word play on "to tell the truth"?
And I was crazy ... like a fox. = CRAZY LIKE (OR AS) A FOX - ".seemingly foolish but in fact extremely cunning."
So DSLerator was sly / cunning like a fox? In what way exactly?
And as for Comic Con? I was there and not there, if you know what I mean? We know BBB was not there, so how WAS he there? Incognito? As Mel0drama?
Don't know if this is at all relevant as at the bottom of that thread we got the clue for #44 but who knows...
tapdawg, you get in on the most interesting stuff! Have a great trip!
My husband actually works at the 11766 building (for Fortune magazine)...it's where all of the Time Inc. publications are headquartered in LA. He will be there because he HAS to be, so I will make sure that he looks on 8/21 for a clue.
My feeling is that today's clue is an outdoor bulletin, in which case it could be anywhere in LA. I could be wrong, it's just a guess.
Sunset Blvd on the westside is usually where the entertainment companies vie for outdoor ad space (I do media planning for entertainment clients...), but really if it's a bulletin it could be anywhere.
hey we never got the jensen code yet???
With the term "exposed" being used... KODAK theater does line up.
This is getting me frustrated.
It's 5 o'clock in LA now.
Exposed...hmmm...maybe it's at a strip club.
hey what was the conspiracy that got proved true yesterday
That was a joke, btw.
hey the UK distribution dissapeared forever from apollo huh?
Friends....while we are awaiting word on the LA clue, check out this little Hanso movie that I stumbled upon today.....pretty cute:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p0bNP8eOr8
just checking in it's 5 pm in LA i thought someone would have found it already
Oooh! A live web cam of a stationary sign!!!
The traffic that site must see.
lost bird---
That's on Monday from 6 am to 9 am.
LEading a person to believe that this FIRST viewing could be missed.
Or confirming that Doc Jensen sucks ass.
"tdciago said..."
WOW! tdciago...so glad you finally decided to get a blogger account, at least this is the first time I have seen your comments!!
I do not post here a lot, mainly lurk, I just can't get into the glyph hunt myself...prolly to busy or to lazy...
I just want season 3 of Lost to begin...so we can get to the "bottom" of this whole Lost mystery.
(I am doing some other research and projects...loosly Lost related) But I do enjoy the intelligent comments made by the forum users in here, and look forward to yours also :)
ohhhh ok now i know how you guys felt when i was in times square i wish i was looking for the glyph.... well i had my chance and i saw it
If the email came in yesterday, was he referring to 5pm friday, not today?
Also, he was giving the location for where it will be Monday morning, but I don't think we're necessarily limited to that area now. It seems like it's kind of out there "on the loose" so to speak for now, and if no one finds it before Monday morning, they will move it...
If we go with the hint Rachel sent Ninja, it was "travelling"... so some kind of major transportation hub maybe?
is there a bus line numbered 29? that may be a stretch, but it's a thought...
Dr No said...
trying to think of any modes of travel that could also be placed in front of a building for 3 hours. Buses are out. Maybe on a taxi?
I don't think it has to be both something travelling and something they can leave on display for 3 hours. I think if it is not found over the weekend, they'll take it down from its current location and hang a sign out in front of the building or something...
Is there a bus or subway that stops near the EW building?
Hell, I DON'T know anything about this game half the time.
I'm pretty close to the airport here in LA, been walking out every few min to look for a banner plane, but nothing so far.... :(

Yes. A severed head with the option of alive or dead.
You heard me!

You in VA somewhere? It's about a 2-hour drive for me too...

UN Secretary-General officially states that Israel broke the UN cease-fire by raiding a Hezbollah stronghold deep inside Lebanon this morning.

GLYPH - What is a glyph?
The term has been used in English since 1727, loaned from glyphe in use by French antiquaries (since 1701), from Greek γλυφη "a carving," from γλύφειν
"to hollow out,
engrave, carve" (cognate to Latin glubere "to peel" and English cleave)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyph
Sigil - What is a sigil?
A sigil (pronounced /'sɪdʒ.ɪl/ or /'sɪg.ɪl/; pl. sigila or sigils) is a symbol created for a specific magical purpose. The term sigil derives from the Latin sigilum meaning "seal," though it may also be related to the Hebrew סגולה (segulah meaning "talisman"). The old norse binding rune is an example of the idea. However, sigila differ from runes as they are designed not to represent an alphabet but are created to form a glyph, composed of a variety of symbols or concepts which carry intent and inherent iconic meaning.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigil_(magic)
can't help it... I'm still thinking Urballoon (featured at Broadbandstories).
Urballoon is an urban media space: a balloon equipped with a projector and wireless connection to the web that enables people to submit content online and broadcast it in public spaces.
The balloon is located in open urban spaces frequented by pedestrians at sunset and night (e.g. plazas, parks). The ball is tethered and floats at a height of approximately 3 stories. The images and text submitted via this site are projected directly below it.
UnCola? (BTW Sprite is a Coke Product)

jewels,
Well I'm hoping the event will be in the evening so I can get up there after work...
So whereabouts are you located? I'm just outside Harrisonburg...
a friend and i are going next friday.....we are thinking about getting are apollo bars, then turning heel and start protesting on them - about how the are part of an evil corp, the candy bars have nanites...the works! Anybody down?
it's a 3hr trip to Tysons Corner from my location....well worth taking off a half a day @ work...!
jewels: yes..for sure...
Hmm, I live in Rockville, MD. I can take the Metro and the bus there in about 45 mins I guess. Posting exact times would help A LOT.
I'm not the type of person who would hang around a mall for a day,
btw, I'm posting from a generic account as I don't have a blogger account
captcha: ffwhcj
i think rachel would want us to protest...
jewels: for sure...i would guess they would be evening times.....
im back home. No glyph... although alot of people asked me whatthe heck TLE is and gave me strange looks. Unfortunately no glyph anywhere.
well luckily my girlfriend was with me and her being a pam was able to explain better then I could to the masses.
okay dinner time
tapdawg, thanks for the effort. much appreciated.

"exposed to the light of day" after 5pm Friday, and on display Monday from 6-9am outside Jeff Jensen's office building...
Does anyone think that checking the 17th floor windows of the building would be possible? I can't help but think maybe Jeff "exposed it to the light of day" by taping it to a window right as he leaves work Friday, showing outward, and then plans on also making a big display right before he goes to work on Monday.
What a crazy clue!
BTW, if anyone's going to that building on Monday morning, you can probably park right behind it in the Pavilions parking lot. It's really hard to find street parking around there. You could also take the 720 or the 20 and end up really close to that building (just across Barrington). I grew up right around there, so let me know you guys have any questions.
Do you think it could be an early Apollo Bar distribution?
How about sunrise at the pier where the Apollo bars will be distributed?
Looks like the excitement is done for today... guess we will hope for something tomorrow LA is "exposed to the light".
Is anyone planning on going to the Cooper Festival in Memphis to get an Apollo Bar? I am in Nashville and am hoping to make the trip (if they don't change all the places and times again before that time!).
There was a "Lost" bus running around Seoul today. They said to go and take pictures to get "gifts".
I just found out about it now, and they were in Insadong (the traditional arts and crafts section of Seoul) like 30 minutes ago.
If one of the glyphs goes missing for a while..it could be from there.
So bummed ...
Tapdawg, Belly,
Shame you did not find anything. Kudos for trying!
I think they are also having a race of some sort. 5k or something on the 15th. I was planning on the 16th, but I hope they don't run out of samples.
I Still think we need someone to go to 11766 Wilshire and check the exterior windows of the 17th floor. Also, maybe go in and check the entrance to Suite 1700.
Jeff Jensen was given this code to get out. I don't think they'd make two big displays of it. More than likely the glyph is right now being "exposed" very simply, and more elaborately on Monday. Jeff is likely working by himself, so think more simply.
I posted before that my husband works in the Time Inc. offices (11766 Wilshire). I can tell you that security won't let you up to EW's floor if you don't have a valid reason for being there. Well, I have a valid reason (visiting my husband!), so I will go on Monday and track down Jeff Jensen myself to ask about clue #29. Hopefully he won't think I'm a stalker.
does anyone have a clue what the rot guys were talking about with" take a tour and listen for a change"
@2costa
I assume it was meant as a clue for VACCINE? As in, don't look for a code, listen for one.
oh vaccine
the one interesting thing about the building... there is a photoshop on the backside of the building... Exposed to light and photo... i thought for sure it be there... alas the man inside just thought i was crazy.
Belly, did the lady tell you i had been there earlier... she didnt mention to me that you had already been there...
LISA---
YOU ROCK!!!
THREE CHEERS FOR LISA!
ONE! TWO! THREE!
WOOO!
Lostpedian---
Posted on the door of a building for 3 hours early in the morning isn't exactly a dramatic display of a glyph.
BELLY0----
You ROCK as well for going around and asking folks.
I still call for the head of Jeff Jensen.
Guys,
is there a Metcalf Avenue in LA?
I wonder if this has any meaning:
http://www.jeep.com/en/compass/interior.html
> Naivgation System
Know where to go. Use the ... Never get lost again. (Late availability)
interesting theory, oodles, Google maps didn't turn up a Metcalf Ave in LA, and searching for those directions, it appears they're for a destination in Overland Park, Kansas.
Good job you guys! Working so hard, but getting no glyph is not fair. But I guess we'll know tomorrow.
Ok on another note- this relates to the Apollo site. I don't know if this was mentioned already or not, but did anyone notice the time discrepancies in the history of M. David Benson? It says he was born in 1938, and that he served in the Korean War. The Korean War lasted from 1950-1953 which means that MDB would have been 12-15 years old when he shared the chocolate with his pals in the foxhole. Then it said that he envisioned the Apollo bar in that foxhole, and that less than 2 years later the vision had become a reality. Then if you go to "the company" story, it says he didn't start the Apollo company until 1962 (at least 7 years after the foxhole experience). Has this been pointed out before? Does it mean anything or do you guys think TPTB just made a mistake?
Thought I'd throw this out there since there isn't too much else going on right now **bummer**
good job everybody, but looks like we have to wait till monday. Scoutpost - Good catch on the apollo site, very strange that they put the incorrect for us to find. I couldn't imagine TPTB mess up like this again...Maybe we are missing something.
See, this is what confuses me today and did even MORE so yesterday.
TPTB give out the glyphs to certain sponsors/participants of the game. Verizon has their outlet (ads and ROT) to give out their clues. Jeep has their's (ads and LYCGU.com). ABC has Times Square/Speaker/Rachel's blog. Austraila has Ninja, etc.
People and EW magazine have had these ads. Because of a publisher deal or because of the obvious high-profile nature of those mags. Jeff "Doc" Jensen gets some glyphs. Because he's a decent-profile level fan, like Jimmy Kimmel? Fine. But how would he or TIME publications display the clue? Something suited towards them.
And since this isn't the FIRST glyph Jeff "Doc" Jensen has given out, WHY DID HE ENTER IT INTO HANSOEXPOSED.COM? He didn't last time. Why this time?
If this is the elusive #29 and Ninja was told that it was "traveling," did Jeff "Doc" Jensen have it ALL THIS TIME and just botch up the release. Is this last minute e-mail and hasty display schedule him trying to make up for a f***-up? A vague clue on DJ Dan's podcast is NOT the same as an equally vague clue sent in an e-mail to a fan-site's admin who didn't think it merited home page space (I agree with that decision, btw. Not being snarky).
I'm going to stop typing this epic now.
SCOUT---
Excellent job. I read that history last night and thought something sounded off about it re: dates. Whoever put that together (creepy lookin' kid on the front page but only a sillouhette of the founder?) did it in a rush it seems.
The depiction of the Apollo Bar creation talks about a recipe for MILK CHOCOLATE. Not DARK chocolate.
As well as the whole story is kinda half-assed stupid. Son of a son of a son. Yeah, my friend knew this guy who's sister's babysitter was Mittlewerk's cousin. Right.
Wow.
I'm really snarky right now.
Can you tell that I have nothing to do right now and didn't get much sleep to boot?
Scoutpost, good observation, I think it has been pointed out on lostpedia before. Don't think it's a f***-**. But whar are they tryng to tell us?
HANSOLOW---
Yeah. From what I could gather, Jeff "Doc" Jensen seems to have been on vacation from EW. Looking at the article publication dates, that is. That's what I'm thinking the "traveling" might have meant. Like, "Once that bah-stahd gets back from his vay-cay then he'll slap it up on the door of his building."
But I could be wrong about that. Someone can check the EW site if they're equally bored as I.
My word verification was "YENTII." Almost the abominable snowman.
OT: WAY off topic actually but, Hansolow...it dawned on me last night, just as I was falling asleep, what your name was. I have been thinking it is Hanso-Low...NOT Han Solo!! Curious what pops into the mind at the verge of sleep, eh!
12oz. mouse-your name is messing up my blogger window:( Wowee is that long!
Hey, 12 oz mouse,
:P
This intellectual statement is brought to you by the rule that I can be snarky about my boredom. Not someone else. Plus I was being slightly sarcastic. I'm surrounded by boxes to unpack and I'm enjoying speculating about this. So I reiterate:
:P
Ah 12 oz mouse.. you're 17. That explains it.
Dude, seriously. Let's bond over our love of TLE and Brendan Small, H. Jon Benjamin, and Mission Hill (humming "Everybody Hurts" to myself while thinking of a shoe).
Where's the love?
Cool. I haven't seen that myspace for Sprite.
Also, didn't realize that Sprite was so risque! Listen to that non-censored song! And I was shy about typing "bastard" here.
Hansolow-It's your glyphs...they make me happy! The ones on your blog that is:) GREAT blog BTW!
Woo-hoo!
My protest pictures got on Speaker's new YE OLDE PHOTOSHOPPE post.
Woop!
HANSOLOW-
Dude. That IS a seriously cool post you got over there.
Great banner too. Wanna make me a banner?
It's too much of a coincidence that someone with the screen name "Jeff Jensen" would publish the ellusive #29.
If I had found it, even by hacking, I'd certainly take the credit for myself.
I want his head on a spike!
Just found out from hubby that his office is literally doors away from the EW editorial offices. So...he'll take me around first thing tomorrow morning for me to be a pest. Let me know if you think of any questions I should ask? Hopefully it will be resolved first thing tomorrow anyway, but just in case.
BTW...if you are there tomorrow...I'll be the one pushing the stroller with twins. :)
And be nice to Mr Jensen in your comments!!! Say it with me...We LIKE Doc, he's our FRIEND.
Belly...if you think, based on your communications with him, it would be inappropriate for me to talk to Jeff Jensen directly, I won't do so tomorrow. I definitely don't want to cross the line, and you are probably right that he doesn't know any more than what he's telling us anyway. He's probably reading this blog anyway so any questions we have will likely be answered in good time. I'm just trying to help any way I can.
TheUnrealCity and Slappy.....I'm in Knoxville, what is the Cooper Young Festival? I looked it up and it seemed like an educational gathering for kids. Do you think that anyone there will know what Lost or the TLE is besides you two (or we three, if I make it there)? Apollo schedule says they will be there on the 15th and 16th. I'd hate to drive all that way on the wrong day, if they will really only be there one day (pertaining to what was said about the 15th being a set-up day). Not sure what to do.
BTW, ditto about the X-rated Sublymonal-Myspace music, cheez-looeez!
Belly0---
I don't really want Jensen's head on a pike. A platter would be fine.
Seriously though, it's all good over-reactionary fun.
And LISA, I think you're the PERFECT person to go and talk to him. If ANYTHING, just meeting him will be good enough and pretty cool. We in the US need more real-life encounters and why not make that happen for ourselves!?!
In-game questions: What did his e-mail mean? Where was it displayed? Did he come up with the display method? What's his opinion on the video? IS IT REALLY HIM ON HE.COM???
Out-game questions:Thank him for the attention paid to TLE and TLEC.com. And what kind of stupid clue was "exposed to the light of day?" And what pisses HIM off about TLE? Does he not like the glyphs? Does he LIKE the glyphs?
But most importantly, just say hi and encourage him to reach out to TLE-ers more. He's welcome here.
i've updated my blog with all the locations for the apollo distribution! I've found out that the old locations are still going to occur! thus, come and RSVP for a location soon!
www.lostoverlost.blogspot.com
re Apollo Bar:
Scoutpost pointed out some inconsistencies above. Another thing:
How did David Benson's mom source Benson chocolate bars during the late 1950s to send to her son and his mates at the front? She was not sent them from Scandinavia I guess, but bought them ("they were expensive, she was poor...").
Hmmm
Is the window for finding the glyph before tomorrow morning closed?
Because there is a business called Sunrise Management Corp. at 10980 Wilshire Blvd. It's just one mile north of the building referenced in the e-mail.
belly you heading to sunset again... if not ill go
HansoLow, that is hilarious. and just as in the realm of possibility as anything else, i think.
Hansolow....oh that's nicely done! But shouldn't Homey be eating a Dharma donut? :-)
"HansoLow said...
I got bored, so I decided to solve the mystery of the "foot statue" from the Season 2 finale:"
Groening first conceived of the Simpsons in the lobby of James L. Brooks' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and had intended to pitch his Life in Hell series. With the realization he would need to rescind his publication rights for his life's work in order to animate
Life in Hell
Groening decided to go in another direction.
Nice Art Work BTW :)
and one more...just for the "heck" of it...
"FROGURT"
Homer: Do you sell toys?
Shopkeep: We sell forbidden objects from places men fear to tread. We also sell frozen yogurt, which I call frogurt.
Homer: Well I need something for my son's birthday.
Shopkeep: Ah, perhaps this will please the gentleman (points to a talking Krusty the Clown doll). Take this object, but beware - it carries a terrible curse.
Homer: Oh, that's bad.
Shopkeep: But it comes with a free frogurt.
Homer: That's good.
Shopkeep: The frogurt is also cursed.
Homer: That's bad.
Shopkeep: But you get your choice of topping.
Homer: That's good.
Shopkeep: The toppings contain potassium benzoate.
Homer: (blank stare)
Shopkeep: That's bad.
Homer: Can I go now?
OK, I was out of town all weekend. To summarize, 44 glyphs have been released; 42 have been found by us; Doc Jensen is supposed to be showing one even though he posted it in HE.com, right?
Is #42 "theflashlight" from the Jeep ad? Not active yet.
Tennis-other than having a really great song on their add...nothing yet from the phone...although CHOCOLATE was a glyph code. Phone or apollo bar...hmmm.
once again if you will be going to a apollo distribution and want to know who else is going then go to my blog at lostoverlost.blogspot.com and sign up for it!
Sorry.
tapdawg,
is it confirmed that the new list of dates is an addition to the old list? Speaker seemed to hint at this in his latest post, but I was wondering if it had been confirmed...
i suspected that the new dates were in addition to the old ones. hopefully that was correct. i think the old ones will be added back in soon.
speaker's exact words to me were "We'd find out monday (American time) what exactly should be happening. And he also basically told me that it was kinda a mistake and these new ones are just additional locations.
alright i gotta get to sleep guys...waking up at 430 tomorrow morning for the glyph hunt... lets pray i get reception with the wireless laptop... otherwise ill be chatting it up with matt and he'll be getting the glyph info on the spot
Bigakaz1.... I agree. Now the barcodes become hiddened with graphics as the page loads. I even tried going to some site to see how to read the barcodes and found out that they should be either 7, 11, or 12 numbers long. Something doesn't seem right with the code on the bar being 6 digits. I also downloaded a little program that makes barcodes and to me ... the lines do not agree with the numbers below.
Has anyone discussed the "I'm / Alvar Hanso" clips? I think it may be a trick where there is another clip that goes inbetween that says something like "John Johnson and I work for" or something to that effect, just to throw us off and think that this is Alvar. Just a thought.
belly will you be coming out tomorrow morning
im leaving at 430 am...
the pavillions doesnt open until 6am... neither does the starbucks... so ill run over there after finding the glyph... hope to get wireless internet and yeah we'll see
Sorry Smokey, I don't have a copy of the mag.
'Lo smokey
Wait a minute - I'm confussled!! I thought Vaccine was #29 - I guess that'll teach me not to sit out and watch and to get involved a bit more!
Has anyone pointed out on Apollo w/s, that in the bottom right corner, the picture of the woman eating the bar appears to have some numbers on the bar
probably miles out! Usually am!
I think I see a 4 and a 7 at the start - but then it could just be that I'm tired! I was sure I saw a Walrus in my room last night! *not to self - Must start going to sleep earlier!!!!*
Thanks paw - I'm up to speed now!
Still no further on Apollo though? My work computer is so awful...
359!!!
360? Oh gosh, I hope so! minnesotawriter, LOL.
Morning all! 7:20am my time...I'm looking forward to following along with tapdawg's adventures today. Go tapdawg! And go Lisa! I hope you guys find the glyph and (respectfully) get some more info out of Jeff Jensen. It has certainly been a strange weekend in L.A. and I'm eagerly anticipating some answers. You guys are awesome for being our eyes and ears in L.A.!!!
Did I miss something this weekend? Meaning...
I was just reading speakers blog and he has a picture of a Chicago protest sign about the canceled apollo bar giveaway date. For the description he wrote, 'When people THOUGHT that some of the Apollo dates had been canceled, KBarrick decided to go protest in front of cameras'
Anyone know if the original dates are still in effect?
anybody check the apollo site lately?
1. many of the graphics are different (the hot air baloon, the birthday cake, the chocolate swirl)
2. If you go to one of the links, say "The Man", and then link to the word Apollo in the upper right, you return to the main screen, but with a UK distribution button instead of a US one - but when I click it it freezes up the site.
Something weird going on there. I know there must be a clue somewhere in the graphics but I dont know what it is.
dazzedelf: -> DC event is friday the 25th..not thurs...a friend and i are going...
morning homies. let's get those glyphs! woo woo! go team TLEC!
So, less than an hour to go before something happens at that address in LA, right? Who's going?
it should be happening now actually, it's past 6am Pacific...
ox, tap is already there, nothing doing though. UnseenPresence from the numbers forum is also there
Good Morning all! I hope we are in for a fun filled week! I see that the "Doc" is now part of this game!! Anyway, just saying morning and then reading the awesome comments from the weekend...
and if I understand communications, David is there too? There is also Sam G from the Fuselage. Still nothing
Wow - that's small smokey - can anyone else see it? looks like 79yas or 79xas to me
ooh, a numbers forum/TLEC/fuselage throwdown perhaps?
lavenda: thanks for pointing that out. i forgot what time zone i was in!
tapdawg, unseenpresence and sam g should have a danceoff for the right to publish whatever they find first!

Here is the url to the full samsonite ad:

and to the code(?) blown up a bit in the upper left corner:

Any chance you can get a better scan of the code(?) at a higher resolution? Also, there is usually a "descreen" option for scanning magazines - see if that helps.
I will be leaving shortly to go directly into the building to track down Jeff Jensen! Gotta wait for my twins to wake up first!! From what my husband says, the editorial staff doesn't get there until late anyway.
Doo-doo-doo-do-doo.
It's 7 am on the West Coast! WTF is going on!
And good morning!
I've been up and about for a couple of hours now so pardon my early morning abbreviated obscenities.
And look at my pic on ITE! NOW! DO IT!

You have twins! Awwww... You talking to Jeff Jensen really is perfect and damn near cinematic (the twins are cute right?).
He** yeah they're cute!! I was going to bake cookies as bribery but didn't have the time. If they're not up in 10 mins, I'm waking them up...
you're right, smokey, it does look like TBWA\
so they're an ad agency?
just thinking aloud here...
...a new clue will be exposed to the light of day in the greater Los Angeles area....
Apollo = Greek god of light
Apollo, the Sun god, brings life-giving heat and light to Earth
ah, well... it didn't seem like a Samsonite ad would be in-game anyway. Good eye, though, smokey!
Lisa---
shake the kids awake!
"We've got EW pop culture reporters to interrogate! Wake up!"
Very cinematic indeed.
Cute-ee twins... Awwww..

TBWA is the new name for Chiat Day! They changed their name a while back. Someone go to the Chiat Day building in Venice, and the *new* TBWA/Chiat Day building in Marina del Rey!
Kids are up, leaving as soon as I can get them dressed. Will post from the office.
ok, tapdawg got in touch through Yahoo chat conference, he said the code was on the side of a car... think he said he saw the car had something on the side then had to follow it around the corner to actually get the code
dazzedelf: -> Apollo site only says friday....Are YOu IN?
New Code found at ITE!!!
esj4x6ebnc
It's another segment about the facility.
dazzedelf:-> it's Jonah btw....Where are coming from? - i got a 3 hr drive to get there....we are thinking about protesting them...
sorry... brain going 100 miles an hour and I'm tired, not a good combination!
the code "esj4x6ebnc" was on the side of a car that drove past the building with the EW offices. I'm sure tap will be in with full details and pics later. There are no new names on the leaderboard, noone has an extra code to what they had before so this was #29
GOOD, I can go to bed now!
"...all of the support you will need, including regular medicine and food drops will be made in perpetuity."
very interesting. so hanso set up the drops to continue ad infinitum. that explains why the drops continue in the show regardless of whether thf thinks anyone is on the island or not.
New post! Race you there!
Morning all - so what was the glyph that tapdawg found? Also I maybe (that's a big maybe) able to get to the Tysons Corner event, just depends on the time.
ITE? I've missed something what is ITE?
so...assuming no reason for me to drive up there now?
Ninja has updated his blog with pics from tapdawg

I'm sure you guys are way ahead of me here, but the jeep compass has a removemable flashlight as one of it's features. I am poking around Jeep.com to see of there is a hiny of a glyph or code.
Anyone else check this out since the add gives "theflashlight" as a clue?
Lisa... you can still hassle Jeff if you want to...
