Corbin Bowl or should I say... "Pins and Pints"

why is everyone jumping on me like a pack of wolves? im just trying to drum up some reaction, and try to put a little more twist in the story...

I find it funny that some people get all bent out of shape, because someone is trying to put their two cents worth in...

No one is jumping on you, it really is a simple explanation, so we are tying to explain it to you.

I don't spend much time being serious here, so it may be difficult for some to tell that this is a serious post. ladron121's reputation probably speaks for itself, but you can look at his drop videos from last year's drops. Then, take a look at the record left by OpAphid. It will be easy to see that they do correlate.

Without making him blush, I tell you now that no finer individual visits this forum than ladron121. Again, don't take my word for it. Compare the data yourselves:

ladron121's YT page:

OpAphid's YT page:

Oppy clearly references him and others who successfully retrieve drops. There is nothing to disbelieve here. ladron121 picked up Daniel's fake ID. Nikki admitted she had the wrong bowling alley to begin with.

Nikki B didn't find anything at the location she went to....maybe she was at the wrong place.

Okay...I had to run to the drugstore for some meds for the hubby who has the flu. On my way back, I stoppd at the Corbin Bowl and snapped some shots. I'm uplaoding them now...it was definitely all at shot at the Corbin Bowl.

But, interestingly enough...the dude in the video? I think he likes Pistachios...

All will be revealed.

Uploading photo's of the interior of a bowling alley isn't conclusive. Bowling alleys are notoriously similar to each other. I imagine that two bowling alleys, even hours from each other, could have the same decor.

The buildings were probably built by the same contractor, and have the same materials used in construction, same floor plan, etc.

Of course, someone may visit the Yokayo Bowl and prove otherwise....

Well, my photos are of the exterior...

OKay...here are photos...all exterior shots, since it was 1am when I took them:

bethy's pics do appear to be interesting evidence that the two bowling alleys are not the same.

That's actually sad. It doesn't say anything negative about ladron121. We have seen OpAphid's confirmation of his drop recovery. It merely points out an inconsistency between the filming of the series and a drop in the ARG. It is an inconsistency which probably should have been avoided.

Well, the ARG drops, except for one...have all pretty much been in Nothern California. That means that the people running the ARG live up there, I'm sure.

All of the LG15 videos have been shot in Southern California...mostly in the Valley area. That doesn't mean there's a problem in the story...it just means that the ARG is set elsewhere.

IN the story...we know the Jonas lives quite a distance from Bree/Daniel. It makes sense that their in Northern California. It doesn't make sense to relocate the actors, though...so they just use sets down this way. I don't see it as any big deal really.

This video was clearly shot outside the Corbin Bowl, no doubt about it. But there's no harm in thinking of it as Pins and Pints in some other city.

Just as long as we have debunked the theory that ladron121 might have done anything "bogus," I'm as happy as I can be.

bethy · Post by **bethy** » Tue Jan 30, 2007 5:11 am

No, Lad didn't do anything bogus...he drove quite a ways to retrieve the drop. He's retrieved several drops in the past. Plus, he taped the entire thing:

Even if the bowling alley the drop was at is different to the actual one everything is filmed at...I think this is where we stop and figure out the truth from the storyline. Like said above, that bowling alley is far from the area where Bree and Daniel are meant to live. That's what made that location fit with the storyline.

That is why the drop was there...it matched the storyline.

The one local to where everything was being filmed was just used as a set.

Although the characters were at one place, us viewers following the storyline are to believe they were somewhere else.

Of course that means that Daniel and Bree's story isn't real...but we knew this from the beginning

and yes, that is just how the story goes.

I guess I look at things as a whole picture... If Oppys and The Creators story lines jived it would be cool... but they don't... I mean, the only reason i brought this up is because it did catch my attention... I seen that the two locations are far apart and it made my mind think.. hmm.. something is wrong here, is someone trying to "bait" Bree and Dan to northern CA.. Twist in story line.. that kinda of deal...

Its like bethy posted pictures of Corbin Bowl also... I guess its my point of view in reading way too far into the story...

itsreallyreal · Post by **itsreallyreal** » Tue Jan 30, 2007 9:56 am

OK... SO even with all that has been discussed here I would like to say a couple things to bring the thread into focus maybe?

1 - Yeah the creators are just using a local bowling alley to represent the one in Ukiah... It just makes sense... Don't look too deep into it... I don;t think it is a matter of debate...

2 - Nikki IS IN THE SAME BOWLING ALLEY that was in this latest video.. No question... If you look at the animal grab machine and MORE importantly the SIGN above it... they are one in the same!

3 - Nikki is HOT on their trail... We need to keep an eye on her vids too...
