Deagol gets the credit for the original idea, all I did was apply it.

He noticed that all the notes seem to fall into 2 octaves. Since they don't fit into any major, minor, or pentatonic scale, we figured it must be chromatic. That's 12 tones per octave, in case you're not musically inclined.

So.. 12 tones per octave times 2 octaves = 24 tones. Deagol suggested that each tone may correspond to a letter, meaning 24 letter available. The problem was where to start counting. What note = the letter A?

I figured it might be the low e, since that's the lowest note you can play on a guitar without changing the tuning.

So counting up by half step, starting with the low E, each note ends up "translating" to a number between 1 and 24.

E=1, F=2, Gb=3, G=4, Ab=5, A=6 and so on.

This is what you end up with:
19 20 3 4 19 20 8 9 14 7 15 14 3 8 5 3 11 15 14 5

and then each number matches up to a letter in the aphabet

1=a, 2=b, 3=c, up to 26=z

so those numbers translate to...

s t h i s t h i n g o n c h e c k o n e

"s this thing on check one"

Obviously it looks like there is an "i" missing from the front there. I would be a 3 on the 5th string. So at Deagols request, I looked back, and extremely faint, on the red edge of the book cover, is a reeeeeeeely small smudge that looks nothing like 3. But is in the right place. So if it were a 3, then the message would be:

"Is this thing on check one"

which does make more sence.

Nice work, everyone. "Is this thing on? Check one."

So, so far we have parts relating to fish/diner (Finney's in the Dr Seuss verse), wine/winery (crossed out on the envelope), and a musical gig/concert ("check one". Oh, plus an infinity symbol.

Anything else? How could it all go together?

Edit: I forgot the armless stick man standing next to a car.

Drive-by stickman amputee!

I'm off to bed. Good job skunk!

First off, EXCELLENT job guys!

Secondly, perhaps it refers to the place where the next drop will be? A seafood place, famous for it's fine wines, that usually has some kind of performers (musical, comedians, whatever) present. Or it could be something else entirely, I don't know.

Great Job Guys! Is there a better picture of the words on the top?

It would be winery. Because the plural is wineries.

To me it looks like there is typing on the otherside of the scanned image.



Ill also stand by the fact that our stick man was dropped off. I think zippy wants a meeting with madison. Also notice there is a v coming from the headlight of the car. Lights on = night.

I thought the armless, one-foot-missing stick man is the kind you draw when playing hangman.

I think that is what we are trying to figure out. We have fish, wine (most likely white or blush its better with fish. ), and a guy or place named Finney.
