We have a drop guys, lets solve it here and leave Gemma speculation to it's own thread. ^_^

Tachyon's Profile wrote:Hmm.

Sometimes a place we've been gets tagged in our memory. If we can weed through the clutter and make the right connection, perhaps it's a good idea to revisit the scene of that previous experience.

The hard part can be recalling the exact spot though... and sometimes the connection that makes it all click will just pop into your head randomly (say, at 4 minutes to the hour, perhaps). So long as you're certain, the end result of this process is often quite rewarding.
The Vid said she would be revisiting old drop sites, right? So, I'm assuming the drop could be anywhere at those sites.

Would make sense with the tags being "seen any good movies lately" as well as all the movie references. But I don't know where they'd begin to look. Is that what we're solving the puzzle to find out? (finals have sapped my brain of logic!)

Early this morning (I want to say 2:30am PST), Archetype and Noava22 went to La Cienaga Park.

What happened was Archetype was around when the latest video came out. When asked about the "4 minutes to the hour," she told acidfingers (I think?) that it could be mistaken as 55 rather than 56. The movie we had for :55 was Heathers. When I listed off places Heathers was filmed, Archetype thought it would be La Cienaga for sure. He left, with FallingIntoSin as his operator.

Noava22 came in and found out and decided he wanted to beat Archetype there. I (diastres) acted as his operator.

(From here on out, I'm using Noa and arche.)

Noa got there first and waited around for arche. When arche got there ^Minty^ (MintGurl) sent Tachyon a PM on YouTube saying they were there. Arche and Noa found some tarot cards in the dirt (which will be explained later).

The same phone as the first drop rang. It was USA Today. It's Brother.

"Aliens land on the earth and they are going to blow it up in two days. What do you do?"

This was from the movie Heathers. We gave them the answer.

"I'd give it all to the homeless. Every cent..."

Brother asked about Tachyon and where she was (surprise surprise). When they ask about the tarot cards, Brother has no clue. He says he only has a small "window of opportunity" (WarGames reference?) to talk. Supposedly he hints at a large drop. (I don't know the details. They were on the phone with Brother and Falling, not me.)

Meanwhile, Minty was pming back and forth with Tachyon, getting a boatload of Heathers quotes. Eventually it came down to "Ich luge" - "I'm lying." Tachyon eventually said that she wasn't a liar, but whoever said to go to the park was.

Tachyon also said she did not leave tarot cards. She is not wiccan and she does not like tori amos.

Simply put: the tarot cards are not in game.

I don't know if Noa and arch kept them. They went to bed quickly, I believe. I don't blame them, either.

Special thanks to MaxZyrix for spelling La Cienaga for me.

The Phoenix Theatre is in Petaluma, right?

Good had some solid connections for "Heathers" and each term in quotes ("The Phoenix Theatre" and "Petaluma").

Is there any more direct link to a drop site for that movie?

The video clues lead me here:

With the text in the golden gate park shots "Nothing is Static" and "Ive been Hiding Out" make me beleive it isn't there, then with the bakwards bowling shots, make me beleive it would be in the location before that one...

My guess is the Phoenix Theatre (in petaluma)

espcially with the placement of Tag, Your It

But the with the profile clue...

The 4 minutes to the hour line seems to reference Heathers as Acid had confirmation in an email that the Heaters time was :56

Tachyon also confirmed in an YT msg to Ziola that Heathers is the movie she is referencing...

Although Heathers was filmed in LA...

i'm dumb

Maybe it's where the fake high school is in Heathers. Or maybe they shot it in a suburb near petaluma?

Via google I found an article talking about Heathers being performed as a play at the Phoenix...

http://winona-ryder-news-channel.org/?p=95

And from WIKI about Winona Ryder:

At the age of ten, Ryder and her family moved on again to Petaluma, California. During her first week at the local junior high school she was bullied by a group of thugs who mistook her for an effeminate, scrawny boy. As a result, she ended up being homeschooled that year. Nevertheless, around this time, she started attending the American Conservatory Theater in nearby San Francisco, where she started taking her first acting lessons.

Could there be a correlation with the number of clips from each drop?

First three from the windmill drop
then four fron the bridge drop
... six in the theatre drop
... finally five from the Sea Bowl drop. (the first three of the five were backwards, but why not the last two?)

they are static shots... so there is no way to tell really...

Hmmm... maybe I should go watch "Heathers" again, sometime soon... :-k

I thought the "Tag You're It" shot was from the Golden Gate drop? Wasn't that American Flag next to a fountain there? Or am I just really confused?
