Morning all, just checking in for the big day. Aja, this is so cool that you are going to retrieve the drop. Have a great day! Do you have an operator? I don't see anyone in chat yet?

Sorry for the double post, but crap - there's a new vid on youtube and it's not playing for me and I don't have time to sit around and wait for it. Damn. Anyway, good luck guys.


Aja, stay in touch with your operator. We can watch the video and work out the location in chat. Your operator can keep you informed of what we figure out.

From the video, it looks like the drop may be at the clock tower shown at the end of the video - perhaps under a bench like the one shown just before the end?



It's on the corner of North Pacific Avenue and Water street. I'll try to check back here in a few hours, but I have to go for a bit. Good luck!

We'll miss you TOSG! Hurry back!

Anyone who wants to help figure out the drop location -

watch the drop video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKtgjeuwrXw

and log into mIRC #FacilityJ. Seems like most of the regulars are out this weekend. We can definitely use some help!

If you look closely at the aerial photo in the vid, you can read "Steinhart way" along one of the streets, just so happens the university is here, if you google for a map youll see it looks almost identical. Shots of the bench from the video and pics from the benches at ucsc are also very much alike. a look at the map of ucsc shows that the aerial view is just outside the thimann labs on campus. My money says this is where our drop is.

Agreed. The sequence of shots immediately before the envelope is a building on campus (I think Sinsheimer labs) and then a bench outside of it. This is also the region of campus featured in the map in the video (also the single-frame splash for the video). And Sinsheimer is where the department of Molecular and Cell Biology is.

If I had pick one place to wait all day, it would be there.

Swing the image around to the left, you can see the building from jays video in the background, and also some more shots of the benches Smile

Edit: Looking closer this is the exact bench in jays video...check the trees in the background. You think that he used to the virtual tour thing to make the video?

NICE! That was exactly what I was looking for, and not finding. I even tried calling some of my friends who went there as undergrads, but they were all still sleeping...****ing slackers.

Good eye, I think he probably did. Getting exactly the same angle and lighting (look at the bushes to the left of the bench) would be next to impossible otherwise, as that would depend both on time of day and time of year.

Hey guys! I'm on the phone with Aja right now. She is almost to the drop. I am going to be updating live in IRC as the drop progresses, but I will also keep all information updated in the first post of this thread. Please keep an eye on that post Smile
