|

Alright we think we got enough infomation now. heres a little list of it all
Join us in IRC #Maddison now
Red Revolver of the forums will be retriving
Loobylou wil be operating at current.
red will be setting out in a few minutes
Quote: | Gershwin's low cloudville - Sun is shining 113-119 - Beans, CDs from New Orleans - No lifts - Beneath a rear table top - Hurry! |
first we have the lyrics of the song from the coco drop
Quote: | Lyrics:
A foggy day, in London town
It had me low, and it had me down
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
The British Museum, had lost its charm
How long I wondered, could this thing last
But the age of miracles, it hadn't past
And suddenly, I saw you standing right there
And in foggy London town, the sun was shining everywhere |
the brittish musium is very close to Rays Jaz store.
<Zane> low cloudville we confirmed as referance to london fog
<Zane> gerswin is played by a jaz band that has beans in their name
<Zane> cds from new orleans was the start which led us to a tin pan festival
<Zane> in new york and london
<Zane> tinpans used in regge jazz and the like
<Zane> we checked for shops and found the myspace
<RedRevolver> There is a cafe.
<RedRevolver> Which sells coffee.
<RedRevolver> So coffee beans?
<silverblue> Ray's Jazz Cafe (inside Foyles bookshop on Charing
Cross Road but has its own entrance staircase direct from the street too).
Theretore no need for lifts becuase you can enter the jazz store itself.

Ray's Jazz in on the first floor ("no lifts") of a bookstore located at 113-119 Charing cross road. Ray's could be referring to sun rays ("sun is shining"). |

Yep -
'Gershwin's low cloudville' is London. He wrote a song called 'A Foggy Day' about London in the film 'A Damsel in Distress' with Frank Sinatra.
'Sun is shining' is also a lyric from 'A Foggy Day'
'113-119' - Foyles bookshop is on 113-119 Charing Cross Road, London.
'Beans, CD's from New Orleans' - Rays jazz cafe is on first floor of bookshop. Beans=coffee, New Orleans=jazz.
'No lifts' - cafe can be accessed separately from bookshop. _________________ Can't we all just get along? |

11:42 looby phone reception is awful!!
11:43 kelseygirl15 Clara are you excited..because I am.
11:44 amblyopianne not really - kind of unsettled to be honest
11:44 looby on the right street
11:44 siilverblue clara, do you have any thoughts on who could be leaving these drops?
11:45 amblyopianne i guess its frady from before the murders
11:45 krmurr01 yeah but he didn't travel to London before the murders did he?
11:45 siilverblue i guess the police would know if he'd traveled there
11:45 Lola12 warpylol is UK based
11:45 amblyopianne i dont think so - maybe its some sort fo video murder syndicate
11:46 looby just passing number 51!
11:46 looby 51 charing cross road - looking for 113
11:47 looby quite warm now - not raining anymore she says
11:47 Zane thats good reception any better?
11:47 looby reception not bad
11:48 amblyopianne how big is this jazz place?
11:48 looby big enough to be number 113-119
11:48 amblyopianne that doesnt help me
11:48 Zane its 4-5 stories
11:49 looby sorry Clara, it's big _________________ my love tastes a lot like tofu.

11:49 looby she sees the store
11:50 siilverblue http://www.urban75.org/london/images/jan-2007-17.jpg
11:50 amblyopianne not very big from that pic
11:50 looby cafe busy!
11:50 krmurr01 does it really matter clara
11:50 amblyopianne just curious
11:51 looby hope noones at the table!
11:51 looby looking.................
11:52 siilverblue picture of the tables in foyle's cafe: http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cafe/1o42f7z/foyles-cafe#
11:53 looby about 5 or 6 tables in cafe taken - she's going to sit with a coffee and wait
11:53 looby She'll call me back when she can check the others
11:55 looby yep nothing under the empty tables
11:56 amblyopianne does it ever happen that you need one puzzle to solve fully the others
11:56 BrookNYSE we dont know clara
11:57 BrookNYSE there are several not fully solved
11:57 marlasinger Clara
11:57 marlasinger That's a big problem.
11:57 krmurr01 the drops say hurry so we hurry even if they're not fully solved to the next one
11:57 amblyopianne ok
11:57 marlasinger With Maddison we had drop locations solved so quickly that we didnt have time to solve the puzzles fully before getting the next puzzle. They all sort of piled up.
11:57 BrookNYSE we need to look into that when we are able too

12:00 acidfingers did you handcuff yourself to his desk?
12:00 acidfingers until he spoke with you
12:00 amblyopianne sort of - he never looked up from his work
12:00 deagol clara, you don't think unlikely that all these drops are setup by one lone guy?
12:00 amblyopianne i dont know deagol - seems plausible
12:00 krmurr01 seems to be a common accurence...why is it that no one seems to want to give you any info clara?
12:01 amblyopianne people are busy kr
12:01 amblyopianne i think my typing has gotten faster
12:01 amblyopianne
12:01 marlasinger holy crap did Clara just...SMILE!?
12:01 amblyopianne i smile all the time
12:01 BrookNYSE IRC smile clara
12:01 BrookNYSE thats a first for you I think
12:01 BrookNYSE congrats
12:02 kelseygirl15 now you're one of us. lol.
12:02 marlasinger I'm teasing Clara, you're awesome. I bet you have a lovely smile, we just haven't been able to see it.
12:02 amblyopianne peer pressure's a bitch
12:01 acidfingers What about your tolerance level for reading?
12:02 amblyopianne i still only read every third word or so
12:02 andrewbeast you'll get it
12:02 andrewbeast hang in there
12:02 marlasinger Looby
12:02 marlasinger you okay?
12:03 looby yep marla
12:03 deagol clara, i read every 3rd or 4th word as well
12:03 looby I'm just waiting waiting waiting
12:04 looby poor red - she's having to hang around until people leave the tables
12:04 looby I think I would just say excuse me and barge in for a look _________________ my love tastes a lot like tofu.

12:04 looby but that;s easy for me to say sitting here in the comfort of my own home!
12:04 amblyopianne is she taping or shooting pictures?
12:05 amblyopianne lie and say she lost something important
12:05 amblyopianne it works to get a closer look at cute boys too
12:05 looby she hasn't found anything and wants to go home
12:05 kelseygirl15 Clara
12:05 kelseygirl15 you are becoming more awesome by the second
12:06 BrookNYSE no kidding
12:06 amblyopianne i guess
12:06 looby she won't answer the phone
12:06 looby texting her to ask her to stay
12:07 looby if she stays, we can help
12:07 looby but she won't answer!!
12:07 looby aaaaaaaargh!
12:07 amblyopianne does this girl even want to go
12:07 marlasinger Clara we'd never ever ask someone to go if they didn't volunteer.
12:08 looby i'm calling
12:08 looby it;s ringing _________________ my love tastes a lot like tofu.

12:08 kelseygirl15 yeah you said you were having connection issues when she was on her way there..
12:08 krmurr01 maybe it's really crowded in there or soemthing isn't right
12:08 looby call won't connect now
12:09 marlasinger absolutely. She travelled that whole way - she won't leave without a really good reason. It's just her phone, I'll hypothesize.
12:09 deagol yeah calm down everyone, no need to panic
12:09 looby damn phone won't connect _________________ my love tastes a lot like tofu.

12:10 looby I just keep getting 'call failed'
12:10 looby Ive tried with my mobile and house phone so can't be a prob at my end
12:10 silverblue we can wait
12:10 mvidrine I guess shes annoyed by having trek all over london looking for the drop
12:10 amblyopianne i would be
12:10 giddeanx no she went there for a reason I wouldnt leave until it got a good going over
12:11 looby dammit - she's switched her phone off now
12:11 looby this sucks
12:11 marlasinger Clara - you also wouldn't volunteer for somethign like this to begin with darling
12:11 amblyopianne true
12:11 looby i want to give red the benefit of the doubt - maybe something spooked her _________________ my love tastes a lot like tofu.

12:11 looby anyone else in london willing to give it a go??
12:11 silverblue maybe her battery died?
12:12 marlasinger No worries, guys. This will work out. Wait until we hear from her, okay?
12:12 looby no - the message says it's been switched off
12:12 stingray15 are we sure - red is safe?
12:12 stingray15 aren't we suppose to ensure red is safe?
12:12 BrightSilence It could just have no signal or a dead battery
12:12 amblyopianne be funny if she didnt pay her bill
12:13 looby hilarious clara
12:13 amblyopianne ive been there - i can relate
12:13 looby I don't like it that she just became unavailable
12:13 looby she was available all the way to the store - seems strange it's not now
12:13 marlasinger when you were on the phone with her, looby
12:13 BrightSilence What was the last thing she said?
12:13 marlasinger what did she sound like? did she just hang up on you?
12:14 looby she said she would hang around to check out the busy tables and call me back
12:14 looby then she just texted me to say there was nothing there and she was going home
12:14 looby I tried lots of times to call, but no reply
12:14 looby then it said her phone was switched off
12:14 looby and she's not answered my texts
12:14 amblyopianne she probably got overwelmed
12:15 looby Quote - "There wasn't anything. I'm going home now."
12:15 looby I thought if she hung around we could help, but she wouldn't answer
12:15 BrookNYSE she didnt wait for a reply?
12:15 BrightSilence damn, that doesn't sound good
12:15 looby nope
12:16 stingray15 why would someone drop it so easily with out discussing it? did she understand how this works?
12:16 amblyopianne id do the same
12:16 Lola12 maybe we should repost the drop guidelines from Opaphid
12:17 acidfingers you gotta know your limits
12:18 stingray15 she should have confirmed the drop was ending - or at least the text was received
12:18 marlasinger Clara, again, you wouldn't do this to begin with. Okay, ladies - from here on in, when theres a drop, I don't care if you're a seasoned Maddison helper or not, the guidelines for drop protocols are being read to you. Poor Red, I hope she's okay. Looby you let us know if you hear from her.
12:18 BrookNYSE alright true, but she shouldnt have volunteered if she wasnt up to iy
12:18 looby She sounded apprehensive the whole time
12:18 deagol well, that text was pretty clear to me she was ending it
12:18 looby But I thought maybe we just weren't sure what to talk about!!
12:18 amblyopianne was she a friend of maddison's
12:18 silverblue i want to give red a hug
12:18 acidfingers Deagol, this london song that people are saying was from the drop....is it actually from the drop?
12:19 deagol the foggy day song?
12:19 looby Acid 'A foggy day in London' is Gershwin's low cloudville.
12:19 deagol it's from gershwin
Red when you're home and reading this, make sure we know you're safe and sound. From here on in we're going to brief every drop retriever in the communication that needs to be maintained in order to ensure a smooth drop. We love you Red! Thank you for going out there, you're awesome. _________________ my love tastes a lot like tofu.

12:27 looby I'm still sure it's the right place
12:27 looby Absolutely positive
12:27 yak It has to be
12:27 looby I think if Red was spooked, she possibly didn't look so hard?
12:29 looby if we still need someone, I could go tomorrow, but not until around 3pm
12:33 marlasinger Let's not call and ask for strangers to look for unmarked packages in london. Blair will kill us.
12:34 andrewbeast blar's not pm anymore!
12:34 amblyopianne i have a friend in London . . . but i so dont want to call him
12:34 marlasinger oh right LMAO go MARLA
12:34 looby gordon brown's the new pm
12:34 BrookNYSE Clara you are positive you dont want to?
12:35 amblyopianne then i have to explain to him about all this... and he'll think im nuts
12:35 JenniPowell Clara: could you just say it's for a school project?
12:35 amblyopianne i guess
12:35 stingray15 I like the idea of keeping this to LG15 fans
12:36 amblyopianne me too sting
12:36 JenniPowell Clara: or we can wait until tomorrow and try to figure something else out _________________ my love tastes a lot like tofu.
