I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but here are a few more things related to Act II:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

When I went to the Curiosity Shop to acquire the WSPS letter, the girl working there took notice of the Radio Nonchalance map in my hand and said, "one of my good friends drew that." After I informed her that the map is a truly killer piece of artwork (especially considering that I thought the "transcripts" would be just that: textual transcripts, and not a fully realized, frame-able map of awesomeness), she said "it took him over a month to draw that!" I asked for his name so I could look online to see his other work, and she told me that his name was Loren Purcell. A quick Google led me to his site where you can see some of his other works. I'd love to buy some of his prints when his new site goes up. If you desire, you can check out his stuff here: http://www.lorenpurcell.com/portfoliopage.htm Also, when I asked about the WSPS letters, she said that there is a girl that is contracted by the Nonchalants to create the letters for them. As you can imagine, she has a site where you can order your own super-small letters to send to whomever you like. I'm thinking about buying a few to send as Christmas Cards with the return address as being from The Grinch, and when you open the letter, it will only say, "Bah Humbug." Cheesy? Of course. Best card ever? Absolutely. You can check out the World's Smallest Postal Service by going here: http://www.worldssmallestpostalservice.com At the end of the day, this "game" is insanely satisfying in a variety of ways. If the producers intended the game to be a fun, exciting way to provoke deep thought, open your mind to different ideologies and mythologies, and stimulate real conversation about the local art scene and expose people to the wealth of talent in San Francisco that you wouldn't necessarily be exposed to, then hey, they're doing their job in spades. On the off-chance that anyone involved in this experience reads these messages: where can I send a thank you card? I just happen to know a girl that makes the most adorable cards in town.

i found a youtube channel after watching the latest EPWA video. it seems to be a promotional channel about nonchalance. here's their 'ad' video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyyH5tvkfes as well as a sort of music video dedicated to Eva and the videos they shot of her (one of which, where they're pointing out the glyphs over by the Neil estate, isn't something i've seen before. maybe i missed it on the act 3 map?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5deA9GqYJ0s their professional site seems to have been hidden under our noses: http://www.about.nonchalance.com/

indeed nonchalance used to be an art collaborative that worked with oaklandish. you can see their original site if you use the way back machine at archive.org this was one of the first things i did when i learned about this being an ARG.

here's some META concerning Eva's Journal:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The weird writing at the end of the journal is most likely a dead end. Comparing the writings between the journal and the Codex reveal the writing in the journal is merely snippet segments stole from the codex, changed slightly, and then flipped upside down. it's not supposed to make sense at all. also remember we noticed some backwards writing on the backside of two pages? well as i was transcribing them it hit me that i had read the words before. They're pre-written transcripts. scripts for the journal written by the PM's in advance. i guess they needed paper to separate one page from another so that it wouldn't bleed through and warp multiple pages and by using the script it rubbed off onto the back of the images. the text itself is merely what was written only a few pages previous.

well to be fair that's an artists rendition. Trey and Cornelius don't really look like their cartoon poster counterparts.
