I wonder if there are any good webcams for any of these areas.
I looked around a little, but didn't find any good candidates.

How cool to actually watch the meet if that's what;s going to go down.

Maybe your question is the reason we were blessed with the web cam, Rogi.

[Law of Five]

Hopefully some of the seekers will have photo (or webcam?) capability too. Here's my prediction: you won't get to see what you want (or expect) to see on the vibration13 cam on Sunday. And after you've seen what Islington wants you to see, you won't be sure what it is you've been looking at.

It's how the game is played, deeper and deeper

the keyword is wishlington (well done thatdeaddude bloody good job)

[Shyshdy]

yes, he did a wonderful job, and tha u TDD, ur awesome for having done what we all wished we could have. I do think the first meeting was inteded to get graeme out of the house so islington could leave him stuff safely. Anyways, do we have an erica here? anyone? it looks like it says erica on the cover of book zero. We may need to get someone more involved than they have been until now.........

[Law of Five]

Summing up from chat:

1. If going to the meet, we need our own solid ID (address and photo) so that Iz knows who we are.
2. Jackalope has the map with the starting point (but will he back on the net in time? We think he's offline for the weekend...)
3. The Full Moon morning may be Monday 17th, the morning of the day that the Full Moon rises at 5pm, or else it's Tuesday 18th, which is the first morning after the Full Moon rose. Here's hoping it's Tuesday! Remember Orkid's Texas time of 01:38am = 08:38am in London, but it was on the 17th!
4. Iz in base 36 = 0683 in base 10.
5. DeadDude's going to post some cam pics of what he got from Toby at the monument in Islington: apparently -
• an audience feedback form from the Old Red Lion Theatre
• a bus ticket saying 'County Hall' on it (route 341)
• torn flyer for 'The Return' by Reg Cribb [url]http://www.doollee.com/PlaywrightsC/CribbReg.htm[/url] Seems it's about:
Late on a stifling hot night, the close confines of a suburban Perth train become a claustrophobic and bitter psychological battleground. Steve and Trev are two social misfits who have never had 'a fair go'. When Lisa, a beautiful young woman, gets on the train the two thugs vie for her attention, through various boisterous antics, which while comical are still somehow disturbing. The journey rides the uneasy line between comedy and terror as the two thugs turn on the handful of commuters. The pressure cooker situation threatens to explode as they near their Fremantle destination, but by the journey's end the line between aggressor and victim has become blurred. Just who is terrorizing whom? A web of intrigue and power which will keep audiences guessing all the way.

Mystical Memes Echoing Through STC, August 16, 2005
Reviewer: William Benzon (Jersey City, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
Early in the 20th century one John Livingston Lowes examined books Coleridge is known or likely to have read - either because it is explicitly referenced in Coleridge's notes or because it is very much like something Coleridge has referenced and was likely available to him at the time - and found passages similar to lines and phrases in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and in "Kubla Khan." Lowes then reproduced these passages, some at considerable length, and provided suitable contextual and connective tissue relating them to Coleridge's interests and habits and, of course, to his poems. He published the results of his labors in The Road to Xanadu. I agree with the modern judgment that Lowes' investigation into Coleridge's notebooks and library tells us relatively little about how Coleridge's poems work in our minds and hearts, nor is his loose associationist psychology very convincing.
Nonetheless, I find Lowes' work quite fascinating. What interests me is what interested Lowes, that fragments of ideas and wording somehow found their way from texts dating back to the 17th century and into Coleridge's poems. Those poems then served as a vehicle for further dissemination of some of those fragments. We can thus think of them as memes in Richard Dawkins' rather casual and controversial formulation.

Will do some homework on these, but for now, Jackalope - we need you!

Starting to suffer from info overload,

Law of Five

PS why is no-one else posting or working on this???

[Law of Five]

Information drops from the heavens like rain...

More on London Bus Route 341 - it goes on this route:

Lea Valley Tesco - Northumberland Park Station - Tottenham - Philip Lane - Harringay - Manor House - Newington Green - Islington - Holborn Circus - Aldwych - Waterloo County Hall

Maybe Toby used it to get to the Paine Monument...

(info from http://www.londonbusroutes.net/routes.htm)

Or maybe we will be using it on the Full Moon morning...

Headed towards county hall appears stage 11's around newington green road. But that would leave 28 in a seemingly unrelated place...

It's also Scandinavian for "Complete Ruler".

It's my middle name too, but I know it has nothing to do with me.

Moongazer:

1. Why the 1.30 p.m. meeting didn't happen.
Dunno, but 13:13 Texas time (Orkid's time) =7:13pm London time, and it was always a long shot.

2. What exactly did happen at 6.30 p.m.
DeadDude still hasn't given a full account, but apparently he discovered the key written on something at the Paine monument which had appeared before in the webcam pics (the orb thing, roll of tape etc.) He was given some stuff by Toby (see my post in the Legwork thread). The main thing to be gleaned here is that SOMETHING ACTUALLY WENT DOWN AT 18:30 (=1790), so the game is ON!

3. The new meeting at 1.30 a.m.?
Probably another Texas time, = 8:30am in London. Could be Monday or Tuesday am. (see my post on Legwork)

4. All the new frame pictures from the front page, and what we are supposed to do with them.
Not sure. Certainly a St Pancras link for sure, but still waiting on Jackalope for definite location info.

5. Jackalope's book, plus pictures.
Interesting, getting a copy myself, but too soon to tell. May not be Book Zero -related, might be for later. Certainly gave us the link to the Godden Foundation, which Toby may or may not (doh! link on Jack's page) have wanted to bring up.

6. Info from Graeme, re. email, answermachine, and book, plus pictures.
See my post in [Mail from Islington]. Intriguing pics of Toby's weekend in London, containing clues. Answer machine message has a location. And book is Swansea-related poetry.

7. Info from DeadDude re. meeting, book, pictures, & everything else.
He's posted pics and I've posted connections and speculations in the Legwork thread. Bus 341 may be a hot connection.

8. Updates on all the other forums, links, etc.
I know what you mean. I have WORK to do today and I'm still falling behind on keeping up. Need to check out MG's alternative forum next and then do some more work on DeadDude's book.

Law - thanks for that detailed resumee and taking the time to answer.

I just feel that up to now we have been led along in fairly sequential steps, whereas we suddenly seem to have been bombarded with information/clues from all quarters.

With so many threads here and at LL, other forums, blogs, journals, links, all the different parts of the Triska site, plus Vibration 13, and now the Chatroom, it is difficult to keep abreast of developments. My head is spinning.

I have read all posts/links etc. from everywhere, and will now try to make some sense of it, to see if I can be of help.
