for some reason when I hit the Albany marker it opened the boston info.

Postlarval can you post a link to the IRC chat.


Lugnut, as Postlarvel said above, you can go here, and once signed on, type /join #13lights. If you have chat software like mIRC use server chat-solutions.org (ports 6667), again, once you are signed on, join #13lights.

Nothing happening in chat, just shooting the s***. We've no puzzles to solve, and no access to the live happening (icerimp has no laptop).

When icerimp gets back, everything will probably be posted here.

You might try mibbit. I think others have been able to access it from work, when other chat clients have been blocked. Just go down the server list, select "other server" and enter irc.chat-solutions.org:6667, then join channel #13lights.

 		Alright. Here they are. Came in a static bag that you'd put hardware in.

Note that my scanner picked up the number sheet odd. Bold face is blue, and italicized face is red.

 		Thanks icerimp!

Looks like new puzzles to solve, and a location to be found (with some hidden items to collect!)

 		The two groups of letters at the bottom of the numbers sbeglbarebjf & sbeglbarpbyhzaf tell you the size of the grid...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
sbeglbarebjf=forty-one rows & sbeglbarpbyhzaf=fourty-one columns, Rot -13

 		The location of that photo might be relevant. I'm sure we'll find out more about the character soon.

Working on the griddler now, and looking into the haiku...

 		"when a white house burns
and an ancient city buried

I think this will end up being an address - 1814 Troy street?

 		I think we have our new (approximate) drop/meet location, and a date... Not sure of the time yet.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Where Moonlit Towers
arise over Silicon Hills
and Violet Crowns

Must be Austin, Texas

I was also thinking the "white house burns" part must relate to the date it happened...


<edit> whoa, as I was typing spec... nice work noisy
