Who Was Grayson Ozias IV? And Where Is His ($100,000) Fortune? Levi's has been rolling out a new add campaign, and part of that campaign appears to be an ARGish treasure hunt.

http://twitter.com/GraysonOziasIV Worth noting is that his location is New York, and that a google search for his name pulls up a craigslist listing for an event in Manhattan on 10/7. Unfortunately that listing appears to be gone now, including the cached version.

Darn, why isn't there 100,000 buried in London?! Sounds fun but I'm too far away to participate.

With the game up and running, I've got a lot to say... but first and foremost, the first solve:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
G.O. IV's recording points to The James Brown House in New York, also known as The Ear Inn. Enter 'Ear Inn' and you're given the following info: the item must be retrieved on Oct. 12th between 9:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. eastern, and it is located "in the southwest corner beneath the round table".
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It now says October 7th, between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST. (Though, to be nitpicky, that should say EDT)

Yeah, I wanted to see what it is too. The people on the Levi's forum dont seem to adept. And apparently GO IV recorded his wax cylinders in 1889. So does this count as an arg?
