One of the things as I was talking to the caller was an idea to "play along" but as I recall it was based less on alternate-reality gaming and more on how the old Adventurer's Inn at Disney World used to work -- where people were encouraged to play along with the adventurous tales of the actors.
Anyway, I have booked a room, set up a boarding kennel for the dog, my wife has agreed to be my co-pilot and canceled a hair dresser appointment. My only fear is that I will get to the venue but while "role-playing" I neglected one salient thing. I got the place and the date and the time and the passphrase. But I'm hoping it will be pretty obvious when I get to the venue where in the building I should be heading! I'm going to call the venue on Monday but I'm betting this is so secret they'll either deny everything or say they cannot help.
Well, at least this is fun.....
I wonder if anyone else has called that number, followed instructions and received a callback...?

Leave a copy of this thread in a sealed envelope with the dog - to be opened in case you & your wife do not return from the trip!
