Well, here's an added fillip -- the phone number has been hacked! The hacker has erased the message and put up a mocking one instead. What an idiot. Well, I'm guessing they will have it restored on Monday or before and, meanwhile, I'm still going to plan to go.

Well, of course you should go, you are clearly the chosen one and will be gifted with the power to turn bullsh*t into gold - oh, no, hang on, Mr Brown himself has already bagged that one!

Neil,
I believe that you've stumbled onto an ARG (Alternate Reality Game). Started with the movie A.I. years ago and branched out to other media genres, most notably Lost. You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_reality_game |

In fact I did recall the idea of alternate-reality gaming when I received the call-back. Indeed if you call the phone number now it also leads to a second number, multiple steps, in a new story thread unlike when I called previously. (The hacker message is gone and the "Peter Solomon" people have apparently regained control.) 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...? |
