SOTA at a Cubs game

Some minor ARG developments yesterday. Things are definitely slower now than they were. I think this is because we discovered the Circuit City ad too early - which opened the door to finding other websites.

The Society of the Ancients were busy yesterday rallying in other cities. They were spotted at a Chicago Cubs game, in San Francisco, and Vancouver B.C. There are unconfirmed reports that they were rallying in Boston (believable) and Mobile, Alabama (not so believable). Check below for YouTube footage of rallies in San Fran and Vancouver.

This last video was posted by Avery Fane. This is the guy with the mysterious MySpace profile and blog entries. He's actually got a blog entry dated before we discovered the Society of the Ancients website. However, blog posts on MySpace can be back dated. Still, he offers up cryptic information that seems legit. Then again, he has posted a MySpace blog stating "I am not your messaih [sic]". As of right now, there's no way to tell if he is a legit player or not. Since he posted that "messiah" blog and since he has said that he is not official in comments, I don't think we should consider him a character in the ARG - regardless of the Iris, wings, and Occam's Razor references. But, you may recall that an I Love Bees character used Blogspot to update us on her life.

Next, it was confirmed that the countdown time will reach "zero" on the Summer Solstice. This year the Solstice will take place at 18:06 on June 21. It should be noted that there are usually celebrations held at Stonehenge on the day of the Solstice. The Society of the Ancients have a portion of their website dedicated to Stonehenge.

So what happens with the countdown reaches "zero"? Will SOTA hava presence at Stonehenge. Will we see them rallying at other places? Will SOTA begin accepting applications via email?

By the way , the Circuity City ad that reveals the link to the HALO 3 comic is landing on doorsteps around the U.S.
