If you go to the place in SM can you purchase the print there?

Just gauging if it's worth going down.

I don't think you'll be able too - it's never been like that before. But you usually get some goodies.

No, but if so this will be the first time ever. You might get a cool freebie though. Last time they gave out drugs and a chicken sandwich. This time could be a t-shirt or celebrity appearance.

I'm only about 15 minutes away, but as someone said.. parking.

Do you tell them anything when you get there? "I'm here for breaking gifs, etc?"

thanks, btw

I'd imagine if something was happening today it'd be obvious when you turn up!

If you're only 15 mins go for it! Nah you don't tell em nothing. Just sort of wait for something to happen. Other people will likely show too, so you won't be alone, most like.

They'll give a specific time - I'm guessing there will be another update to the chart later today and the reveal will be tomorrow morning. I don't think they usually did weekend drops for the Lost series and I doubt they would sit on it until Monday.

seems like this 212 Pier place right is next door to G88 in Santa Monica...

just out of curiosity, does the bowler have any connection with this 212 pier place?

and btw, I just watched the whole Wire series for the first time and it definitely took a few episodes to get into, but was super rewarding to go through the whole series! Didn't like it at first, but ended up loving it as a whole!

I just looked at street view on Google and Gallery 1988 is right between Fedora Primo (where they sell bowlers) and Pier 212. My guess is that the release will just be at Gallery 88

Maybe the Chart 4 image is supposed to be read like this:
Bowler hat = Fedora Primo
212 = 212 Pier Cafe
X = X marks the spot of the release?

That's clever thinking.

You are either a plant or a wizard. I'm rooting for the latter...

it's unlikely the print will be available at the gallery, it wouldn't be fair to those who can't make it to the events.

More likely is that the url/swag/celeb appearance will be at this Pier place.

Only half wizard. The other half of me is ARG nerd.

And mistershow - I agree that the print won't be available at the URL drop - even if it is at Gallery 88. Just swag giveaway. It was poor wording on my part. I meant it as "My guess is that the URL reveal will be at Gallery 88"
