The Legends of Alcatraz website has been updated again to give us a date and time for the Alcatraz adventure.Be a Pier 33 in SF at 6pm for a 7pm ferry ride to the island, ID required and under 18's must be accompanied.
There is also another mention that Dr. Soto will be giving the tour. We are not sure if that means Jorge Garcia will be there but it looks promising.
Join us here on this site to discuss any information we get from the visit. If you are attending and will be tweeting from the event then please let us know your Twitter ID so we can follow along.
The picture looks similar to the one in the puzzle on the Legends of Alcatraz website.
Let us know what you think in the comments.
First :-)
ReplyDeleteDo we know anyone that's going? Assume Jo is?
ReplyDeleteActually I haven't heard from Jo about whether she is attending.
ReplyDeleteHope there is someone we know that will be going.
Just found out @wikibrucethere will be at the event.
ReplyDeleteI've created a twitter list for people that might be at the event.
ReplyDeleteDocsAlcatrazTour
List isn't working for me :(
ReplyDeleteI am so delighted to find this! Thank you once again zort for your effort...you are awesome! Hi everyone, so glad to see familiar names!!!
ReplyDeleteI am very excited about Alcatraz...so far it's been very good!
Hi Ellen, glad you found us :-)
ReplyDeleteChris - I've tried from another computer and it does work for me, try opening the link in another tab and see what happens.
Hi Ellen! :-)
ReplyDeleteZort, it was giving me a page not found in Twitter :-( I've subscribed within twitter now though :-)
Wonder where the line will form?! I tried the link and at first it did not work, then second time it did.
ReplyDeleteThe reminder alert just went off on my phone and I wondered what's that for? I looked at my calendar and oh yeah I need to get over to The Rock Mysteries. lol
ReplyDeleteOk so it is at night but not at 9:15 like I thought. 6-7pm pst is 9-10pm. Hope this turns out to be something interesting.
ReplyDeleteHi Ellen! Glad to see you.
Rather 9:14 like the clue. And 9-10pm for me
ReplyDeleteThat makes it lasting until midnight for me give or take an hour. That's pretty early in the morning for you Zort.
Yep starting around 2am for me !

ReplyDeleteFinally west coast time is great for me!
ReplyDeleteI believe Jo is out of town this weekend for her real life job! Too bad!
Lots of tweets saying the bay is covered in fog and you can't see the island.
ReplyDeleteFeel like replying and saying that's normally the case !
They are general tweets, not specifically people going tonight.
ReplyDeleteI've been watching a twitter search for "Alcatraz" today and there are a large amount of people talking about the show.
Now people are waking up on the west coast the tourists are talking about it as well.
The first person to find a 2013 Ford Mustang gets to keep it. :) lol Well It is sponsored by Ford.
ReplyDeleteThis picture was just posted from someone visiting.
ReplyDeleteLooks related to the previous puzzle and has the 1963 date (minus the 1)
I make it H1EF that is missing.
H1e turbo is a kind of Mustang.
ReplyDeleteF for Ford ?
ReplyDeleteI think so. Tess what do you mean about finding a Mustang? Where is that?
ReplyDeleteOr am I just being gullible again? Today my husband said he was going to be the designated driver for a girls night out-and there was much laughter when I said "Are you serious?"
ReplyDeleteMight this be something?
ReplyDeleteH1EF
Looks a little too obscure, but never say never !
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking when I saw the google entry for H1EF that perhaps they are referring to lighting at Alcatraz...no fire, battery operated only. Or perhaps the lighting in cellblock D? Maybe something odd about it?
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts
ReplyDeleteJT sorry I was just joking around.
ReplyDeleteZort I seen that tweet earlier too. Noticed the date but wasn't sure it was actually from Alcatraz or not since it was to early for the event. So I ignored it. Guess I should take a closer look. lol
Just recalling the creepy, wonky lighting in the Dharma Medical Station...! (LOL!) Wow, I miss those days! xxoo
ReplyDeleteDoes this pic look like it is to do with the show ?
ReplyDelete@Zort- seems like it was sent from someone who is visiting Alcatraz...can you read the bio (?) on the side of the packaging? Wonder who the guy is on there?
ReplyDeleteLooks like it is a standard gift shop item.
ReplyDeleteLots of other pics of it from ages ago.
Only thing I can make out in the text is in the bottom corner. It's the name Mickey Cohen. Looks like it may be a quote by him not sure. But he was a Hollywood gangster sent Alcatraz.
ReplyDeleteahhh...ok!
ReplyDeleteTess-I thought you were kidding. But what if it turns out to be true? Too much of a coincidence I think that the clue points to a show sponser.
ReplyDeleteI found a webcam on the pier that the tour leaves from, it could be interesting to view later.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link Zort
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful day there!
ReplyDeleteWikiBruce is just about there, he just tweeted a picture of the island.
ReplyDeleteWould be interested to know if there's a big crowd there or not.
ReplyDeleteGood evening! watching cam, will held over to Twitter to follow Bruce. Can we say EXCITED! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lotto, nice to see you over here :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how much info we will get on events, but it could be interesting.
Hi! Zort. You are up late...
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to catch up events. Maybe another week or two before I can full commit to much of anything.
Hi, Maven, Tess, Sue, are you all here? Ellen! xxxx
I'm am time challenged... what is 1:06 ? UK time?
Yep, the blog settings are on GMT at the moment.
ReplyDeleteIt will be very late before I get some sleep, but not much to do tomorrow so I can sleep in.
Hi, Lotto! Hi, Ellen. Hi, everyone! Definitely seems like old times!
ReplyDeleteHi Lotto
ReplyDeleteAre we thinking this is a game of some sort? or will they be watching next episode (like premiere)?
ReplyDeleteMaven here is your answer about the number of people.
ReplyDeleteWikiBruce Picture
Hahaha Zort. Just saw that. Very surprised there is not a mob there yet!
ReplyDeleteHi Lotto!
ReplyDeleteYes- I am watching Chuck and Fringe and the Alcatraz Magical Mystery Tour tonight. Fun!
I actually think it is very brave of them to put something like this on with only a handful of episodes aired.
ReplyDeleteI would personally be surprised if enough people turn up to fill the 302 spaces.
Guess you're right, Zort. Just remembering all the Lost lines I waited on! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhich is a good point.. why so early in the game?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how long the ferry ride is to the island?
ReplyDeleteI agree Zort. I thought it was a little early. Even with the supposed people trying to sneak into roped off areas reported by TMZ.
ReplyDeleteI take everything they report with a grain of salt.
knowing it conflicts with Fringe.... same demographic.
ReplyDeleteNo idea how long the official ferry takes, but it took us only about 10 minutes from the boat tour we took in July to get from the island back to one of the piers.
ReplyDeleteYes you would have thought Fox wouldn't want a conflict between the two shows.
Another picture, the line is growing !
ReplyDeleteZort are you grabbing people twitting to list?
ReplyDelete@_june
@labfly
@a_askew
I think maybe it is so hard to launch a show these days, they really want to start strong. Maybe more of an interactive internet event would be good though.
ReplyDeleteIt maybe a publicity thing, that if it is a real event with real people they can get photo's and interviews for a press release maybe ?
ReplyDeleteI didn't have @_june on the list, but they are on now.
I think ABC's The River launched an interactive site with mythology about the show on it. Seen it tweeted today but haven't had a chance to check it out yet.
ReplyDelete@WikiBruceThere -
ReplyDeleteWhite screen, microphone, filming type setup beyond the barrier? #mystery Also Ford cars slicked up for showing off
I feel the need to countdown..... 10, 9, **** 8 ****
ReplyDelete@mrjudkins
ReplyDeleteYep got mrjudkins, he was going to meet up with Bruce earlier.
ReplyDeleteChatting with @a_askew. she's ready and excited. will tweet, tweet, tweet
ReplyDeleteJust realised what if they are there so that a scene for the show can be filed where Doc is showing a group of tourists or Alcatraz enthusiats around ?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteHard to be on twitter trying to follow Alcatraz going ons and avoid Fringe spoilers!
ReplyDeleteAh yes as I feared it wasn't all good news.
ReplyDeleteLots of talk of reorganisations and a small number of redundancies.
I'm in a group that isn't affected, but it's always a pain when these things happen.
Plus two big directors of our company, before it was taken over, are leaving so that was the big news.
Hi Zort and everyone! Maven clued me in, so I'm tagging along for the fun. Hope you're all doing well!
ReplyDelete@wikibruce says they're signing release forms.
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs Z! Glad your job escaped today Mr Z.
ReplyDeleteYes- wow- that would be something to be in the show!
Hi Everybody!!! Watching Fringe and keeping an eye on this...LOVE it!!! So good to "see" old friends!
ReplyDeletexxoo
I wonder if they are being told to turn phones off as it's all gone a bit quiet.
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs Z, welcome along.
Hello, Mrs. Z! There will be two tire Zorts over coffee/tea in the morning.
ReplyDeletemrjudkins reports to my hello:
ReplyDelete@MJHasOwlEyes Yup! At the front of the line with a bunch of other ARGers. We've waived all rights to anything & are standing by...
They seem to have been split into teams
ReplyDelete@ _june - I'm in the green team! #LegendsOfAlcatraz #slytherin
I guess there's teams _June says she's in green team.
ReplyDeleteTo clear up any confusion, I'm not Mrs. Zort, I was just lucky enough to marry a guy whose last name starts with Z. :)
ReplyDeletearghhhhhhhhh, it's a game....
ReplyDeleteTried to delete my comment Zort but it won't let me. :)
ReplyDeleteapologies Mrs. Z !
ReplyDeleteNo worries! I wonder how many teams there are?
ReplyDeleteWhere have heard of 42 Entertainment before? Did they do something for Lost?
ReplyDeleteI think Fiona is signed up as Mrs_Zort just to add or take away to or from the confusion.
ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely sure which :-)
Although she will be as tired as me because she is in the other room creating an assignment for her students at the moment.
Green
ReplyDeleteOrange
?

ReplyDeleteApparently they did some of the Dark Knight viral marketing events.
Oh ok I probably heard it from a podcast i listen to. They're big Dark Knight fans.
ReplyDeleteI guess they are on a boat... Is the the part where we stand up and stretch....
ReplyDeleteThey are going in, with lanyards apparently.
ReplyDelete"Please display this placard at all times - you don't want to be mistaken for a wayward inmate. This ticket is valid for the date and time indicated above entry: stubs from 1963 will not be honored."
ReplyDeleteLike it, I just saw the picture of one of the cards from MrJudkins
ReplyDeleteGlad our tweeters made it! Bon voyage!
ReplyDeleteLots of ticket pictures
ReplyDeleteThis would have been very fun... I see tweets now between event-goers.
ReplyDeleteThe ferry has left shore...
@thacher @ari0ck @hmrpita @thebruce0
ReplyDeletea_askew - Dr. Soto is giving us a pep talk (vilore cording) on the way to the island.
ReplyDeleteIs this a recorded message ?
Ah yes a video of Doc Soto
ReplyDeletemaybea it's a typo video recording
ReplyDeletemrjudkins Josh Judkins
ReplyDeleteThe video intro by @sotodoc on the ferry explained that we'll be investigating a legend of an otherwise unknown escape...
ha ha Tess.... good one
ReplyDeletedo we really think Jorge will be there in person?
ReplyDeleteI was close. It was via recording.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about him being their in person, Bethan has given nothing away over the last few days, but I hope he is there even if it is only for a short time to say hi and film something short.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the phone signal is like inside Alcatraz !
ReplyDeleteThere was a picture online of him filming in Vancouver yesterday night. Not that far away though.
ReplyDeleteha ha @thacher "the boat left us here!" ha ha
ReplyDeleteFull Rock immersion.
Zort, can you please add a few more to list, I'm follow that group. I listed them up a few comments. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOne of the people there has flown from Ontario today, so it is definitely possible !
ReplyDeleteAll these are now in the list
ReplyDelete@thacher @ari0ck @hmrpita @thebruce0
If there are any others let me know
Zort I can't believe you're still awake. I'd be dead by now.
ReplyDeleteWondering who the unknown escapee might be?
ReplyDeleteI am begining to flag, and I might not make it all the way to the end !
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the escapee will make it out after tonight and we might have to track him over the next few weeks ?
they seem to have free reign over cell block. Where's the mystery? Where's the game?
ReplyDeleteThey don't seem to have game directions yet.
ReplyDeleteSleep is calling me very insistently so I am going to call it a night before I collapse.
ReplyDeleteI'll catch up in the morning to see what has happened.
Thanks for stopping by and bringing back some good memories of previous times.
Sleep well, Zort!
ReplyDeleteNight now! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGood night Zort. Get some rest. Thanks for all you do.
ReplyDeleteWell, our tweeters are either very busy, or have lost reception. Or are being held hostage.
ReplyDeletePer Wikibruce/Alcatraz
ReplyDeleteGroups progressing through variation of guided tour; tasks, puzzles and questions to solve
wish there was some way the online community could participate in solving the tasks/puzzles/questions.
ReplyDeleteWikiBruce
ReplyDeleteThe details of the adventure: #legendsofalcatraz http://t.co/1n0UoY4L
would seem that the unknown escapee may be referencing the event-goers.
ReplyDelete"Reconcile the fractured shards of the unknown and emerge a true Legend of Alcatraz."
shards = glass
when you solve the puzzle you become a Legend.
That would be fun, Maven! I wish so too!
ReplyDeletexxoo
wonder if they have to find pieces (shards) of a puzzle that would reveal a legend.
ReplyDeletescavenger hunt - trading object for clue
ReplyDeletecribbage board - standard 121 holes, 370 in regulation board
city lights? - there seems to be a map involved. maybe identification of buildings.
Looks like some professional taping of event happening? Maybe we will see that someday.
ReplyDeletemrjidkins says The mystery solved, we're now exporing & taking pics.
ReplyDeleteThat was quick. Wonder what they solved?
mrjudkins
ReplyDeleteThe mystery solved, we're now exploring & taking pics
Anyone hear what the mystery was?
Well, looks like there won't be anything earth-shattering tonight, so I think I'll check in tomorrow. Goodnight all! It's been great...:)
ReplyDeletexxoo
Via @_june While resting in the library, @mrjudkins reads over the case files
ReplyDeleteI wonder whose file it is?
Night Ellen
ReplyDeleteNight Ellen. xxxxx
ReplyDeleteGood night Ellen-don't dream of escaped inmates!
ReplyDeleteI asked Mr Judkins to explain the mystery of the mystery- no reply yet.
Night Ellen.
ReplyDeleteThe mystery of tonight is mysterious!
I guess it's over @mrjudkins is heading back to the dock.
ReplyDeleteI think that means its bed time for me. Night all.
Night, Tess.
ReplyDeleteA couple more pictures up on the Twitter list. I would guess that after solving the puzzles the players were given that case file of the mystery prisoner.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to be nodding off too- nice to talk to you all!
I'm late to the game as usual.
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to go !
ReplyDeleteMorning all, just looking back over the tweets.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they had fun, I'm just not exactly sure what they did :-)
I was asleep :(
ReplyDeleteGreat to read through the comments and see so many old faces here! LT on the case again I see :-)
ReplyDeleteSo it was just a bit of fun by the sound of it? Nothing revealing. Nothing that seemed like the start of something ongoing?
probably just an excuse for Ford to show of some cars.
*off
ReplyDeleteI got this reply from @mrjudkins
ReplyDelete@SG_Tess @JST_THINKING @MJHasOwlEyes We had to try & locate proof of a inmate who was rumored to have escaped but no records remain...
@sg_tess @jst_thinking @mjhasowleyes Practically, that meant traveling to specific parts of the prison to fill in the blanks of a clue sheet
Thanks fo rthe info, I'll just update the NEW POST I just created.
ReplyDelete
