They seem to be some kind of super-humans with a sort of electromagnetic-super-decodifying-ray-gun-machine. My response: "Oh! They have the Internet on computers now!"

A quick summary of this puzzle and the solve: Maddison was visited by another pigeon, carrying two small vials and a note. In one vial was salt, water in the other. The note read: Sowehws Hipn - Aghfil Nxblq - Lj Tbmx Ac Qwdef - 8404<----Vvzcj! After a whole day of trying to decode this, someone finally cracked it. The message was encrypted using a vigenere autokey. rumkin.com/tools/cipher/vigenere-autokey.php The passphrase was NaClH2O The note decoded to: Foutain Town - Stormy Venue - No Post No Bills - 8404<-----Hurry! We decided "Foutain" was a typo for "Fountain" since everything else makes sense. Fountain Town = Kansas City, MO Stormy Venue = The Hurricane Bar www.hurricanekc.comNo Post No Bills = somewhere where they post flyers on the wall? (not entirely sure) 8404<----- = 4048 Broadway the address of the hurricane Flautapantera is the only person we found in KC. She's busy with exams, but was kind enough to put aside some time today to check the outside of the venue (she doesn't have time to go when the bar is open). Hopefully she find the drop on the outside, but if she doesn't, we will be in need of someone to drive there tonite. UPDATE: Flautapantera didn't find anything (but thanks so much for looking!!) hopefully we'll find someone to go back when the bar is open.

Well, good luck Flautapantera, I hope that you find it! I would be so intrigued to go and retrieve one of these drops. I've seen a lot of people engage with CiW, Op and Tachyon, and now this. But I'm on the other side of the world, so it kind of counts me out unfortunately, that is, unless they decide to come 'down under'... ETA: I can't believe I just said 'Down Under' Now I have that Men At Work song in my head!

For Wixy and Hyemew, Ok Dudes time to shake hands and kiss and make up Spoke to a bio-chemist mate of mine about the discussion RE: that damned pigeon and without hesitation or drawing breath he said ..................... Drum roll............ ..........Taddahh ;D Alpha-chloralose To us the great unwashed it is this stuff...... "Alpha-Chloralose - INAD #6602: Alpha-chloralose is an immobilizing drug effective in sedating waterfowl, Canada geese, American coots, common ravens, sandhill cranes, and pigeons. Used properly it does not render the animal unconscious. It is very effective for removing problems birds from urban settings such as parks, golf courses and unwanted roost sites. It is administered to birds by hand feeding them treated bread or grain. About 45 minutes after consumption, the bird can be hand captured and removed or relocated." And that my friends is what you call a smart arse,Mystery solved!

Earlier in this thread people were wondering whether or not they are really in Texas. Well, in the "Pigeon Part II (April 17th)" video, you can see a "Kinky Governor 2006" sticker on Adam's front door. Kinky Friedman ran for governor in Texas last year. I voted for him because I knew he was going to lose and because I thought it was funny when he ended a speech with this sentence: "May the God of your own choosing bless you." So my guess would be that they are really in Texas. www.kinkyfriedman.com/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinky_Friedman

Kinky Friedman, that's interesting. Nikki B was subscribed to Kinky Friedman for governor youtube channel and might have mentioned it at some point.

The "wouldn't it be funny." motivation gets you wrestlers for governors. I learned my lesson, lol.

Joss,Good Suggestion A Good video summary of where we are up to with this, www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSk0Ggo7xW0&mode=related&search=I have to admit that Maddy is starting to grow on me,especially after saying she feels like an ALIEN This IMS is starting to become a good example of fan interaction,the timing of vid releases and general feel is somewhat satisfying, Clearly it is not overpolished and the acting is starting to settle down to a more natural tone, Maddy gets my vote as Jess's replacement,as she is building a fan base built on interaction from the outset,which as we all know is something that LG15 has had breel trouble with, Is it just me or do the commenters/fans seem just a tad more intelligent and incisive,IE, No "FIRSTers" or "MEEPers" ,or have they not crawled from under their blankets yet?
