Maybe we should do some oracle - BATMEN/WOMEN coordination.

talking about online and in person, the people on line may want to record what happens cus it may not be just a live feed (this is my feeling) so just in case something big happens online we can all see it and those on the ground should bring a camera (i know i will be recording every thing i can) just for those online... this is just a thought it may just be a live feed...

If they are referring to what the CFB website states, it only says that they will find a way to show what goes down live, online, for those who cannot make it to NY or Chicago. Nothing about online/ground troops cooperation, but you never know.

Obviously I won't be able to make it considering that I am in Florida. But I sending my cousin and his four friends to go to the event in my behalf and they'll call me once they arrive, also guaranteeing me swag if there is any since I informed them of the event in the first place. It should be pretty sweet! I kind of wish I sent my cousin to the other Chicago events...Could have gotten a lot of the stuff...But this time, I am prepared!

I am just wondering what they are going to do at this event.

They wont release footage because it is too close to the release of the movie. No trailer because of the same reason.

I have a feeling that they are going to do a march type thing and have the people dress as the Batman or in CFB clothing.

That is my only reason if they say that they are going to have a live feed for the event that they are doing in Chicago and New York.

gobrutus
07-05-2008, 12:49 PM
OK i saw this on the New York gathering board, and liked the idea so I think we should do it too.

Everyone who is going to the Chicago meeting, come with a nametag so we can identify each other and group up. Just write SHH: and then your username. So, mine would be SHH: gobrutus. It'll be inconspicuous but will be enough for us to identify each other.

My friend in Chicago said he can't make it. :( Said he's a t-ball coach and has his last game then. I was really bummed. They're calling for a 40% chance of thunderstorms Tuesday, but only a 20% chance that night. Maybe it will rain him out and he can go? :)

great idea, but the address for the Sears Tower is 233 S Wacker...150 is just north of the Sears Tower. 150 is where the meeting point is, on the west side of wacker.

For the Chicago team I hope you guys dont get rained out. But bring a coat that is water proof and a umbrella.

We know that this event will be held no matter what the weather. The weather sucked at the trailer hunt in Chicago but we still came in a full force of numbers.

But isnt the meeting place 150 S Wacker? or near there? not sears tower? I'm confused.

also...this is something no one else brought up yet as far as I can tell.

CFB is meeting late at night, like 9pm. We haven't had this done before. It's always in the morning or afternoon. Night seems odd, even if it is for a Batman organization.

Given the limited cities (NY and Chicago), what do we think of the possibility of an early screening of the movie? The Joker list does say "Gather all my fans..."

AzBat
07-05-2008, 01:23 PM
I'm thinking it might not be an early screening. One would think that would be the final game/prize. Another question, is there any movie theaters nearby? If not, then it's probably just for free stuff. Or maybe they're staging some kind of live show? That would be cool.

You do have a valid point but I dont think with a early screening. On the website it said that they are going to have a live feed at the location for all the people that could not make it to the event. That is my first clue that there will not be any footage shown.

Second, yes this event is late at night, so I think that this is going to be a march of some sort. I mean the Batman does operate late at night and so should the CFB people. :brucebat:

As for the Joker, "gather all my fans" I think that will be a different thing than this.

I have a feeling that the Joker stuff will happen closer to the release date of the movie.

Hi,

I live in Chicago and would like to attend. Just got a package in the mail from CFB, which included a paper with a date: 7-08-08. I assume that refers to this.

I checked the website, but couldn't find any information. What time and where are people meeting? I assume it's on Tuesday (7-08).

Do we know anything else about this event? Should we have oracles?

AzBat

I'm thinking about driving out to Chicago for this. I live in Metro-Detroit, but I'll be at school for orientation that day and I'll be halfway there. It's a 3 hour drive from where I'll be, but I can totally make it there well before the start of the event.

Anyone from Chicago know of a decent place to park my car in the vicinity of the event in case I decide to make the trip?

I liked the idea of SHH name tags by the way - good call.

I dunno who thinks this is a web site based hunt like slipknot.....I wonder what makes you think that?

Is it that people think that "key" was a WEP key? cause my fiancee says its waaay too long to be a WEP key. I mean it does look to play the part but I don't think it is.
And plus- this WEP key is used to connect to a wireless internet source. Do you think there will be a GIANT internet source broadcasted around somewhere that can only be accessed with this key...?

And another question....do we need oracles persay? Or are these people just there just in case?? do you know something I probably dont?

It still can be a WEP key. WEP keys can be almost any length. In fact, I've seen some from 8-bits to 256-bits. This one is 44 hex characters long. That translates to 22 ASCII characters or 22 bytes. Multiply 22 bytes by 8 to get bits and it's a 176-bit key. Anyway, convert the Hex to ASCII and you get....

Anyone consider the fact that maybe, just MAYBE, Batman himself will show up? Obviously Christian Bale can't show up since he'll have to be at two places at once, but I mean that maybe some WB/42 Rep will come dressed as Batman or something? That or I think they'll hand out the shirts (I hope they hand out the shirts, at least) and other CFB goods.

That or I think they'll hand out the shirts (I hope they hand out the shirts, at least) and other CFB goods.

I was thinking maybe one of us would get Harvey Dent, and the other would get Jim Gordon....?

yeah I get all that....but for real...why do people think theres gonna be a need for a oracle?

I could see it either way. On one hand, nothing says anything about people online getting to do anything but watch a live feed. But then again there's precedent from the President's game. There was a counter on the site and there were Lat/Lon coordinates. Personally, I don't care either way.

I dunno who thinks this is a web site based hunt like slipknot.....I wonder what makes you think that?

Is it that people think that "key" was a WEP key? cause my fiancee says its waaay too long to be a WEP key. I mean it does look to play the part but I don't think it is.
And plus- this WEP key is used to connect to a wireless internet source. Do you think there will be a GIANT internet source broadcasted around somewhere that can only be accessed with this key...?

And another question....do we need oracles persay? Or are these people just there just in case?? do you know something I probably dont?

Just wondering, if it's some sort of WEP key would it be the SAME key for both Chicago and NY? Maybe if it's too long it's actually two WEP keys.

I could see a Live show happening. At the Dallas event for ItsAllPartOfThePlan the 42 guys/gals were all in character acting out. I could see them putting on a show. Batman showing up, or maybe the Joker shows up and does something like he's suppose to do in the movie? There's all kinds of neat things they could do.

Not too long. See above. But the idea of having to split the key in half is a cool idea. It won't get us anywhere now, but it might when it gets kicked off.

yeah I get all that....but for real...why do people think theres gonna be a need for a oracle?

I think it is just precautionary. They said there would be an online component (even if it is just a feed) and it might be best to be prepared just in case. They kind of saved our bacon the last time around, not that this is going to be like last time, I'm just saying...

On the otherhand, they haven't told us that we will need an online partner, which they have done everytime there has been a puzzle. And, there is no evidence whatsoever that this is a Joker related (or coordinated) event, and he is the only one who has given us puzzles or hunts of any kind.

If I had to guess, I'd say

35% Chance that it will be some kind of pro-batman rally, maybe they pass out shirts or signs, signup forms/instructions to recruit others, then they film them and use them in a Gotham Tonight where they interview Douglas.

25% Chance we prowl the streets with CFB leaders and break up/watch them break up some staged mugging or something

15% Of spotting a Batman of Tumbler sighting/driveby

10% Chance they screen some kind of clip from the movie or trailer, either in a theater or on the side of a big building (if only there was one near by...)

10% CFB leaders get taken out by Joker goons (Or arrested by Gotham police, maybe even Chicago police if the last viral was any indication)

5% Chance of a batman themed fireworks show or bat-signal unveiling






But most likely it will be something entirely different...

The only reason I'd say no Bale is to keep up the integrity of the virals. What I mean is.......we all *know* who he is, but CFB people wouldn't. So if batman or bruce were to show up, someone would be yelling out OMG its Bruce or Bats, which ruins the illusion. One of the things I love about this viral is the integrity of the 4th wall.....for the most part ;)

I've already bought a ticket to the midnight showing at my local IMAX though, so unless it is an early screening it wouldn't do me too much good.

humanrobot
07-05-2008, 07:54 PM
I don't think it will be tickets, all the good shows for the navy pier IMAX sold out on like the first day (I bought 4).

But a bat signal would be amazing. I don't care what it is, we know it's going to be cool because 42E thought it would only be possible to pull of in TWO cities (not 30).

Anyway, very glad I live in Chicago now. I guess I'll wear my harvey dent shirt, as I don't have CFB shirt.

And I think everyone is right about Bale, we wouldn't see him. Regardless, I'd flip if it was Dent or Gordon anyway.

Well, trailers are kosher, but that's actually the two minute clip from the DVD set, which happens to be the footage shown at Wizard World a long time ago and just as with the blu-ray prologue, this has not been released through official channels. But isn't explicitly verboten, not yet anyway.

Plus, if that is considered a trailer it would be #6 as we have the teaser, trailers 2 and 3, then the alternate (U.K.) trailer and then the Dominos trailer.

Yeah, I remember for the last event in Chicago I told everyone who was to bring an umbrella, then what do I do? Leave my umbrella in the theater after watching the trailer... I just wanted my phone and to get out... I am not bringing my cell phone to this one. So many numbers, but never mine.

yeah I'll be there, ill take some pics of us gathered around like lunatics.

think we should wear goon masks or somethin?

I don't see a real need to bring a goon mask. however, I'm bringing both a Batman and a goon mask just in case this turns into a Joker event during it...

BTW, are we all still wearing nametags with our board names on it to the event?

Hello fellow batfans,

I am going to be seeing TDK @ navy pier for the midnight premiere on the 17th. However, I don't know much about this ccfb stuff and this gathering. Can someone do a quick FAQ or tell me what I need to do to participate? I was thinking of getting in town early anyways and would love to be a part of this, but I don't have the CCFB tshirt or anything. hope you all can help a fellow batfan join in! best wishes.

Check the wiki (http://batman.wikibruce.com/Home) to get caught up...just go to the location at 9pm on Tuesday. That's all you need to know to participate.

Hey...when I click on that map that you have on the first post, it takes me to a place that is not the same as what I got when I typed in the Co-ords into google earth. I got exactly the sears tower. I am wondering how yours is so much different from mine??

Not sure, I double-checked the coords on the CFB page, and they're correct. I'm sure if we're somewhere within sight of the Sears Tower we'll be ok though

I will also be attending this event. But I have a question...is anyone else driving there? If so does anyone know of good places to park where you dont have to spend 12 to 20 dollars!?!?!? If anyone knows of some good places i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!! Can't wait to see everyone there!!!

What I usually do is stop at the Kiss and ride at rosemont blue line. It's $3 and the blue line will take you pretty close to where you want to be. BUT if you have to drive to Chicago I wouldn't worry TOO much about parking considering the time. If you were to arrive around 7pm (like me) you shouldn't have a problem finding a parking meter.

SO MEETINGS AT 9. I say we pick a spot and a time earlier on and meet up, then converge around 8pm to adams and wacker. Remember, the CHICAGO POLICE do not play! They dispersed the Harvey Dent People In Less then 11 minutes on one Chicago stop. In Chicago, more than 2 people gathering constitutes a mob, trust me I have been arrested several times for "mob action"(and 14 for indecent exposure:hoboj:JK).I feel we would be better served meeting at a prior location and trekking it over. Just a thought, comments... suggestions...second....cheeseburgers:brucebat:
