The Knowledgemonger Kronicles

So last night/this morning, I had a dream about a Post Hunt sequel. It was stunningly more difficult than the one that I was involved with this past May. I had a different team, which made none of us very happy. My team consisted of my roommate, her sister and Kim's husband, Brian.

We went to the location of the first puzzle, which is a public library. The librarian, of course, is my old high school's librarian. She shushed us countless times as we worked on the puzzle. The puzzle had these clues that each stood for a letter of the alphabet and fell into a puzzle at the bottom of the page to make 2 words. I started tackling the puzzle and for some reason my team did not assist me and are angry at me for taking on the work. So, I got up and left and said something to the effect of, "fine! you go ahead and do it."

I headed over to the next closest puzzle, which was in this room filled with pictures of geese and and this clue giver in a foxhunter's outfit. The answer to the clue, which had some weird long question sheet that didn't make a lot of sense, was Goose Creek Golf Course. My dad helped me with the answer, because in the dream of course he was standing in the room for this purpose.

So, I rushed back to find my team and they had already left the library. I called Sam's cell and it kicked me straight to voicemail. I called Liz's phone, but it had been disconnected and the message told me she owe $63.52. (Sorry Liz!) So, I ended up running into Liz, who was outside smoking a cigarette and waiting for Sam. Same, naturally, had to pee. She told me where to find Brian who was working on the 3rd clue, conveniently in a tent about 50 yards away.

I walked into this tent and it is a demo for EA Sports Tiger Woods 2009 and it's 8-layer control feel. Whatever the hell that means? Unfortunately, I woke up at this point without solving this clue or getting any further along.

The dream was just a tad odd and worth a humor note, if anything.

I did the Post Hunt yesterday with 3 great friends and teammates. I was going to write a blog about it, but one of these teammates did such a fantastic job with his bulleted highlights that I instead will just post the link to his and say: Ditto!

Soooo...

My take has been asked for so here it is:



I was originally invited to this event by a member of my trivia team from JRs; however, after realizing that they had about 6-8 persons already I started asking others to come along. As it turns out I ended up with a 4-person team comprising of my roommate and the other two-thirds of my brain. And boy did we need the full brain today.

It rained at the beginning but Mother Nature was kind enough to make that a passing trend. The rest of the day was mostly dry. We got kicked off with getting the rest of the coordinates for the 5 puzzles.

The 5 Puzzles were entertaining and challenging, granted as stated before were sharing brain power today and we completed the 5 puzzles with about 2 hours before the final clue. So, we lunched. While eating, we did some puzzling and saw 2 different things and were on to one correct thing and one incorrect thing (courtesy of me...oops). Anyhow, we went into the final clue feeling good.

Then we overthought a clue and stood around and scratched our heads...and we will just say...didn't win. :-)

The day overall was awesome and I think this is the kind of entertainment that I need on Sundays after working the previous 2 nights.

Thnigs of note:

~ 3 Amazing Persons can make anything fun for me.

~ When doing something like this, you must pay attention to all information given to you.

~ I love being outside on a Sunday.

~ I need more time with these individuals.

~ Time spent outside of a club/bar counts x 2.

~ There are times that everyone need to be in a hurry and run, as such.

~ I have discerning taste :-)

~ A male ruminant is a BUCK!

~ I could easily fall victim to a conspiracy theory.

Thanks again for a great day :-)

Sidenote: Glenn's Art is awesome and hearing his descriptions on everything was nice.
