No kidding. LOL, I hope it doesn't get that bad.

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you for that great New England ping.

Some questions if I may...
Threads will go up in the evenings between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. p.d.t.
What is the title of the thread to be? If you've yet to determine a title under which category (Breaking News, Front Page News, etc.) will the thread be displayed?
Sorry for the questions, ol' chap, but I need a clue on how to get to the starting thread.

Morning bump!!!!!!!!

[BADJOE]

Are you flyin' or drivin'?

[diotima]

It's impossible to go indoors in Vegas without airconditioning. Everyplace has got air. So 'Is it hot outside in Vegas in August?' YES 'Will you be outside in the heat?' NO, very unlikely. The conference will be Saturday all day, inside the well-airconditioned Treasure Island. Its much cooler in the evenings, the average for that time of year is 80-85.

So, not to worry!

[Fred Mertz]

I'll be flying in.

[RedWing9]

Bump...

[Just another Joe]

Whoooo, you lost me.
This is just too hard to figure out.
I can understand the basics but don't get the finer details.

[AGreatPer]

If Katy and Fred are going I may reconsider this one.

[DoughtyOne]

Nice shot Abner. That's sure looks like a lot of fire so close to the balloon.

[Slip18]

"Will there be anyone there I know?"

Sheesh, Fred, you've been here since September 30, 1998. You're worried about not knowing anyone?

Trust me on this, you'll know a lot of people by the time you leave, and you'll have wonderful memories to boot.

[RedWing9]

I can understand the basics but don't get the finer details.

What are you confused about Joe? Please expand so that we can answer your question.

[Fred Mertz]

I'm worried about what to wear too.

[Slip18]

The little black evening dress is always in style! LOL!

During the day you'll want to have shorts, but please, please, don't wear garters to hold up your black socks with the shorts.

In the evening you'll want to have a sports shirt and nice pants, and perhaps a sports jacket. Other than that, just bring yourself.

[LurkerNoMore!]

:-)

Hope to see you there!

[Just another Joe]

Pre-existing threads?
So we have to look through every thread that was posted on that day?

If you don't find all of the clues then you get, basically, no credit?

How do you know how many clues there are?

All questions I would like to know.
I may have missed the answers to some of these questions in the post. If I did, sorry.

[DoughtyOne]

Hi Guys. This should help the both of you.

The thread name will be: Freeper FRiva Feva - Day One (...two, three, etcetera.)

You will get key words which you will plug into the search engine that can be accessed on the top right of the forum screen.

Select "match all words" "sort by date"

Enter the key words and the thread you need will be one of the top five threads.

This won't be hard at all. It's simply going through the process.

Make notes about the Clue Codes and place them in at the end.

You guys can do it. Good luck. D1

[Just another Joe]

OK, so where's the thread? It starts today?
Are the clue words all in the Freeper Friva Feva thread for the day or does the third clue word come in the second clue word thread?

[Just another Joe]

Never mind. I see.
However, if I do search for "Clinton's head" I can't find the thread that's mentioned referring to the 13th of May.
Am I doing that right or is that just made up and there is no thread?
