Bat Brain discovered something in the google earth tour file

Here is the Google Maps link:

Someone get there now!
I'd do it myself but I'm visiting family in NY till Tuesday.

Bat Brain rocks, wooo!

Thanks for linking to the original comment, it was kinda hidden away.
I would have just waited for a mod to split the appropriate posts from that thread, maybe they'll still do that.

If any of this bullshit is true

BoOO for not giving the east coast some love ARG wise

I just called my friend who lives close to there, she is another NIN fan and might check it out.

Who wants to venture a guess as to what this could be? A flash drive? Concert tickets? Backstage passes?

EDIT: I like pizza. Also, some people may note the times and dates on the top of the photos. Those are not times to be there. Those are sliders that allow Google Earth users to change the time of day and see how sunlight affects the area.

Anyone find out what the hell it is?

No, but it might be connected to the private NIN concert...

Eh. I'll visit the rock tomorrow after 9am once I can get my hands on a car. Hopefully there will still be something there.

Way to go requieminadream!!!! Good find!!! You're so cool!!!!!

Jamie,
Don't credit me. Bat Brain discovered it in this post:

someone now...go....GO CHECK UNDER THE ROCK! NOW!

10 bux of gas to get there. 10 bux I dont have

A thought:

Yes, the show, or something similar.

Under the rock = Under the moon. An evening, outdoor event?

But in a residential cul de sac?

maybe the third disc of The Slip is under the rock....someone go check.

Notice, there is a large empty field. The field bears a striking resemblance to that in the tour artwork.

You do have a good point. Maybe we'll find a note stating a time to come back? I dunno, even so, it's extremely close to the residential area... All those houses (and probably ones in the nearby blocks) would have to agree to contract to deal with the noise.

Cool, apparently my boredom paid off.

$20 say thats where he stashed the Tapeworm Demos

Agreed, the homes are close. At the same time, that field seems fairly large and if it were a small show, volume may not matter. Then again, maybe it's not a show, perhaps something else? Anyhow, all speculation at this point!
