Hi everyone! If you accessed the Vanishing Point site between Jan. 24 and Jan. 26 18:00 (6 PM), you may have seen an special VIP Party invitation on the Puzzle Box 4 page. If you are planning to attend the party please let me know!

The reason I'm posting this topic is the fact you had to reply to [email protected] with both the subject and body saying "yes" before Jan. 26 18:00 (6 PM). I have already done that and if you have too, congratulations! However, I forgot to print off the page which if I remember correctly, I had to do that to get in.

If anyone already has the page printed off, please send post a link of a scanned print of the page or if you saved the site, a link of that for all the people who couldn't print it off. Thank you and I will still be attending even if I can not get into the Party. Thank you and I hope to see people there!

My first post here. Seen the invite and sent my reply in time. Live on the east coast and will not be going. If I receive a reply, any one is welcome to it.

That would be great since we already have the babysitter for the weekend and Hotel accommodations that can't be canceled now. I thought the event was just after the clues were given and not special invite.

The invitation says:

Date: Saturday, January 27, 2007

Time: 1900-2200hrs P.S.T.

Locale: Undisclosed. Transportation will be provided from event coordinates.

The event coordinates are Gas Works Park in Seattle.

I called the parks dept. and yes indeed, there's fireworks scheduled for there tomorrow night.

I just got my RSVP Confirmation today! I'm printing it out right now. I'm really excited since it's like 8 minutes from where I live. In terms of where the party will be held is unconfirmed however the transportation is "provided" and all you have to do is come to event which is at 6pm at GasWorks. For everyone who successfully got in and are planning on going to the event, I hope to see you there. I'll be the Asian kid with glasses ^^.

Remember, you need to be over 21 for the VIP party.

If you're going to broadcast the events, why should I show up live?

Each live event will be amazing. I?ve arranged some spectacular feats that the world has never seen before and should not be missed. Plus, for those of you over 21 who can show up at the final Seattle event, I?ve arranged for an extra special celebration.

I got what seems to be a generic response from "Sheri Sullivan" at Microsoft ([email protected]). It's probably a generic response because I specificially indicated I could NOT attend:

"Congratulations! Your RSVP for the celebration has been received. See you at the party."

Attached to the email, below the sentence is a java .gif link to this page:

Wish I could go!

I was wondering why the invitation says 7:00 and the box coutdown says 6:00.

I think the deal is that the clues are going to be at 6:00 at Gas Works Park - maybe in the fireworks. Everyone and anyone can go, just as in the prior 3 boxes events.

Then we'll be transported to the party, where you'll need the invitation, probably to get on the bus or boat. Originally it was saying 21 years old probably because of alchohol but the invitation said 18 - so I think they decided to just screen for age/alcohol at the party,(21 is legal drinking age in WA state). The 18 thing probably has more to do with WA state gambling and contest laws.

I can't think of a large facility in the area for a party except there is a large old stationary ferry/boat nearby that rents out for functions. Hah, it might actually be on a boat. There's a local boat company that has boats for parties and they're docked across the lake. Yep, that's my bet.

    • Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is continuing its fast-paced update schedule for Xbox Insiders. Today, the company announced a new slate of features it is rolling out to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, which includes an expansion to the gamertag system, Xbox 360 achievements, and more. The unique Gamertag that Xbox users can choose for their profile is getting more characters. Instead of the 12-character limit, Insiders will now be able to get a Gamertag that's 15 characters long. The 12-character limit will still apply to Gamertags that are not unique or contain any non-Latin characters. Meanwhile, Microsoft is adding Xbox 360 game support to its Game Hubs. Selecting an installed Xbox 360 game on a modern Xbox console will now show achievement progress, captures, and other information. Achievement pop-ups are back for these classics too, which should be good news for achievement hunters. The next change is for Xbox players who can't wait to jump into their games when an update is required. "If a game requires an update and is available to stream through your Game Pass membership, you can start playing immediately with cloud gaming while the update downloads in the background," explains Microsoft. The final change of this Insider update is once again to the game cards. Insiders will find that all games, both released and upcoming, will now have a simple button to add to their profile's wishlist, making the process much easier from a single place. This Xbox update is rolling out today to Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.
