Ok...to recap, since Raju is a moron so I am writing all this out…this year for my dinner/thingy I will be doing things a bit different. As many of you know the eating like pigs and making fun of Lisa is getting old especially since now we all know she goes to USP and not UPS…shame on all of you for making fun of her!
My event will be an all day event and will most likely be a Saturday or Sunday. I am going to invite everyone but I know not everyone will be able to make it (elders), but everyone is welcome. I will not tell anyone what the place is, I will simply give you an address and we all must get there on the day of the event. Car pooling is suggested. Most
likely we will all get together at my place early (10AM) on the day and leave together in 2 or 3 cars.
Weeks prior to the event I will give out clues, lets call it a riddle in parts…each person may or may not get a clue from the first set of clues…the second set of clues will be given to everyone via email in a series…the 2nd set will be one clue every day for 5 days leading up to the day of the event. I will give everyone a 1 week warning prior to
the event so you can clear your schedule if needed. Which ever team guesses the exact venue will get a prize, only if they guess the venue before the day of the event. No one will be allowed to guess until the first set of clues is given out, I will also send an email confirming the first set is given out and the second set will begin. You may all work together, I actually suggest it.
I will confirm that the first clue was given to Team WOW (See Below)…again, I strongly suggest you all work together…this is going to be VERY HARD. Team MEOW will get there clue soon.
Communicate with your team members so you all have clues and are on the same page. Lack of communications will lead to no one winning…and yes you may work in teams. Actually here are the teams.
Team WOW:
Raju/Nitesh/Jayesh/Aaji/Neha
Team MEOW:
Sonu/Chaxu//Nilesh/Lisa/Mahi
Many of you might be wondering why Aaji is on the list, even though she is older I strongly suggest she be our point of communications with the elders as most of us work and dont really get a chance to speak to the elders unless its the weekend. She is NOT required to play the game, but I have put her on a team anyway...I would assume she will probably be the only other elder besides my mom and maybe Moti Phoi who will actually come but we will see.
You may not switch teams. The day prior to the event I will also call/email everyone and provide a list of items each person must bring. This should be a strange yet exciting event. No touching…especially you Dadu.
Also, I suggest you all ask your questions now rather then wait until the last moment...ask away.
Also, if anyone loses any emails or clues or etc...please email me...as we move ahead with this I will update the www.sahilvpatel.com website and post all information there along with emailing everyone.
I will also assume Mahek (Chaxu and "The Beast" 's daughter) and Neha will come since this is going to be a omni event...
Regards,
Sahil

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR EVENT
06/09/2008
Congratulations to both teams for making it this far…we are at the 1 week mark. Weather permitting our dinner/event will be this Saturday, June 14th…there will be clouds in the sky, making it a perfect day so we don’t bake “enantion” inside the venue…If it rains, our rain date will be the following day which is Sunday, June 15th…Operation Swift began as the conquering gift of god was taken away…the southern soldier was incorrect as he almost ruined it for his entire battalion by nearly tripping on a mine, remember the south lost…he would have lost his foot and dishonored time.
Schedule
Breakfast will be at my house starting at 9AM…I will be serving fresh waffles, scrambled eggs, hash browns along with toast and various juices. We will depart at around 10:15AM.
Items to bring: This will update on 06/14/2008.
Address: This will update the morning of the event and will be given by hand. (We will most likely take 2-3 cars. Probably 2…but if Mahi and Moti Phoi come we will need 3…I assume they would…yes babies are allowed and will be fine at this venue.
At this point each team has until Thursday morning (9AM EST) of this week to provide me with an emailed copy with your team members names (does not have to be signed) with the answer to the riddle. If each team fails to provide the exact location of the venue, I will publish all the clues on this site Thursday morning and each team will have 1 more chance to guess on Saturday during breakfast. You may all check the website Thursday morning to see if the riddle was solved or not…I will not tell you the team that won until Saturday morning...at which time I will also hand out the winning prizes.
If you have not noticed…there is a clue in this post as well.
If anyone cannot make it this Saturday please let me know ASAP…I pushed it as far as I can because the last few weekends I had events to go to. After this weekend I will be booked for another 2 weeks so I’m hoping not to reschedule it and I know Raju is a bit anxious to go ahead with his dinner.

Clues to TEAM WOW |
Clues to TEAM MEOW |
|
1) "UPS does not deliver here unless...you are a shell" (05/07/2008) 2) "Branch 11 of the USPS was closed down due to the population decline, to this day the population is dwindling but on the up and coming due to the housing market increase of the previous years. The views are breathtaking but this area has HAD a bad reputation…its funny because regardless of where you go this type of area always has elephant ears." (05/12/2008) 3) He received his commission as a lieutenant in the Navy, after serving a number of years he was given posthumously the Medal of Honor for his heroic conduct on the battlefield and for giving his life in Vietnam by saving multiple others. His official ceremony for his funeral was held January 7. He was also known as a Servant of God. (05/15/2008) 4) "The year the music died, James left his post without warning and the nineteenth month war ended. The remainders of a Servant of God where found at this time, the pope confirmed this. Its best you look back prior to looking any further, chances are your course may be headed towards uncharted terror. The music was never alive but chances are you felt the lack of ValPak if you where alive to witness this point in time." (05/19/2008) 5) "This year common sense emerged and peace was set in motion at a specific event, the bifocals must have blurred his vision but the oldest of three brothers new the location very well. Negotiations did not work out to well because during the leap of life, many individuals simply did not leap far enough." (05/22/2008) 6) VERBAL CLUE GIVEN TO NITESH… “Put yourself in the place of the soldier” (06/09/2008) |
1) "Miller, not the beer…is light due to years of wear and tear." (05/07/2008)
2) "The Irish American population lives well with the Hispanic population here, even though both cultures have varied diverse backgrounds, they tend to have a drink or two together as there views can be breath taking. It might be a significant housing market increase in the previous years or the "whale tails" but the area has seen its share of improvements." (05/12/2008) 3) This was a picture clue…
This clue is a image but please be very careful, sometimes things are not what they seem, but those who see beyond the direct may actually find something useful. I suggest you analyze the file, you might need the help of an engineer. Team work will provide the information needed. The bonus clue, if the engineer found it was… “If you are reading this, you are very smart. The turtle was installed a few years back and is a amazing experience for children. Because you are so smart, I am going to give you a bonus clue. He received his commission as a lieutenant in the Navy, after serving a number of years he was given posthumously the Medal of Honor for his heroic conduct on the battlefield and for giving his life in Vietnam by saving multiple others. His official ceremony for his funeral was held January He was also known as a Servant of God.” (05/15/2008) 4) The year the music died, James left his post without warning and the nineteenth month war ended. The remainders of a Servant of God where found at this time, the pope confirmed this. The realm of communications is the basis of getting to know your inner self, they say if you stare at someone long enough you might just find there humanity and dignity as it is not that different from your own. The music was never alive but chances are you felt the lack of ValPak if you where alive to witness this point in time." Judging by the flying turtle in the last clue, its not hard to see why a why would fly here...and its funny because the flying turtle has friends.” (05/19/2008) 5) "This church from this movie which depicts the strings of life being pulled by a higher being but not god, higher in the sense of political power…this church is located near the area in question…think Deanna." If you need help simply look at the file attached. The file attached was… Click here for image (It is a imbedded image and cannot be shown unless link is clicked on) The bonus clue if you “looked” was… If you found the bonus clue in the other file, congrats that you where smart enough to find this bonus clue...97500 from 08830 (05/22/2008)

MUTUAL CLUES “Operation Swift began as the conquering gift of god was taken away…the southern soldier was incorrect as he almost ruined it for his entire battalion by nearly tripping on a mine, remember the south lost…he would have lost his foot and dishonored time.”Bonus clue was given verbally to Nitesh of WOW and this bonus clue was..."put yourself in the shoes of the soldier" (06/09/2008) "The woman that is seen from this location is the most amazing mother to all." (06/10/2008) "During the height of friendship the sandals showed the true route. We move forward behind this person, as they lead us to the true form of humanity. The seven continents and the seven seas are our only barriers…Little Oysters cannot be seen but it can, The running mate of Hannibal is a "character" from World Of Warcraft which was the reason for the Southern battle…causing the South to lose. The cats in the cradle and sleeping, its time to wake, kitty....and say MEOW…if you think you have solved the riddle, I suggest you look at the image attached…if you are good at computers you will know what to do, as the computer cant lie…but it can hide." (06/11/2008) - Image that was included in email...
This image had a bonus clue within the file, Nilesh should have known to look for it since it was in the other image clues as well...the bonus clue was...You found it..."You have 2 choices, currently you are probably moving toward the right...which eventually leads south...trust me...continue forward." Private clue given to Raju (06/12/2008) - Goes with clue above. "The image is detailed at the end of the ENTIRE clue for today…but remember sometimes being the "bear" in hide and seek is not the person/animal you want to be…try and be the "seeker" seek the image, and instead of a stick, you have your computer as a tool." - Do you remember when Sonu and I and you would play hide and seek in the basement? |
