On the morning of August 24th at approx. 6:45 am est, gamers revieved another email from Rachel Blake directing them to “Find the Apollo Bars. Then go to www.whereisalvar.com“.

During the evening of August 23rd, whereisalvar.com went live. Rachel explains that when gamers acquire an Apollo bar, that they take a picture of themselves with it, and upload it to the site.
One thing in particular that gamers are to look out for is a “Golden Oracle” bar which has a special code on the back. When enough of the Golden Oracle bars are found, Rachel says that she will provide more information on what to do next.
Kay, Now I’m REALLY FRIGGIN PISSED that they are not giving away Apollo bars in Hawaii. Damn ARG BASTAGES!

Well, unfortunatly, because of a damn business trip, I missed out on undoubtably the biggest event in the ARG todate. The DJ Dan live podcast. Fortunately, there are TONS of loyal gamers who recorded it, and broke it down, and I doubt that I would be able to add anything to it. I can, however, provide a basic recap of what was in the podcast.
For those of you who don’t have speakers on you computer at work, you can find the transcript from the podcast on Lostpedia.
What we learn from the Live Podcast:
Dan gives leads for two glyphs:One to appear Monday August 14 in New York City (”la manzana grande”) in a “prominant touristy location that rhymes with ‘fresh air’” (likely Times Square)
One faxed to him which was left on his studio door and found on August 12 at Radio Harvest
Dan claims that both Lost and Bad Twin are non-fiction, portraying actual events and actions of the Hanso Foundation and related characters.
Dan believes that Enzo Valenzetti could still be alive (his favorite theory is that he was “caught under the wheels of his combine at his family farm in the Swiss Alps”)
Dan mentions that the Vik Institute has “verified a figure”, but that he doesn’t know what it is yet, presumably related to the Valenzetti Equation.
Dan denies being Peter Thompson, Speaker, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, or working for The Hanso Foundation. He makes a point of repetitively mocking “this guy” Javier.
Dan referred to the Karma Imperative as the band Keith Strutter was in before founding Geronimo Jackson.
This name (first mentioned in 7/10 podcast) is a malapropism of the DHARMA Initiative.
Dan doesn’t believe in nanotechnology, and specifically tells a caller that you will not see it on TV come September.
Speaker calls in, Dan jokes that he’d better not be the guy who runs the Javi Minions fan site; he later calls him Andy (which also happens to be the name of the guy who runs Javi Minions)
His announcer’s name is Johnny, and one of his roadies is named Louis.
DJ Dan was at Comic-Con
Dan seems fairly obsessed by donuts, and makes repetitive mention of them
A mysterious caller named Malek (the “fixer” from Rachel’s videos) called in with a message for Rachel Blake and said the following numbers:
240 249 68 61 37 118 75 233 231 150 36 184 157 51 144 180 253 50 173 30 222 192 13 82 1
Each of these numbers is a page from the book Bad Twin. Take the first letter of the first word from each page and you get: “I know where he is, I can set it up!”

On August 9th, glyph 30 with the code “E2LL1Z5E” was found in the links section on Rachel Blake’s cover page to her hidden blog.

On August 8th, Glyph 29 (KU12PB5LV7) was found on the July 24th post on Rachel’s Stop Hanso blog. There is now a gap below the previously posted glyph, and games found that when then float their cursor over it, the new glyph will flash.
