FB Post 6/28 – Only one, 7/02

[Sean]

Facebook post:

only one 7/02
this friday,
pay attention,
prepare,
secure your place

Now does that mean only one is being invited to the event or only one will be selected with more later?

Edit: @nothenrygale is probably right about this one.

OSDM has an open invitation to come over and meet our dinosaurs and taxidermy. Wanna pwn a couple of infosec professionals? We’ll give you a head start…

My interpretation is only one is being selected on Friday for something on 7/02. It says “Secure your place” rather than “secure the place”

[Kyle Bown]

Secure your place…

Does that mean secure your home, or does that mean secure your place for Friday?

[Briana]

Secure your place…

Does that mean secure your home, or does that mean secure your place for Friday?

@bruinbown oh man, my new apartment is so cute! I’d happily secure my place to open up to them. wait- that’s an oxymoron. I mean, Morgan “secured his place” and they still got in. Either way, do they need my address? jk

@brianamatopoeia Yeaaaah, and let’s not forget that you need a key fob to get into the building, then you need that same key fob to enter the elevator. After that, picking a door isn’t so hard.

I think it means friday, a special event brite notice halpens, with limited (first come/first served) mentality

[David R.]

Can always hope for both, @bruinbown.

[Addison]

Could “only one” also mean only “The One”?

Pay attention / prepare – could something be changing here on the site that could be solved and open whatever the thing is?

[Megan]

On Friday someone will be selected for an event on 7/2 – for a second I thought it meant the event was Friday. I’m flying to Los Angeles *tomorrow* for a wedding and was like I CAN SKIP THE WEDDING.

This is interesting, when I first saw it I thought it meant only one person, and the more I think about it I don’t actually think that’s the only one.

Could it be only one faction/group/family? Only one could maybe be a person or character we’ve met or have yet to meet. From the past experiences, things are often not what they seem and we are always surprised by the outcome, like when Sabrina showed up at the Iconfidant meet up, I think that there is something deeper here.

[Briana]

ooooh, this sounds so ominous.

[Lukas L]

I would like to think “seure your place” is an intentional double entendre as well as only one. I thought the same thing @addisonborn did when I read that!

[Anonymous]

Hmm…

It would seem either

A) We will be given a task and will be forced to compete for that singular slot.
B) We are supposed to choose amongst us who will go.

I’m somewhat leaning towards B as that is something they tend to like to study from us.

But who knows. This is one of those things where we will need a nudge on.

[Adina Cohen]

Oooooooh cool.

Being that I’m still practically a lurker. I don’t think it’ll be me. But I’m still excited!

Hearing about how everything goes down is always fascinating.

I think everyone will have to decide. Or they open the event bite and sell literally one ticket. XD

[Sean]

I’d be pretty surprised if they do it first-come-first-served. That’s not normally their M.O.

[Andrew Kasch]

I nominate Confused Andy.

[Michael Rizzo]

I’d put my money on a first come first serve idea. The fact it said “pay attention” makes me think it’ll be an event Brite link posted on FB as @theladyj guessed. When it came to choosing someone, it usually just says only one, “secure your place” makes me think it’ll be completely up to whoever snags it first.
