CLUE #20 - FOUND!

*Please read the rules! Do not remove clues!! *

*Do not pester the employees! They do not know about the clue!*

Congratulations to Sylvia Hurtado for finding Dinosaur #20!

I realized I had done a piss-poor job of documenting this hunt, so I went back today to see if the clue was still in place. I figured due to the large amount of dust on the tops of the shelves at Alexander Book Company I wouldn't have to worry too much about the employees discovering the clue. I was right.

Looking inside the hole this is what you see...

Also, Sylvia works at a frame shop in SF! She said she'll hook anyone who wants to frame their dinosaurs with a discount!

CLUE #10 - FOUND!

Congratulations to Rue, and her dad Donny for finding Dinosaur #10!

Mabuhay Gardens was a punk venue in the 80's that Black Flag, Flipper and the Dead Kennedy's played at. It was located at 443 Broadway, and stopped having shows long before I could have been interested in attending them. At the former Fab Mab, hunters found this flyer:

(the date shows up when I scan this. I blacked it out to avoid confustion)

Club Cocodrie was a club that I got to play at, first with Flat Planet and later with Link 80 (actually, the show with Flat Planet was with Link 80, so that was my first time seeing them). It's also across the street from the Lusty Lady. I felt super weird putting up flyers in front of this club 10+ years later, especially since it's now been divided up into office spaces. At this location, hunters found this flyer:

I've never been to the Purple Onion, but Zach Galfinakis filmed a special there that you can stream on Netflix there. Another flyer at this location send hunters on a long walk:

This venue is now a coffee shop next to Cobb's Comedy Club. I stuck the painting under a planter box and marked the location with a sticker. Perfect height for this little hunter to come along and find it!

MORE CLUES THIS WEEKEND! TELL YOUR FRIENDS! SPREAD THE HIDE-O-SAUR LOVE!

Congratulations to Corissa and Kelly for finding ANOTHER dinosaur painting!

Upon arriving at the Banksy mural in Chinatown, it was plain to see that I had covered the area in dinosaur target stickers. A small sign next to one read FOLLOW, instructing the hunter to follow the stickers through Chinatown!

Around a few corners and down a couple of alleys led the hunters to a tree next to a park. Up in the tree was the painting, wrapped in a plastic bag and suspended by a string!
