NIN Google Earth Treasure Hunt Part 3

Before unsuccessfully guiding friends over the phone through a Nine Inch Nails ticket finding mission in a cemetery on Thursday night, I received an email from NIN telling me that physical concert tickets were waiting for me at a hotel in Marina del Rey. I woke up early Friday morning to pick them up on my way to the South Bay for business. Before I left, I checked the Google Earth NIN map and found that all hell had broken loose...

There were 21 pairs of tickets scattered all over the LA area!

I called a bunch of friends, starting with the one who spent over an hour in the cemetery with no luck. He went after the tickets in Studio City with the clue "Check the payphones." I decided to go after the one in Los Feliz in case he was too late. The clue: "You'll know it when you see it." Turns out we were both too late. All I found was a dead Christmas tree knocked over on a vacant plot of land in a residential neighborhood. My friend found a note from the person who beat them to it at the payphones.

I got a call from a guy I met at the NIN resistance meeting concert last year. He was in front of the Natural History Museum in Exposition Park. He also thought he was too late. His clue: "Right under the Triceratops' nose." He looked all around the statue of the dinosaur... the mouth, the nose, the ground... and finally found the tickets under a rock at the base of the statue right under the Triceratops's nose!

I jumped back in the car and started heading toward the hotel to pick up my tickets. I broke out my laptop and noticed another ? location was on the way. The clue: "Drive-through menu." Without internet access, I couldn't zoom in, but I had a general idea of where it was. I got some better directions over the phone. I made a right off of Beverly Blvd. onto Western Ave. There must be a fast food restaurant... KFC!

I pulled into the parking lot, parked my car and ran over to the drive-through menu. Nothing around the front of the sign. Looked around the back the sign...

I found NIN concert tickets in a Kentucky Fried Chicken drive-through! Finger Lickin' Good! Now my friend who came up empty-handed at the cemetery and payphones could go too!

Yes, there's more... Here's Part 4...

Or go back to the beginning... Part 1...
