IF YOU ANAGRAM EVERY WORD OF THE 1ST CLUE IT HAS A SECRET MESSAGE:

"DON'T GO LOOKING TOO EARLY, MEET FRIENDS, DRINK A LITTLE AND SAVE YOUR ENERGY FOR WHEN YOU NEED IT".

My take on the 1st clue is that it's in a park and if you really go out on a limb the park could have a critters name in in it ala "Beaver Lake Park."  But thats a stretch.

Coots is an anagram of scoot.  A coot is some kind of water fowl.  Or an old, generally bald, man.

I thought that we were going to find another way to choose for those who couldn't attend?

Im still high bidder on the Medallion.  Come on guys bid the money goes to a GOOD cause.  All the money goes to the parks, this should help the hunt.

Then it says -

Scribe and Me2 have volunteered to treat the winner of this vote to a romantic evening.

So I guess we need to find a park that has scootin' cooters? Is that it?

nah...I was up most of the nite with the girls sick...very little sleep with a nap today....

If we go with the follow info from "one line"

The 4th line "And stuck it in a park — so scoot!" would be the line that means something.

Since we know "a park" is information we need for the location.... perhaps the rest of that line is the right place to look for more.

And perhaps I'm just trying to hard.

I'm really tinkin' this clue is just telling us..

new writer...new game...back like OLD style...

I still think its in st.paul....

I got a feeling clue 2 can tell us what park if when figure it out...maybe a street name.

That would be way sweet if it was back to old style.
I was kidding about the cooter thing.
I mostly wait till the 3rd or 4th clue before I get too keyed about anything.

I'm thinking tonight's clue will refer to the movie. Last year clue #2 referred the archie comic book and the movie is way cooler than that. Also, they don't want to give us too much information but can still have a cool clue. I'd actually be suprised if there wasn't a movie reference.

I'll be at the PP.

I'm thinking about heading down to the PP tonight, if I can convince Lina to come and if I can get a bunch of work done between now and then. Maybe see some of you there. This clue, let's not read to much into it. It's just your basic stuff.
