Has anyone else noticed that the four events in America for the 2nd puzzle box are all aligned? You can draw a straight line from LA to Miami and it goes through Austin and Phoenix.

I wonder if it extends to Australia...

'''Notes:''' The coordinates are smack-dab in the center of the circle at the park, just to the left of the "gasworks". Also, the [[FAQ]] states that the Seattle event may be 21-and over. Possibly not the entire event, but just a celebration part of it. Likely alcohol related.
