Where in the World is MGMT?!

Google Maps is the Best

At 15th and Walnut, apparently.

That's where you'll find the Brooklyn twosome Fan Capturing like right now soon. They just posted the clue (as expected, it was a set of co-ordinates: 39.949707 -75.165456). So run, little kiddies! Run! Only 6 of you will get to be like captured or whatever!

Oh yeah: The password is "kidneybean" so yell that like a maniac at everybody you see. Or type it into a secret dance-pop kiosk. Not sure.

UPDATE: Hmm, the MGMT site for this wild goode chase says the password is "kidneybeans" but their Twitter says it's "surfbum." So, better yell/type both things. Also their tweet takes the fun our of geocaching by giving the address (1429 Walnut) along with the longitude/latitude. Kinda lame. Either way Google Maps give you the location right away.

Also: I guess MGMT won't technically be there until 3:30.

Oh: When you get there, look for the soaking wet person with a flag. That's the person to yell at. You should yell something like "Kidney bean is two words, you surf bum!"

And: If you are one of the lucky six, you gotta have the next two hours free to hang with MGMT on an adventure. I heard you're all gonna go see The Hurt Locker.

HA HA LAST UPDATE: Final word on this lil pubstunt goes to our pals at R5Productions, via Twitter:

@citypaper If by MGMT you mean a record label interns playing the new MGMT cd in a van

This has been: An update to my earlier post today: MGMT Mystery! Publicity Stunt! Geocaching!

I was one of the first people there today- the crew  took us in a van to the Mutter Museum, where we got to listen to the new album (via an oldschool CD walkman that was taped shut, preventing us from stealing the CD and leaking it online?). Then they took the CD walkman back, and sent us on our way. Womp Womp.
