Tony Hawk's Twitter Hunt (#THTH) Rules!
This guide will help save me (us) time and energy in trying to interpret the flood of Tweets & replies we'll be reading on April 23rd. Yes, I have some help. These aren't necessarily rules; just a few guidelines for making the day a success.
IF YOU FIND A #THTH PACKAGE: please reply to @tonyhawk with the city, state (or country if outside USA), the word "FOUND", and a photograph of the package in your possession. An example of a "found" tweet would be: @tonyhawk Louisville, KY FOUND. So excited! (photo attached). A photograph is our only real way of distinguishing between a fake "found" tweet and a real one. We have received fake ones in the past and it makes everything even more difficult to keep track of. If the hider happens to be there when you find the package have him or her take a photo of you with it. They'll gladly help you declare that the package has been claimed.
IF YOU FIND A #THTH PACKAGE AT THE SAME EXACT TIME AS SOMEONE ELSE: May I suggest dividing it up? Can't we all get along?
IF YOU ARE SEARCHING TO NO AVAIL: the package you are looking for may have been found, but not claimed properly via Twitter. This can happen if someone doesn't know how to post Tweets via their phone, or doesn't direct their "FOUND" message to @tonyhawk. In other words, people who don't know how to use Twitter have sabotaged us with these mistakes in the past. I have a small crew diligently looking for these messages so we can get the information out fast and avoid people traveling great distances and/or searching for hours.
BE SAFE: don't speed, trespass or play Frogger in traffic. Also, don't run with scissors.
IF YOU HATE YOUR TIMELINE BEING FLOODED WITH #THTH TWEETS: Stop following me for the day. Please don't send me messages that I am "spamming" or "raping" your timeline. Silence is one click away.
IF YOUR CITY DOESN'T GET INCLUDED: I'm sorry. We had limited help & only so much stuff to give away. Maybe next time.
IF YOU LIVE NEAR SAN DIEGO: watch for clues to an event that day. Lots of free stuff, including entertainment for the whole family.
