Where in the World is Ender?

[Gravity Defier]

Ender and Bean, together again.

Chicago, IL

[elfprince13]

That tube thing in the background is really cool. What is it?

[Gravity Defier]

That's Cloud Gate, a.k.a. The Bean. It was a poor attempt at a joke but also something I thought was pretty recognizably Chicago.

Hoping to see more pictures and will, at the very least, take one in MN with the giant spoon.

I tried to get this started when I first started the site! Expect an LA-area follow up soon

[Gravity Defier]

Think EA reaches enough people to make a contest out of it? Maybe as the way to win a poster? Submit one, get entered into a drawing sort of thing?

You're a genius! We need Darian's permission...

[LilBee91]

O my goodness. This is awesome. I will have to come up with something genius. Except I don't have a copy of EG here! Can I do SftD instead?

Dude. Get people to print out Darian's Propaganda posters, and take a picture of them posted somewhere around town.

[elfprince13]

hmm, I wonder if I can get someone to let me in the stellarator exhibit room again (and if a bookstore around here carries Ender).

And then make them go viral. #ThirdInvasion

LOVE this!

Hmm. Interesting proposal. I was thinking of making rather large posters for my living room, personally, but I really would need original files from Darian to pull off the resolution.

Let me think on this and see if I can figure out how that work for me but yeah, I'm definitely behind anything that will encourage others to spread the EG love. While I was taking my picture, I had a group stop and talk to me about the book and how much they loved it. It was a really awesome moment, connecting with a stranger like that. I can't tell you the number of times I've stopped and thought to myself, "Because of a book..."

[KennEnder]

I'm debating whether or not I should actually take Ender on safari with me next month... it'd be kinda overboard just for a photo ... on the other hand, very cool

Please do!

[KennEnder]

would it count if I brought a digital copy on my ipod? lol.

[Gravity Defier]

As long as the words "Ender's" and "Game" are visible, then I don't see why not. The world is evolving; capture it in a picture. :)

[Cassandra]

Heading to San Fran next weekend and I hope to get a picture

[Dr. Mobius]

One of you brunette ladies needs to get a red trench coat and red fedora and "steal" Ender.

[Gravity Defier]

Minneapolis is not as photogenic as my beloved but alas:

Not great image:



Better image, ft Shannon's arms/hands:





Mmm. A spoonful of EG helps the medicine go down.

[KennEnder]

on safari in Africa

[Mich]

Welp. Was going to hang him off my building. Now know that I can't really beat "safari in Africa."

[Luet]

Awesome, Kenn!

[Gravity Defier]

That is great; I love it!

[steph]

[KennEnder]

Thanx!

Obviously Ender visited all the same places I did... The previous one was within sight of Kilimanjaro (although the mountain never deigned to show itself)...

This one is in a more "rustic" luxury camp in south-western Kenya, a part of the Serengeti:

[buckshot]

Awsome!

Beijing, Tian'anmen Square, looking at the entrance to the forbidden city.
Spanish version of the Ender's Game, epub

[Gravity Defier]

That is really cool, Jota. Is that close to where you're staying?


Probably not recognizably NYC but Natural History Museum.

[jotabe]

About one hour using public transportation... this is the first time i'm actively using the subway in a city with subway, so i don't know if it's normal, but switching from line to line in transfer stations is a time consuming task XD

[Jayelle]

This is about the best I can do, and it might be hard to tell, but you'll just have to trust me that this is...

Ender's Game in the eye of a hurricane:



(that tree is not normally bent like that - it's the wind)

[Gravity Defier]

That is cool (I say from a safe distance); has it gotten bad enough to be worrisome at all?

[Jayelle]

Not really. It's not as bad as Hurricane Igor was 2 years ago. We had our power go out for a couple of hours, but nothing else. I've seen pictures from around the island of roofs blown off houses, things tipped over and some trees ripped up, but not any really major damage.
