    Anyone else have problems getting the psychical badge that you get once going to the website listed? It says error when I try to go to it.
  • npyskaternpyskater October 2011
    Nevermind it worked from my phone.
  • JR1JR1 October 2011
    @npyskater What is the link to that webpage?
  • GaryFunk October 2011
    @npyskater. What is the link you are referring to?
  • collSULLYcollSULLY October 2011
    I read on the homepage that it's only available on the east coast. That sucks! Why wouldn't they do west coast too, he's based in LA anyway!
  • GaryFunk October 2011
    It looks like it is headed west following I 70.
  • JR1JR1 October 2011
    Anyone know the website link to get the actual psychical badge mailed to you? I have been looking all over and can not find it anywhere.
  • BeerknurdBeerknurd October 2011
    Weird, I can't get the form to come up...
  • BangGowesBangGowes October 2011
    Sigh...me too...:(
  • JMY October 2011
    You can only open up the form if you are checking in for the badge. The special shows up on the check-in page special.
  • JR1JR1 October 2011
    Just took a look at it and figured it out. The link to get the badge mailed to you is setup as an unlockable special. So in order to get it you have to checkin to the blimp in a way that counts you as actually being there not through 4sqr mobile. Since 4sqr mobile does not count you as actually being at the venue checkin in through 4sqr mobile will not allow you to unlock the venue special there for not allowing you to get the link to get the badge. Also do keep in mind that 3rd party apps the lie about your real location can get your acct flagged and blocked. So unless someone finds out what the link to the page is where you fill out the form to get the badge mailed the only people that get the badge mailed to them might be those that actually checkin while looking at the blimp for real.

    To add to @JR1 point, I tried something and it worked! I went into my app, found the conan blimp venue (by looking at my badges, and clicking on the unlock venue). I then checked into it. Now, I didn't get any points becauase it said I was too far away, BUT I unlocked the special anyway! The special unlocked and gave me a link to a form to fill out to have the badge mailed to me. It said will take 1-2 weeks to arrive. I would recommend everyone do that, in case they check your email address that you fill out in the form with those that have unlocked the special. But just in case, here's the link for everyone:

  • choad17choad17 October 2011
    I tried checking in and it did not unlock the special for me. Does the blimp have to be in the air to get the special? If so, it will not take off until 7pm St. Louis time
  • RainWave23RainWave23 October 2011
    Did you check-in using an app on a smart phone? Or using mobile web? You have to do it from an app. Also, I did it right before I posted my instructions above, which was less than an hour ago, and it worked. So it shouldn't matter if it's in the air or not.
  • choad17choad17 October 2011
    I just did it from my smartphone. I already have the badge from when it was in NY. I checked in with my phone and the special was still locked. Also your link just redirects me to http://teamcoco.com/blimp
  • choad17choad17 October 2011
    Nevermind I figured it out.
  • JR1JR1 October 2011
    Ok so I tried at again and found something else out. If you checkin using 4sqr mobile and then goto checkin history on your smartphone it will show that you have unlocked the special and let you goto the link to get the badge. I just tried it with 2 diffrent test accts and it worked for both of them.
  • iamciamc October 2011
    JR, when I do that, it says I earned it on my first check-in, and there is no link to fill out a form. (I used my check-in where I earned the badge)
  • JR1JR1 October 2011
    @iamc I just tried it a little while ago with my main acct that I already had the badge on and it would not work with that one. So I deleted the checkin from that acct and checked in again (4sqr mobile) and it worked with that acct as well. I dont know when you got the badge but when I first unlocked the badge the special was not even available. So I am guessing that is why it did not work for my main acct.
  • BeerknurdBeerknurd October 2011
    @iamc You will have to checkin again to unlock the special. I don't think that was available when we originally got the badge.
  • iamciamc October 2011
    Deleted both previous check-ins, and of course lost the 4sq badge. Checked in again (mobile site), earned the badge. Went to history, clicked the venue, still says I earned it on my first check-in :(
  • choad17choad17 October 2011
    Just open safari on your mobile phone and go to http://theconanblimp.com/patchform

    It has to be from your mobile device
  • iamciamc October 2011
    Thank you @choad17! That worked! :)
  • BeerknurdBeerknurd October 2011
    Thanks @choad17!
  • diegoluisaviladiegoluisavila October 2011
    Can anyone tell me if you can earn this badge using the mobile site? I'm currently in NYC, and I saw people from Thailand and Indonesia who got it yesterday. Tried checking in from the mobile site, didn't work (tried deleting the check-in 3 times) I had checked into NYC venues earlier that day though, so I suppose the distance (NYC to St. Louis) had something to do? I can't figure it out.
  • neiceekneiceek October 2011
    it should work, following the above instructions at the top of the page.
  • neiceekneiceek October 2011
    i got it also yay
  • RainWave23RainWave23 October 2011
    I just got my physical badge in the mail! Here's a link to the pic: http://t.co/bKqXrnG8
  • iamciamc October 2011
    me too!
  • DanDan October 2011
    Ok Rain I'm lost...where is the form on the link you posted?
  • HarjifangkiHarjifangki October 2011
    So, you can only get the physical badge if you live in US?
    I mean, I live in other country, can I still get the physical badge?
  • youngf88youngf88 October 2011
    Nice! Still waiting for mine. Hope it comes soon.
  • mcp7amcp7a October 2011
    I did the second check-in using my phone. 4square said that i´m too far away. But the special link appears. I use a symbian system. I fill out the form BUT i think they just send to USA because there isn´t a place for country. But on the city i put city, state and country. Maybe (cross finger) it will arrive.
  • BeerknurdBeerknurd October 2011
    I got my physical badge today too!
  • biksackybiksacky October 2011
    Blimp has been in Chicago for the past day, grounded at DuPage County Airport. Hope it will be back in the air the 21st. Don't know flight plan or it's next city.

    Team Coco will be randomly selecting one person this week who checks in to the Conan Blimp and another who visits the New York Museum of Conan Art to win a ride on the blimp.

Howdy, Stranger!
