| Here is my theory on the location of the drop in Marsh Chapel. There is a stained glass portrait of Lincoln inside. One of the clues referenced "Blind Tom" Wiggins. Blind Tom was in fact a slave. Another portion of the clue indicated a quote circa 1860. Lincoln was elected president in 1860. Also, the stained glass has a quote right above Lincolns head. The quote may not refer to one from Blind Tom because not only was Blind Tom autistic, but in 1860 he was only 11 years old. I think the drop will be near or under the Lincoln portrait. |

I'm inclined to agree with this assessment of the clues. Here is an excerpt from the Marsh Chapel website.
| Quote: | | Two 19th century leaders are found pictured in the last window: Abraham Lincoln and Frances Willard, who was the dean at Northwestern University and one of the early and great leaders of the women's movement. |

The only part of that poster that looks out of the ordinary to me is the Green 'B line to bu Central t stop |
I live in Boston. Green line is a public transit line (green=above ground) there are several branches of the green line. The B line is the one that goes by BU. Central is the name of the stop along the Green line B train.
It is nothing secretive, its just directions.

drop in progress. Just started
| Quote: | <marlasinger> She's looking for her fiance, who should be meeting her there.
<marlasinger> Skunk - apparently it looks like people love just hanging out outside
<marlasinger> she's in the main part of the church - she's going towards the big stained glass window with ABE on it
<marlasinger> she's approaching the pews next to the window
<marlasinger> The church itself is totally empty |

| Quote: | <marlasinger> Just looked under all the pews - she will check the piano in a minute
<marlasinger> The pews under the window doesn't look like anything.
<marlasinger> She's checking in the book holders too
<marlasinger> she's just put her cell away so that she doesn't disturb anyone |

| Quote: | <marlasinger> She's upstairs now, looking around. right around the stained glass window
* marlasinger she's upstairs but it looks like none of the pews are actually near or under the stained glass window of Abe - the balcony stops before the window
* marlasinger she's made it through about half of the pews upstairs
* marlasinger I doubt she can check INSIDE the piano...the files are INSIDE the computer

| Quote: | * marlasinger she's working her way down the stairs again - we're looking for heads in general. There is a stained glass window upstairs by the balcony and it has saints on it - lots of heads there, but no drop as of yet.
* marlasinger checking piano
* marlasinger she'll do her best - I don't want to get her arrested - there are people inside the church now
* marlasinger being inside the piano would be very obstructive to whoever PLAYS
* marlasinger we think it would have to be somewhere
* marlasinger as for right now, she's quiet again, as she's at the front of the church checking!
* marlasinger what about "above below" the head - both would imply eye level or the head itself, right?
* marlasinger as in, above something that is below my head is either ON my head or eye level
* marlasinger skunk - right, good, that's better than my theory
* marlasinger there were tons of heads on the balcony
* marlasinger all saints
* marlasinger nothing that looked remotely related, but checked the pews anyway
* marlasinger she will
* marlasinger as soooooon as she gets back on th ephone i shall tell her |

| Quote: | * marlasinger she's scowered everything on the downstairs - she looked under the piano, udner the bench, all over the piano - she couldn't open it though
<marlasinger> Something is about to get started
<marlasinger> people are coming into the church
* marlasinger okay guys listen UP
* marlasinger if you can please
* marlasinger people started coming into the church, so she turned her phone off for a moment. She's going upstairs to the balcony to check EVERYTHING she can. I will call her back in 10 minutes. I"m on the line with Panda and we're discussing what might be going on
* marlasinger but it'll be up to us to draw any conclusions abotu saints or anything] |

DROP FOUND
| Quote: | * marlasinger maddison - we've looked on the main floor near lincoln - and upstairs in most pews - and searched the whole piano also
<marlasinger> THEY GOT IT~
* marlasinger THEY GOT IT
* marlasinger it was under a pew in the balcony - dead center of the balcony there was a little symbol/insignia, underneath the bottom of the pew!
* marlasinger it's another page from the "Oh Say can you Say" - the "When the drops start dropping"
* marlasinger zeros and ones at top, binary, some tablature, and drawings of a house, a tree, and happy purple-haired person
* marlasinger with a giant smile and a tongue
* marlasinger it was just folded in thirds - no envelope or anything
