Not sure if this means anything, but on Backstage, they spelt Glenn Miller's name wrong.

Only a musician who loves his music would know that (me... lol).

He was born Glen, and later changed his name to Glenn.

Only someone who does his research knows that... =)

Yes, but when he was a musician, hence the poster, his name was Glenn.

re: Backstage

The number of times the figures appear don't seem to matter. Playing one of each: Star Smiley Saturn Heart Butterfly Circle; I just recognized the tune. I believe the correct order would be: Star Smiley Saturn Heart Butterfly Circle Square.

eta: Btw, "Begin the Beguine" was made famous by Artie Shaw, not Glenn Miller; though both played during The Big Band era.

Room w/ a view has a seeming telephone # pattern(or lack of)
Where ever there is a 1 followed by an area code (looking for a 10 digit #)

...so far I have found only area codes that are never used when compared to this wiki page. Still looking.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_North_American_area_codes#300

I suspect it has to do w/ the order of her glasses lowering...The perspective may just be spectacles related.

What was the correct order Right, Down, Left, Up, Right, Down?

Anyone have that order in the correct order quickly at hand? My notes are elsewhere right now.

Room with a view*

The quote "A Matter of perspective"
after searching it brings up Anousheh Ansari the first female to experience provite space travel, the site features a "Space blog"
http://spaceblog.xprize.org/2006/10/03/a-matter-of-perspective/
I don't know if it means anything but I found it interesting that it involes private space travel...

Just wanted to post something that we've been working on for a while in chat concerning "Bulletin Board."

All of the pictured items seem to have been murder weapons used in Agatha Christie novels. Check it out here: http://www.angelfire.com/journal/mysteryfan/weapons.html

It's possible to identify some of the relevant novels (e.g., someone drowned in a metal tub used for bobbing for apples in "Halloween Party"), but there doesn't seem an obvious connection to the numbers on each picture or anything else..

Agatha Christie did disappear for 11 days in 1927, though.

Wiki says it's been for ten days on 1926:

Tried taking the colors and numbers as a height map.
This image is looking at the blocks as if the bottom were the front.

It kind of looks like it says SLIM ARIAL... been trying different words that it could be, but am stuck atm...
