 		The new Flickr pic looks like it's from the Nate blog header - "Friends of Nathan"

The comment/clue on the image looks like it's meant to be the Battle of Bunker Hill, but I can't get the clue from the blog straight away.

ETA: The second clue is for Igor Stravinsky (check the biography there, and this pic)

The connection between them seems to be June 17th - the date of the battle and Stravinsky's DOB.

Gustave, Édouard and Frédéric all put in their share.
Three fifty in two fourteen upon le bateau Isère.


Gustave, Edouard, and Frederic - all Bovet Brothers (excuse the awful background colour on this site) : http://www.rawbw.com/~hbv/horology/bovethis.html

There are also multiple artists with those names from the 19th century...

I think we're likely just looking for another link to June 17th...?

 		Nothing surprising given all of this, but RK's got a new YouTube video up that points to the founding of the Icelandic republic - June 17th. Woot.

 		Recent ongoings
An attempt to theorize what's happening
Okay. I'm a first-time poster, but a long-time watcher of the boards. Anyway ...

RK's video references the Islandic independence on June 17th.
The e-mail references the Kansas City Massacre on June 17th.
In RK's e-mail to Nathan and Jay, he gives the names of 3 Impressionist painters: Gustave (Courbet), Edouard (Manet), and Frederic (Bazille). I believe that they came from the same area: Isere. The Statue of Liberty was also shipped from France on a boat called Isere. And the numbers in the second sentence are quite significant. Most of the statue was shipped in 214 boxes and was in 350 pieces. It arrived in NY Harbor on June 17th.

My guess is that some important stuff is going to happen on June 17th, 13 days before Holomove goes public. But why would RK make mention of the Impressionist painters?

Quote:
Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi sculpted the statue and obtained a U.S. patent useful for raising construction funds through the sale of miniatures. Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (designer of the Eiffel Tower) engineered the internal structure.

Discussions in France over a suitable gift to the United States to mark the Centennial of the American Declaration of Independence were headed by the politician and sympathetic writer of the history of the United States, Édouard René de Laboulaye.

The comment refers to Sir Arthur Harden, who died on June 17, 1940, he also won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1929.

 		Why does it seem like this will be helpful?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_17

So there's a truckload of entries pointing to June 17th.
