usually I'd be all over this puzzle, but i'll let you guys take care of it since it hurts my brain to even look at the comments.

I'm doing this by hand and I'm reasonably sure it's a portrait of Martin Lurther King Jr. with some red and blue decorations on the sides of him.

the top 20 or so rows look like a hairline and the bottom rows with the big black numbers i assume to be his shoulder area.

i'll do some of the middle numbers to see if i get a face

EDIT: ya its squirrelly in the middle but I'll say it looks like a neck and mouth from ag4

Since we figured the clue was for a statue of MLK, Jr - then this would be the confirmation of it. There must be a statue in the park.

Good teamwork, gang! Now to confirm our agents available for the pickup (and documentation of said meet).

I've been lurking on the sidelines, watching in amazement the great work all of you are doing.
I think I finally have something to contribute. Well, two somethings.

Here's a link to a picture of the the statue of Martin Luther King Jr. in Lincoln Park, Albany. Tomorrow I'll try to do some research on the monument itself.

Taking a closer look at the circulatory system image on http://13lights.org/ and comparing it to the GoogleBook version; page 456 in case that's important (the gif is entitled "page"), it seems as though a paragraph has been added. I've attached an image with the section circled. The best that I can make it out to read is (question marks are where I have no clue):

I'm pretty sure it says "Alva" and the second word you couldn't understand is "changes". Not 100% sure, though.

anybody else turn this up? Just more 13's is all...St. Philomena's feast day is Sept 9th.

http://www.2heartsnetwork.org/Philomena.htm

ST. PHILOMENA CHAPLET

This chaplet consists of 3 white beads and 13 red beads.
On the medal say the Apostles Creed to ask for the grace of faith.
...
On each of the red beads, which are 13 in number to represent the 13 years that St. Philomena spent on earth, say the following prayer:

Hail, O holy St. Philomena...

just updating on the drawing of MLK, im 75% done with only the top right quad left out. its definitely just a portrait pose, i was hoping that perhaps there would be a clue towards something in there, but none that I found so far. It does seem that there will be a lot of background space behind he head in the upper right, but it is probably just goign to be the old red white and blue. I dont know if ill finish it tomorrow, my eyes hurt lol
