Alright, few facts about this video:

1) The song is "Ol' Man River" by Jeff Beck off of the Truth album.
2) Ol' man river was originally in the 1927 musical "Show Boat"
3) The song is talking about the Mississippi River, which would make sense, since Catherwood said the highway sign is the Luling Bridge crossing.
4) "three score eighteen"- Score stands for "20" so, 3 score would be 60. 18 could then mean 78 or 6018

I'm studying the video now, get back to you ASAP

Interesting info:
1) The Luling Bridge is also knows as the "Hale Boggs Memorial Bridge"
2) Also might be intersting to note:

Turns out there is also a monument somewhere, but I just cant find it...

HMMM, well. We had to water flowers at the previous monument. Maybe THIS monument will have our next message??

EDIT: Crap, I'm having a hell of a time finding the memorial to this crash... maybe someone else has some information.

Monument is at the St. John the Baptist Parish Courthouse

http://www.stjohnclerk.org/

I believe the monument is the obelisk looking thing in the header image. It sits on a street that butts up against the river.

there is a link to a Times-Picayune article at the end of the wikipedia entry on the ferry disaster. there is a subtitle of monument controversy which clearly states two possible locations - the existing memorial at st john the baptist courthouse in edgard, and a playground underneath the bridge where people would like a memorial.

given that the previous location was an accident memorial on church grounds and not the accident site itself, it is fairly likely to be the edgard location.
creepily enough, to get from kenner to edgard, you actually have to cross over the bridge and the accident site. i cant see any obvious connection between the two disasters, except for obviously being accidents that killed multiple people. out of all the natural disasters with fatalities that have hit the new orleans area, maybe its significant he is picking human-caused disasters?

anyway, the address for the church is Highway 18, Edgard. the question is when? are the three crescent moons at the start of the clip significant for this?

its gonna cost a lot of money if this guy wants to put down 78 roses!

i think this is just the 'where' video. there was a 'when' video before for the other memorial so i guess we just have to wait it out. other than the moons there is no text, no numbers (except the signage but i guess thats purely for the bridge location), no aztec deity symbols!
of course the anniversary of the accident is coming up, but i think it would be a bit risky leaving a msg there on the date itself. too easily moved by people who would actually come to commemorate the day.

this is my first ARG and i am loving it so far! hahaha

owo Teehee, I've missed a lot. I think that the best bet for the next location is the courthouse.. Like Lauren said, the playground doesn't match up with the previous site. Let's keep it in mind anyway though, just in case. Can't wait for the next vid telling us when. Fun fun stuff. =D

I believe thats an Ouroboros (and it would fit in, due to the running theme of "eternity", which the ouro could be a symbol of) but I could be wrong... Just in case I'm going to give that daysign guide a lookover and see if any of them are similar..

EDIT: Checked the daysign guide. Looks like "coatl" which means snake. http://www.azteccalendar.com/trecena/Coatl.html It doesn't stand for a specific day, but rather a period of 13 days.. So the next meeting is October 16th, perhaps?

Would anyone like a transcript of the video, or are we cool on that?

this would be the spoken word version of the message that was lost at the first site?
not sure what he says at the end 'your fate has been...' to my own or to my home or something?

26 '3's in the description. anything significant about the number 26?

nice couch in the garage too hahaha. and the mask has 3 x's on it - maybe our PM is straight edge!
