Newbie here, sorry if any of this is redundant. These are a couple of random musings I've had on things; they don't follow the previous discussion too much.

Firstly, I wonder if Jon meant astrological months when he was referring to the next month; in this case, the next month would be Capricorn, which, as people have noted started on December 22nd. How this would actually help things, I'm not sure--Perhaps Jon did not mean he would literally call people, but that we should use the info to dig up more information located elsewhere (long shot, I know). Following that train of thought, maybe someone could try looking up the time of dawn on the 22nd (or January 1st), and using that as a password somewhere.

Also, in relation to Capricorn, I found a webpage that detailed the astrological significance of Capricorn, though I'm not sure of the site's accuracy. It said the passwords for Capricorn were "I serve" and "I use"; it also mentioned the word "duty" as being associated with the sign. I did try these three words as well as their Latin versions and got nowhere in either the contract or the mezzanine; perhaps a more erudite Latin scholar than I could give it a try. For those interested, here's the site: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/4239/capricorn.html

Finally, I was looking at the weather map, and noticed that the weather symbols kind of looked like letters: specifically, "R", "G", "S", and "M" (for the smoke--this is something of a stretch). Unfortunately, these don't work well for any kind of encoding, and I'm not really sure how they would be arranged. It seems like the weather map should have some significance beyond offering a plausible zipcode, and this might have something to do with it.

All right, that's all for me.

The ninth gate has sooooo many similarities with jon's story, that i think at least one clue should be there...
i keep searching,
but the more i know about the ninth gate, the more i see where they got some of their inspiration (even my signature is from the ninth gate )

As far as Robert Johnson goes, my guess is that if the password has anything to do with one of his songs, it's probably Cross Road Blues, seeing how that's the one that deals directly with the whole selling-his-soul-to-the-devil thing.

nice job!!

now the 'confer' thing is all clear to me ...
but is he refering to the 2nd cache as the other work,
or is there a 'work' we're missing

(cf. (confer - the imperative of confero): compare; used to suggest that another work might also be consulted in relation to that argument)

i'll check the other abrev.'s....

Apologise in advance, but head screwed up too much with thinking about clues and so now am bored....
