A word about the site: the Cathedral Our Lady of the Ligne exists on a few more dimensions than you can represent on a map. It rises and it falls over time and in different places. Sometimes outside agencies quibble about one or more of the Cathedral's dimensions: like - "how come you put it on State Land?" Always implied in such questions is the Phattic meta-message: "you fucking felon." So we don't put them on State Land anymore - our parts to our Cathedral. The Rose Window, for instance hangs on a branch which is clearly spread over Private Property. The trunk of the Tree is, however, squarely on State Land. A Cathedral, like the Captain, and all its builders, is a dangerous construction bridging many dimensions.

In the Glory Shot above, and below, from left to right: that's Iwojima and next to him is the Captain's son with his two chillin below. Thomas Aquinas has his arm around JackyO and we all hate him for that. Then there's Toby, Iwojima's dog, the Captain - who is being elbowed out by Slag, then Bruno the Magnificent next to Bill Allen - who had a story about his art and his own workings with mudmen in the local paper yesterday. I don't know the name of that other little dog. But then neither does he, really - it's all just an Emic Skeuomorph to quadrupeds anyway.

The date on the poster below is not wrong; it's just not inclusive. We began the Athanorian Rose Window Mission in 2002 and originally planned a fall Hang in the same year. Things intervened. Things got in the middle. Like a mad year making Temple Bells. Then there were deaths in the family. Marriages. Foreign Wars. So it took until the Spring of 2005 to finish the Mission and install the Rose Window to the Cathedral Our Lady of the Ligne. There are only 2 Exceptionally Cool Cathedrals being built on the face of the earth right now. Ours is one.
