I just tried to reconstruct page 62 and 63 from the excerpts I found on google books - hope that helps:
62
on a gas-mask from the nearly recent war, of my face being absorbed by its aromatic black rubber interior and taint of antique fear
Many employed stratagems of augury before they came; but their observation of the avian paths afforded them no insight, for their futures would be altered by the very fact of entering the factory.
They had no thread of ariadne. Of necessity, the story they had entered comprised many stories, yet their diverse personal narratives an many-layered time-scales evinced glimpses of an
Or according to another narrative, the factory contained a great secret. Beneath the ankle-deep oily water that covered the terrazzo floor of one particular murky corridor, discarded or lost objects could be detected
63
They called this the zone. The zone was not the factory, though it was of the factory and bore its aura. It was an interactive blueprint, not virtual, but narrative reality. It was called the zone in order to distinguish it from all other enclaves into which the previous city had been long divided, those were proper nouns with lineages of real names and topography behind them - shankil, falls, ardoyne, rosetta - and their nomenclators were maintained in high esteem. It was they who had been first consulted when the Zone appeared. Period eye-witness accounts are notoriously unreliable, though it is retrospectively agreed that something happened. some saw it as a tremor of the atmosphere, a visible shivering as if some new colour had been added to the spectrum; others felt the city bodily lifted up
One observer described, with great reluctance, how a brobdingnagian space vehicle had materialized above the city, its argus multitudes of portholes blinking in an alien morse. Pods had then evolved in lifeboat mode from the womb of the mother.

Do we? What are these locks?
All the discussion is on twitter and most of it is untagged. It's kind of irritating because I can't keep up with what's currently being talked about.

To give you a heads up:
theragtrade showed a countdown and a postcode.. this postcode is the one that lead to the street no alibies is on..
the "eraser" marks on the page is the outline of the logo of no alibies.. the bookstore..
Apparently Ana got another plastic sheet with some "holes" in it.. check the blog for the full views.
the clue that invisible belfast gave us on this was:
Quote:
The key is located with the city, it's collection is only open for a limited time. The lock is within the city, the key is a cipher of sorts
Also the following was said:
Quote:
Sometimes doubles do not look alike, mirror images are distorted, replications mutate. Sometimes things are not what they seem.
Quote:
"The window is a mirror" and the mirrors are multiple. Between 5>7 a key of sorts can be found. Finding it might not be straight forward.
this leads us to believe that the sheet is the key, and has something to so with a mirror or mirroring..
since the lock seems to be physical, in belfast, I asked if I werer able to search for the key, since I am in the netherlands.. upon which they brought the lock online..
if you need more detail, please let me know

I have been delving into the writing of carson and I noticed one thing...
the key was found in a book about the cattle raid, with a bull on the front..
We also had a reference to minos, therefore the minotaur..
the minotaur was located in the centre of the labyrinth of Minos..
Looking at the work of Carson, the irish for no (which cover surprisingly shows the map we are looking at all the time) where the ruins of the smithfield market suggest a minotaur at the hearth of belfast..
Quote:
Since everything went up in smoke, no entrances, no exits, but as the charred beams hissed and flickered, I glimpsed a map of belfast. In the ruins: obliterated streets, the faint impression of a key, something many toothed, elaborate, stirred briefly in the labyrinth
I think we need to have a look at the smithfield market... what do you guys think about it??

guys check page 49 of the bookfestival booklet:
http://www.crescentarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BookFest_Bro-SMALL.pdf
those symbols match the signs on the key...
would this be the lock?

Naglfar, I have been trying to stick to using #invisbelfast for all my tweets.
There is also a lot of useful stuff on the wiki.

I won't rule out that he's still alive. We hear he committed suicide, but at no point did we learn how he did it. Hm.

I don't think I know of a way to ask that reliably wouldn't make Ana react negatively in some way. You can try if you like.

The counter ran out at 12 noon Belfast time and:

layeredcity.html has now changed and needs a new password. Click on the star to get a radio interview stream. It's in RAM format (Real Audio Media) and I was able to play it in VLC.
And that lead me to:

The new password is writerssquare which gives us writerssquare.html and a new task which seems to involve finding something in the actual location.
