Statement of Faith: Bach's B Minor Mass and Michelangelo's
Fresco Paintings - CH Ting "I have been revising my B-Minor Mass
/ Sistine Chapel Fresco video. Spending so much time on Michelangelo's fresco
paintings, I have concluded that Michelangelo's design is 'hyperspace
architecture', originally designed for the tomb of Pope Julius II. The Pope
pulled him from the tomb project to paint the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo
planned to carve 40 statues for the tomb, but never had the chance to start it.
Instead, he painted the statues on the ceiling of Sistine Chapel. He painted
the outside views of the tomb inside the Chapel. That's what I called
hyperspace architecture."
Ting will explain Michelangelo's hyperspace architecture and
play a few music video clips. Despite the absence of Forth, It should be very
entertaining.

The Rescue of Glen Haydon's Documents - Kevin
Appert On Sunday, a few folks will be going up to the late Dr. Glen
Haydon's home to retrieve approximately 100 boxes of Forth material. We'll
discuss the plans! We will need money for the U-Haul and storage space rental.
Donated funds will be split evenly between the two expenses until the truck
rental ($40) is paid off. Please bring cash! A few additional volunteers might
make the task easier.
