Tempe, Arizona Area Burningman devotees are encouraged to contact me for spiritual support, fun and debauchery. -Johnny (602) 392-8249 -- Johnny Lynch, November 24, 1997 at 0:18a

You were at the Burning Man Benefit In Cotati on 11/19. You wore a blue shirt with an 80's ammo belt and were heating up the dance floor. I was siting next to you while Crimson Rose was undulating with flame on her skin. I was too shy to say anything (ironic, since BM is "no spectators") but if you read this, drop me a line, wouldjya? -- Bone Daddy, November 20, 1997 at 9:01a

That guy was me . My first 2 [out of three things for chat ] were : he controls who lives and who dies. Hail Hackett ! And he works at a cardboard box factory by day, and controls Canada by night- Chris Hackett ! - but , for some reason,they had Alex [ a Canadian] focus on the BM thing. When it taped, I was only five days after leaving. I have the feeling he was terminally confused by it. Still-- Burning Man on a game show ! I am sure there are alot of BM people who would do well there. Hopefully, others will not crash and burn like I did. Hackett -- Hackett, November 15, 1997 at 5:00a

Looking for short, beautiful [even if you don't think so] woman that I [abrasive guy from NYC, big, with dread] met at Papa Satan's or Daddy Love's or whomever's grill on Sunday. You are from Ohio, were hanging with the Motel 666 people from SF. I was the guy that never followed up . E-mail me, or have another e-mail for phone number. -- hackett, November 15, 1997 at 4:15a

I wish to find the beautiful boy that was at the base of the man on Sat. night. You were eloquently quoting Alice In Wonderland. I was on mescalene and quite entranced when you joked with two guys that were trying to pick me up. You had a male companion and seemed much to independent and headstrong for your own good...or for my good? I never mustered up the guts to talk to you. No other person has sparked my interest like you did.....Also, will Josh or Laurelei (sp?) from San Fran please get in touch with me? I miss you dearly! -- Frog, November 6, 1997 at 8:06p

I was the short girl with shoulder length black hair and glasses with "The Eye of Ra" air brushed on my torso. If anyone has pics, I would love to get in touch with you. ;)~ -- Latex Goth Girl, October 28, 1997 at 1:38p

I know it's unlikely, but if the short girl at the Goa "rave" Monday morning in the black and white full-length dress and shoulder-length dark hair reads this, please e-mail me. I didn't want to ruin your vibe by approaching you while you were dancing but I'd really like to talk to you sometime. -- Me, October 26, 1997 at 7:53p

Due to my untimely egress from the playa, I missed swapping spit...I mean addresses with a wonderful woman from the bay area, Christine, who shared abundant java and her beautiful telling of "The Rainbow Crow". The dancing was fantastic, looks like you got those blue chickens together in time. -- Jim McNaull, October 26, 1997 at 11:29a

I met you at the fashion show and I "fell" into your eyelashes! Sorry I didn't make it back, I meant too!! -- danielle, October 24, 1997 at 11:19p

yael...starr? -- orac, October 24, 1997 at 6:14p

Looking for the Buxom Blonde lady that was being Dominated so well I believe Saturday night. Would love to get together if you will , if you can. -- CabalaDom, October 19, 1997 at 10:42p

Dreadlocks in your hair, and beautiful big brown eyes. You just drove in from Montana to join BM and were exhausted. We met eachother friday night at the radio KHOD station. You asked Clayton (the DJ) for some stuff for your lips. You impressed me so much. The next day me met eachother again just in front of Jonder. We both had been looking for eachother. You were talking to a guy in a SM outfit on a bike. In a way we did not get in touch with eachother angain and did not make an appointment. I have been looking for you the whole evening but did not have luck. I am the blond guy from Rotterdam (The Netherlands). I spent my holidays in the US and was able to join the festival. It has been a fantastic experience but hearing from you would make my experience complete. Anyone who knows her I hope will send me a mail. -- Jan-Willem, October 11, 1997 at 7:35a

LOOKING FOR THE RUSSIN TWINS- you may think that there is only one of the z-bros but infact they are a double. If anyone knows where I can find one or two of the twin bros (names both starting with Z) that are now residing in LA please give a note. they are unmistatkable. -- Carrie, October 8, 1997 at 4:07p

TO REBECCA FROM MONTANA AND FRIEND--I got this mysterious message on my voice mail from a vaguely British voice telling me to write to an address in San Francisco, but fast, as her friend, Rebecca, would be moving. I sent a letter, but it is returned . . .Still looking for Rebecca and it's getting exciting . . .Call me again at my new home number: (310) 452-1598 or e-mail me at mitchell_z@hotmail.com All the best, whoever and wherever you are . . . -- Mitch from California, October 7, 1997 at 10:44p

DRUMMER of that SF band. Hey! I met you at Ishtar. Raven-haired bassist of Puzzlefish (Oakland, CA) seeks drummer from the SF band whose name I forget. You're tall, dark, curly haired and rhythmical. You pounded out rhythms on my back while sitting behind me at the Ishtar ritual getting your feet massaged (by me). Just wondering what you're up to. Not looking for romance or anything. Just wanted to keep in touch. Gimme a buzz. Naiya of the Playa -- naiya@cesium.com -- Naiya, October 7, 1997 at 4:44p

I'd like to get in touch with the folks at 'Windy City' camp. If you were in Windy City or know someone who was, please send me some e-mail. Thanks! -- Ceti, October 4, 1997 at 11:38a

(LECHEROUS) PASSPORT CONTROL--Did you have your "visa" stamped at Camp Crypto's passport control station? If so, I'd like to invite you to an upcoming costume party I'm hosting in the Bay Area. Hey, it won't be Burning Man, but it'll still be a hoot. (Do you remember which visa stamp you chose?) -- Sandy, October 3, 1997 at 4:03p

Looking for the girl with the "wolf dick pants". I am haunted by the image of your wide-eyed smiling face as you freestyled after the "tea". I just want a photograph or sketch of your face so that I can have something to show friends when they ask what I mean by "glamourously normal and so *alive*". -- Dan, October 2, 1997 at 5:33p

I'd like to pay homage to a guy who was playing a sax in the dance tent over by the big "W" on Sunday night. Anyone who was there would agree that it was something special. -- Dom, October 1, 1997 at 0:58a

We walked around and talked, very platonic...you punched me a couple of times...e-mail me. -- Me, September 30, 1997 at 7:25p

CAMP SUNSCREEN crew, I gave you the wrong E-Mail address by mistake. I very much enjoyed getting to know & working in Camp Sunscreen with all of you (it was indeed a labor of love). I plan to see you next year. Steve -- Steve, September 30, 1997 at 10:30a

Blind lighning in the digital fog... To Jen, the copywriter from New York. Remember painting the lobster at the House of Doors? It was an electric kiss, but we never crossed paths again. If you ever made it to the (Ant)Artic Oasis, I was out roaming the playa. I was at the House two days later. Someone had put a wooden star in the window above our painted one. I always wondered if it was you... Drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you. Life is too rippled to be carried off... -- Yukon Eric, September 29, 1997 at 11:02p

To Rebecca from Montana's friend--I sent a letter and photos, but if she's already moved, I have e-mail now. It's mitchell_z@hotmail.com Please pass it on if you see this. Thanks. -- Mitch from California, September 29, 1997 at 8:03p

Still looking to commiserate with Kate from Frequency Publica. Yes, you were a great kisser. -- Matt, September 29, 1997 at 7:33p

Scott, if you're looking for who I think you're looking for, try this: Call Samantha at (908) 279-1872 and ask her for the number of the "hatwoman" Call the "hatwoman" at the number she gives you and ask for Lucy's new address. I'm pretty sure it's Lucy you're looking for. -- An anonymous friend, September 29, 1997 at 11:46a

Sarah from Santa Fe, New Mexico and/or Shelly(?) from Portland, Oregon. The UFO has "landed," please call me:415-499-1441 or email me. -- ease, September 29, 1997 at 11:37a

You were the beautiful woman buzzing around the playa like a happy bee, giggling with glee, right after the man burned. You have dirty blonde hair, fresh ingenue face, slender body. You were wearing a purple(?) flowing outfit that floated in the air as you danced and ran along the playa. My 4 friends and I danced around you in a circle while you danced and twirled yourself on the inside. You led me by the hand and we swung each other around, giggling with glee. And then we kissed. It was the most incredible kiss I have ever experienced in my entire life. We both exchanged all of our positive energy with each other at that moment, intermingled with the electricity of the night. And then you buzzed off into the darkness, calling back "Thank You!" over your shoulder. Will we see each other again? -- Scott Rose, September 27, 1997 at 9:57a

I realize this will sound 100% bizarre, now that we've all settled back into our "normal" lives. Nevertheless, it's worth a shot, and I would be ecstatic if it actually worked On Saturday night (late late late night) I met a brunette woman in Bianca's Smut Shack. She had been there for a while, and we laughed that she had quite a few hickeys on her neck. The broad smile of a goddes... what I would do to remember that name. Anyway, she wanted to dance, but the Grateful Dead on the stereo was not exactly the vibe she was looking for. On her behalf I spoke to the male proprietor who explained that they needed marjarine. I invoked a barter for my new friend's happiness. I would run back to my camp, get a vat of marjarine, bring it back to Bianca's, and in return, he would put on a more suitable selection of tunes for my friend to dance to. We laughed and laughed that perhaps MARJARINE was a code word for MARIJUANA, but ultimately decided that the entire transaction was indeed G-rated. And so it goes. I braved the heat of the rising sun. I walked clear across the playa, retrieved a vat of butter from my camp, ran back to Bianca's... and my new friend was gone. Glad to contribute to the good vittles at Bianca's though. I could have sworn I saw her at a gas station on the way through Reno, but then again, maybe not. Anyway, if ANYONE knows her or, heavens to Betsy, if she is reading this now, (for Burning Man's sake!), contact me. -- Josh, September 26, 1997 at 4:17p

It was at the Cafe CockTail party on Sunday before the Burn. I was the guy with either the Medical hat or the Firefighter's helmet and desert camoflage suit. I mentioned that this was a Cocktail party and you showed me the little bow on your black panties saying that you were in fact wearing bowtie for the occasion. The black panties were all that you were wearing. E-mail me, please? Lizard -- Lizard, September 26, 1997 at 1:03p

I'm looking for the lady doing all the shaving. I have a good photo of her. At the time I took it, she was interested in getting a copy buy neihter of us had a pen..... -- Paul Stiamc, September 26, 1997 at 9:23a

Tom, with the sail-powered rickshaw called "Spirit of Black Rock" -- I lost the slip of paper with your address in Oregon -- please email or write me at 2929 Lorina St, Berkeley CA 94705. -- Ray Bruman, September 26, 1997 at 8:53a

MR.E.MANIFEST, this is reely jest fer ole thymez' sake: I've got something that belongz tu yu! belay on, hunny. -V. -- Veektoastia, September 25, 1997 at 5:12p

I'm looking for two people out there... first, anyone who was running an FM radio station on the playa, I have some questions about it and I'd like if you could contact me. Second, the person who made the audio tapes for Camp Fink, I've got a few questions for you too. Please mail! -- Bryan from the Temple of Atonement, September 24, 1997 at 4:09a

Brian - you built the trojan horse. I met you at the hot springs on Monday -- you said you were staying another night, with the "hardcore people." Just had to tell you that you are a serious hottie, and that your face and body are still haunting my dreams. I hope I run into you at Bianca's next year... -- Hurricane Linda, September 23, 1997 at 4:10p

LOOKING FOR REBECCA FROM MONTANA -- We met right after the burning and there was this great electricity between us. You have dark hair and beautiful eyes. I have dark hair and was wearing colorful shirts. You were talking with my friends, but we were looking at each other. My friends pulled me away and we both disappeared into the night, but I remember you and want to meet you again. Please post a message here with a way for me to write you or call me at (310) 236-7558. We'll meet again. (Anyone who knows REBECCA FROM MONTANA, please help us out and post a message. Thank you all.) -- Mitch from California, September 23, 1997 at 2:20p

PS FROM SASHA: ERIN's CAMP had two small, green, carved pumkins on the roof of a small red car. Wheew! Sasha -- sasha, September 19, 1997 at 11:36p

LOOKING FOR ERIN (was at Burning Man with Jason) from the RENO/SPARKS area. I am SASHA from SEATTLE and met you at BIANCA's on the night of the burn. I would like very much to speak to you, Erin, at least once. It would mean a lot to me!!!      If anyone else can help, please, do!!! Erin and Jason arrived, I believe, on Saturday; camped between Erin Way and Freia Rd on 2200. Sasha, sasham@sttl.uswest.net -- Sasha, September 19, 1997 at 11:31p

You are The Girl in The Red Dress, who on the night of the burn danced by the fire. When a guy thought he was funny by telling you to 'take it off' you turned the joke on him and, with the help of the crowd you controlled so magnificanly, persuaded him to take HIS off. You seemed such a strong and funny person that I would just love to know who you really are. I looked for you elsewhere on this website and the best I could find out is that your name might by Lucy. -- Gerry, September 19, 1997 at 5:49p

Looking for the SM GIRL who I had the WHIP FIGHT with behind the fashion show ( I think I liked it!), or anyone with pictures. There must have been fifteen photographers there having a feast. I was the guy with the BLACK WINGS. -- Dark Angel, September 18, 1997 at 3:05p

If anyone knows how to get in contact with the guys who built that bull-motorbike looking thing with the big spoked wheel in the front and the two training wheels in back, please forward them my email address (bs@cyberdiversion.org). I'd like to get their permission to use them in a film I'm working on. Here is a photo of what they look like <http://prometheus.frii.com/~jenine/tb/bman/bikething.jpg> Thanks for the help- -- Breon, September 18, 1997 at 11:07a

Amy, with whom I swapped "eye-deer" jokes: I've forgotten the punch line to the third one you told! Please drop me a line and save me from eternal puzzlement. -- William, September 17, 1997 at 10:59p

I'm looking for Danny O'Brian of London? England with the beautiful smile, warm hug and sharp hit. I too am so pleased we saw eachother one last time. Even if we cannot hold eachother again soon, we can hold a conversation (sort of) if my typing speed ever improves. Please write if you get this. -- the bodypainted Joanna , September 17, 1997 at 10:25p

BRIAN (and friends) FROM NO. CAROLINA, NOW LIVING IN SF — We met Saturday morning on the dance floor and went to the hot springs together. I have pictures to share! -- Daphne., September 17, 1997 at 1:37p

Looking for the woman in this photo: http://www.cardhouse.com/g/bm97/tour/tour03.htm. If I had been *thinking* (for once), I would have found out (a) whether she's from the Bay Area, and (b) whether she would be willing to ride on my Art Car at WestFest (26-28 Sept.). (See www.cardhouse.com/g/art_car/0_intro/main.htm) Hochste Lust! GD -- Godfrey Daniels, September 17, 1997 at 7:58a

Here I am back in real life, and I find myself missing the kind and funky folks from <B>Crazy Dante's Used Soul Emporium</B> and the <B>BeHOP</B>. At the time I thought, these things are fleeting. But like everyone I came away wondering why can't everyday be like this? I'd appreciate it if somebody from both camps dropped me a line. -- Wes, September 16, 1997 at 3:09p

Looking for a woman I met at the Smut Shack, you were sitting by yourself with a book and as we spoke I asked if you were Bianca and you said what in my mind captures much of the beauty that was the Smut Shack, you responded, "Bianca lives in all of us." Please live in Seattle, but email me from whereever you are if you find this. -- sean, September 15, 1997 at 9:14a

John Mellon--haven't seen nor heard hide nor hair of you since BM...I know ya' want to disappear an' all, but some of us actually miss you and would love to hear from you. I know it's only been a few weeks, but call/write soon...I would love to share some pics with you. -- Lisa, September 14, 1997 at 2:17p
