So we must not desist with our daily hassling. One of these days it shall be finito!*

*You must say that with a flourish of the hand.

so, like, uh..?
 
 
Olulabelle
21:42 / 29.09.06
Right. I'll PM N.E.Coyote.
 
 
Olulabelle
20:07 / 30.10.06
Newsupdate:

I did PM N.E.Coyote and he said he'd not done his bit yet because he was a bit distracted and the book was too intimidating to do distracted work in. That was ages ago. I PM'd him again this evening saying I think the book should move on now. It's taking too long with each person and it isn't fair.

Bump

N.E. Coyote or anyone else that knows him, please can you send the blue book on?
 
 
Olulabelle
11:22 / 03.12.06
Right. I'm about to esplode. N.E Coyote, can we PLEASE have our book back?

Sekhmet, do you have a phone number or anything for him? Can we maybe send him a postcard asking that the book be returned?

I don't know what else to do about this. He's had it for a quarter of the year.

maybe point out that handing in potentially sub-par work is eminently more respectable than handing in fuck all, and that whatever he hands in will be better than his curent lack? perhaps suggest that he resolve to respect all the other people shitting themselves in anticipation atthe book's arrival?

i dont mean to be mean, but for fuck's sake, bro.

so you arent the best artist on barbelith.
that's great.
please get over it, and stop worrying about the book as though this is your your gift to posterity.
if you can't get it done in the next week(this is sunday, say ready to postit next saturday?) then i suggest you give up now.

basically i think you, mr. coyote, have to shit or get off the pot.
there's a line here, and half of barbelith is busting to go.

i sent a PM with a link to my last post in it to mr C, and have yet to receive a response to either.
i'm wondering... is he still around?

can we get a meatspace aquaintance to ask him what's happening?
 
 
Mr Tricks
21:39 / 04.12.06
heh... this book was nearly with-in my grasp. Well there's still 2007 and those other colored notebooks.

I like the idea of the wandering book, but is it worth putting my name on the Blue Book's list, or waiting until another book is announced?

I'm in Australia if that's of any consequence...
 
 
Char Aina
01:45 / 05.12.06
it might still get there...
 
 
Olulabelle
09:26 / 08.12.06
Is anybody a member of Company23.net?

A friend of mine on LJ said they last saw N.E.Coyote on that board.
 
 
Sekhmet
00:59 / 11.12.06
No, I don't have a phone number or anything for Coyote, just a snail mail address.

Am now kicking myself around the block for not getting scans of the last few pieces while I had it. :-(

Does anyone have another point of contact for NEC? LJ, MySpace, e-mail?

You can do a reverse phone number look up at Canada 411 if you have his address...
 
 
Sekhmet
20:54 / 11.12.06
Hmm. Tried that, and it comes up with a listing, but under a different name than the one I was given.
 
 
Char Aina
21:55 / 11.12.06
it's a shame that people get so scared of adding to the book that they feel it is preferable to run off with it, leaving barbelith to forever wander the earth in shame.

it's just a notebook!
i don't get it.
couldnt you just send it without adding to it, if the pressure is so bad?
 
 
grant
00:54 / 12.12.06
it comes up with a listing, but under a different name than the one I was given

I'm not averse to calling any numbers and asking nicely who's there and if they'd seen any fat, hand-made books around they'd like to mail away....

you could use you special reporter powers!
do the voice! do the voice!

i love it when you do the voice.

ttt... just wondering if this book might've surfaces somewhere out there . . .
 
 
Olulabelle
22:37 / 15.02.07
Tits and huge, hairy, sweaty balls. I am so pissed off about this.

Grant, can you ring the number if we get it from Sekhmet? I think that's the only thing left that we can do.
 
 
grant
00:01 / 16.02.07
Again, it's not a problem.

Is this the same person?
Here's the MySpace page. Seems to have been visited recently.

This Lj looks like his. Recently updated, too. Maybe drop him a line there?
 
 
Olulabelle
14:03 / 16.02.07
I just tried to post to his LJ but I am not listed as a friend so I can't post. I'll try his myspace.
 
 
Olulabelle
14:08 / 16.02.07
Right, I've posted to his myspace. Who is friends with him, on the board? Do we know? I think I might mail Tom and try and get a proper email address.
 
 
Olulabelle
14:20 / 16.02.07
And again with the newsupdate:

I've PM'd Sekhmet and asked her to PM Grant with the snail mail address. I have asked her to also PM it to me so that I can send a stamped addressed envelope if we can't find him when Grant rings the number, or that route doesn't work.

I have also PM'd N.E.Coyote to tell him my snail mail address, as I said I would in the message I sent on myspace. In doing that I noticed he has changed his Barbelith screen name to Nietzsch E. Coyote and that has happened over a month ago but after I started trying to get the book back. Which means he must have been here at some point.

I might cry.
 
 
Sekhmet
16:39 / 26.02.07
Hey - I went ahead and forwarded the mailing addy to Lula and grant. Sorry for the delay.

This makes me unhappy. I don't like being an accessory to a book vanishing. :-(
 
 
Sekhmet
03:19 / 09.04.07
Have we gotten anywhere on this, by any chance?
 
 
grant
15:07 / 09.04.07
Oh, hell, I completely forgot about that PM. I still have it.

Will try to hunt him down later today or tomorrow -- things have been crazy at work lately.
 
 
grant
17:09 / 09.04.07
I've got two numbers for variations on the given name, neither of which are linked to the given address.

The given address is an apartment building which also houses a pet-sitting business (in a different apartment).
 
 
Olulabelle
20:39 / 11.04.07
Oh. Bollocks.

I don't know what else to do. Do we know anyone who lives in the area?
 
 
Mr Tricks
21:21 / 11.04.07
Well I must certainly applaud the lenghts people are going to in hopes of retrieving this lost book.

Does this make the second such "lost project?"

I think I've lost count.
 
 
Olulabelle
17:25 / 17.04.07
It is the second. The first was stolen by Kwende Central.

I don't suppose anyone has any ideas about what to do next? Does anyone feel like hounding him elsewhere on the internet?

I have tracked tracked down Mr N.E. Coyote. He has retrieved the book. He would like to know to whom he should send it next.


*Hangs up deerstalker, lights pipe, prepares to shoot up cocaine etc.*
 
 
Olulabelle

omgIloveyou!

You are so clever. How did you do it? I even hassled him on his blog.

Woo YAY!

I am so pleased. Right, quick, who's next on the list?
