Something else... Christian has two friends, one of whom is called Hat Shoe. I read his wall and found a post by Spencer Wood: God, only really nerdy people recognize the anagram. Course, it does make us think we're smarter.

Could Hat Shoe be the anagram? I can't work anything out from it yet.

Also the next post down, where Patrick Cox* asks HS where he lives and HS replies: I am hesitant to answer this kind of thing ever since the Accident.

Could he be one of the ones who lost 3 years? I have messaged him to ask if he is a Priestly Oz fan.

He also has a website - www.hatshoe.org. It contains a graphic of a hat above a shoe, made up of words, but nothing that appears relevant or makes much sense.



*and Patrick Cox is a designer of shoes too

Okay, I'll bite. What does Crystpoher Harring have to do with all of this? Inside person?

To: Me
I do not know who that person is.

Apparently the Ozmans don't know who Mr. Harring is (seriously?). So I'm going to go with the idea that Mr. Harring is OPR's little mole to try and get in good with the Ozzies. I didn't let Ozzie know about Harriet so things are still good, and I would suggest no one else do the same. I did inform them that OPR was desperate and so they should watch their backs, but nothing more than that.

Me again.

I went to www.hatshoe.org and the drawing I mentioned which was made up of words, you can click on each one to go to a new page... however the vast majority of them seem totally random scribblings with no relevance as far as I could see.

Except possibly this one http://www.hatshoe.org/voice.html which mentions a woman speaking at a concert. And this one http://www.hatshoe.org/grave.html about being abducted by a Kurt Cobain lookalike with a gun, in a van.

Now the clicks on "evidence" and "tricycle" have youtube vids linked, but on going to youtube I found the profile name is MarbleHornets, which I know to be a different ARG... I don't know if someone with more experience might want to spend a couple of minutes on it, but I reckon Hat Shoe is a dead end.

Never mind, it kept me entertained for a couple of hours anyway!

I checked out the Hatshoe.org website. It does link to this twitter:
http://twitter.com/WatcherofCarl

But that appears to be much older than the creation date of the rest of the Myspace pages, etc, so I'm thinking it's a deadend.

I dug for a little while on the site, but agree that there doesn't seem to be anything of use.

Well we are getting some good progress on our songs. It would be better if everyone were on the same page though...

Corporeal is getting a little antsy I think, not enough sun perhaps? Him and I had a fight over who was going to get to play a solo on our latest song, he stormed out. (I was going to let Dymand play it anyway, the bad attitude was just the kicker.)

We will let our super fans know any updates as we find them out.

Rampant speculation, but the "missing years" and "stolen time", along with the idea of POz doing something to children, reminds me of the Pied Piper story. Especially since they're musicians. It makes me wonder if the reason that they look younger than they are is that they are leading young people away to steal their youth?

Sorry if that's been posted before, my memory's on the fritz today.

I believe you are right on the money. It's the only idea that makes sense right now. But there are also a lot of questions that need answers - such as, why does it take 3 years to take someones' youthfulness? I might start digging for those answers in the near future, when I have time to get around to it.

I don't think its about "taking their youthfulness". It seems more like being kidnapped, or falling into a hole for three years and finally climbing back out, but not remembering what happened during those years in the hole.

I got this as well. I know I'm a bit behind the curve, but I'll be catching up shortly.

Ahhhhhh... update. Yay!

Corporeal's MySpace Page contains the following:

Quote:

recording
man this was supposed to be fun, being back in the studio and all. but M is just all over my ass. we've been fighting so much in the studio that we've barely gotten anything done and she gave my solo to Dy instead. she's so power hungry, she makes me so mad. and she's got so many damn secrets, it's so annoying. like did you know the chick wears contacts? yeah. she does. her eyes are shit. and apparently that's SOO bad that anyone knows that. it doesn't help that she makes us sleep with nightlights on either. it's weird. she even has secrets from us i think. i know why we do what we do. but sometimes her methods are a mystery even to me.

maybe it'll get better today, that is if she shows.


Also...

Me:

So I take it you don't keep on eye on the people keeping an eye on you then? Because if you had then you would know that Mr. Harring is the official Director of Internal Security for "The Organization for Protection and Restoration" and is heading something called "Project Wonderland". It's right there on their facebook page for all the world to see, even you.
"Project Wonderland" is supposed to be keeping tabs on you and your "suspicious activities" (like playing a new track for a few of your fans backstage).
Personally they ain't got shit against you. Seems like everyone they bring in can't remember anything and someone who can't remember anything really isn't a good witness for you in court. But that's their hill of beans to climb, now isn't it?
Anywho, they seem to be kind of desperate so watch your back. Oh, and you might want to erase the memory of the guy who owns the recording studio you're going to be creating music at... you know... if you can do that sort of thing (silly, right?).
Okay, that's pretty much it. Time to get back to my life now. Enjoy yours.

This is not the first time that OPR has threatened us, but we do not fear them. With so few people in their true command they are powerless against us. As for erasing memories, I do not know what you mean by that. I have no super human powers. We simply try to..stay young through our music. And our super fans. Take that how you will.

So I assume you guys saw this photo from Corporeal's myspace page.

http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/141/l_cd5c780a57ae4e5c9da5e4049fb67e28.jpg

He had claimed before that he "looks" like he's in his 20s, but appears much older in the photo. And he hinted that he is in fact much older.

I wonder if the "time stealing" has anything to do with the band members trying to steal young. You know, stealing the essence of the teens or something.


Looks like I was on the right track. Smile

Hat Shoe is the name of another ARG.

A couple of new Tweets from Price Hathoway.

Quote:
OPR has been noticing a trend among witnesses. Glasses.


Quote:
And all of them have the most ridiculous hair...like this: http://www.scene-hair.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/scene-hair-2-520x693.jpg


Apparently the OPR just hates scenesters.

The glasses thing jumped out at me. Daniel Barnes' interviewee was blind when she woke up after the missing 3 years, wasn't she? Does the time stealing damage their eyesight in some way?

Also, Corporeal's MySpace blog, he made a big deal about Malyce wearing contact lenses. Since some eyesight loss usually happens in old age, are Priestley Oz trying to steal the sight of the teens?

(I'm assuming here that the victims didn't wear glasses before the missing time, as if PO were trying to steal youthful sight, picking out those who didn't have 20-20 vision to begin with makes no sense.)

That, to me, links in with the hairdos on that website Price Hathoway linked to. The kids all have thick heads of hair, another youthful attribute.

(But it seems after the missing time, the kids still do have thick hair. So maybe that is a non-starter.)

Just looked at Corporeal's photo again. He has very strange-looking eyes himself, doesn't he? (Although, strange in a way I can't put my finger on.) Maybe Malyce does too... and the kids who have lost time... could they be wearing coloured lenses to disguise that, rather than ordinary corrective glasses?

it would be interesting to ask Price/Daniel if they have seen anything odd with the witnesses eyes.
