Hi Happy Rogers,
How long have you been in Santa Monica? I graduated in 1981, my mom moved away in 1988.

I don't know Peeps....but I enjoy doing good deeds (I've heard of the Good Sam Club). My missions have been a little bit different. For example, check out the Goodsprings cemetery set on my flickr page.

As for Mr. Alan Johnson - I don't know anyone of that name and have not gotten any emails from him. A friend of mine got some foil wrapped boxes from him with weird messages and white rose petals. Googling for those items actually led me to betty and to you. Betty said she is having Higgs check me out.

Speaking of Mr Alan Johnson, do you know about this:
www.adpost.com/hk/personals/1060/
I found it when googling the names you posted on your flickr picture.

Anyway, I look forward to our conversations. Thanks for the updates of my old home. Is the Fireside Market still there on Montana?
Hugs
Heather

P.S. Lots of my pictures are posted for the benefit of my husband who is in Greenland for a year. So I know what it is like when a significant other is gone very far.

Good morning, Heather
I went to the adpost link connection that you sent to me. Now I am worried. Why is Mr. Alan Johnson trying to reach little Dwin? Dwin is a fourteen year old boy. He is too sweet for words. I will tell the others. So, Higgs is checking you out? Sounds like Betty is making you an official Sammeeeee. Yay! We need help. And you seem to have much more experience at these sort of missions and such than I do. Did Betty give you any information about where we Sammeeeees are meeting online right now? If she's making you a Sammeeeee she should probably let you know where to meet the others. We are constantly moving around to find a safe place to meet and chat. The internet is full of so many places that are not safe for strangers. I will get in touch with Betty this morning and ask if I can tell you more.

On a personal note. I have been in Santa Monica off and on over the last 15 years. I moved here from Maine. And Fireside is gone. It is now a Wild Oats. Montana Avenue is filled with women that look like salamanders and shops that cater to them. (wink)

I will write again soon.
Happy Rogers

 		with risk of trouting, there is some things that may give us a nudge.

Well I sent this email:
Quote:
I and others have recieved information regarding Sammeeeees. I came across the blogspot
site.

It appears that there is an event on October 5th, at 9:00pm. At what appears to be an
unsafe or undesirable place. I will continue my task. Is there any information regarding
the where abouts?

Thank you, a hopeful sammeeeee wanting to change the world.

Rorschach.


And I got this reply From A.J.

Quote:
Salutations Rorschach,

I believe that I have confirmed with some of your fellow Sammeeeees that the correct date
and time are October 5th at 9PM. And you are also correct about the place. It is an
undesirable and unsafe place. I have visited this place on occasion and have always found
it to be so. Your name tells me that you may be quite interested to attend tomorrow
evening's event.

Thank you for your efforts.

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson

 		I haven't seen this mentioned (I searched, trout me as needed), but a quick search of "SAMMEEEEES" on blogger (just pop it into the search box at the top of any of the pages we've found) turns up a myspace page. Myspace is blocked here at work, but someone else might want to check it out:

http://blog.myspace.com/bettyisasammeeeee




EDIT: After Phaedra's comment below, I'll add what else the search comes up with regarding this link. Ya know, for posterity:

Quote:
a shout out to all sammeeeees

if there are any other sammeeeees out there, write to me. it may take a day or so for me to get back to you. i'm travelling. meeting here is dangerous. look for alternatives.


So, if you try to add her as a friend (which I will do tonight), it may take awhile before she "accepts" you.

The blog's set to private. Betty has to friend you for you to be able to see it.

This may be the place that HHR mentioned in her email to konamouse as a safe place for Sammeeees to meet and chat. It would make sense if Betty has to friend us..

So the 5 grids on the AJ blog is probably a place on the internet. Does AJ have a myspace account?

Except, if that's the "safe place to meet and chat" it means that anyone who wants to do so would have to join The Horror That Is MySpace.

Ugh. Confused

I agree that the repitition of 'not safe for strangers' is notable, but it seems clear by now that Betty and her group of Sammeeees are not affiliated with A.J. and in fact think he is very dangerous.

So my guess is that Betty's safe space is probably different from A.J. safe space.

Wonder why all the concern about safety??

 		Characters & timeline of what has been found so far:
I have not used spoilers since this is all old info now.
Mr Alan Johnson - sent boxes to Space
- Boxes had messages and white rose petals
- At the end of the series of boxes & messages (all on pink paper), this number appears: this is flyer no. 00000646205161500000. Ah, a phone number gives us:
Quote:
My name is Mr. Alan Johnson and this is a message for all "sammmees".
Your help is required immediately, please listen closely.
The following is all the information that you will need to set forth.

Begin your mission in a public place.
Lasting impressions will be made.
Offer a hand to an ordinary man.
Guidance will be given when needed.
Special deliveries will be executed.
Please do not fear.
Our duty is to discover the truth.
Thank you for your time.
*cough*
And remember Mr. Alan Johnson precedes all.

- Led to AJ's blog

Quote:
AREN'T YOU CLEVER, SAMMEEEEE? I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS ARCHAIC COMMUNICATION BUT THIS SEEMED THE MOST APPROPRIATE WAY TO FIND QUALIFIED SAMMEEEEES. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU. THANK YOU AND BEST OF LUCK WITH THIS TASK. mr_alanjohnsonSPLATcare2.com

- Appears to be a message that requires decoding to get an email response. There have been a few folks to date that have gotten in communication with Mr AJ.
- Decoding the blog so far: Flag = October 5th, Glass house = 9:00pm, Grids = "prison" (maybe a location?) or "not safe for strangers". This has been confirmed that the location is undesireable and unsafe.
- Added 10/4: Now we have a YouTube account and the first movie is "This is the History of a Man Called Peeps". "Dedicated to your return..." has a song "Someday you're coming home" and a cartoon drawn picture with the signature "Jones" (maybe this relates to the movie cowboy "Buck Jones" that was a temporary picture on HHR's flickr?). There is a lot of black blank space the last half of the movie.
- Yes, this leads to another blogspot for Mr AJ called buckjonesisgoneforever

Betty:
- This also got us sammeeeees blogspot
- Reading the capital letters on this site is a message:
Quote:
MY NAME IS BETTY I WILL HELP MR JOHNSONS A VERY DANGEROUS

- emails from betty indicate she does not trust Mr AJ. She is having her friend Higgs check me out.
- Comments in here have some cryptic messages about "covering our tracks." And "bettylovesbarney" posts
Quote:
extra-extra
need protection?
look for the tin hats
in a gotham freebie
which appears to relate to the classified ads found below.
- Links at the bottom are confusing (in game or not?)
Quote:
choo-choo
?
i am watching u
TINAG

- bettylovesbarney blogspot is currently empty and the source code message is a non-existing blog (sammeees.blogspot.com). But it appears there was something there before about this person getting a pink card asking her "RUA SAMMEEEEE". And another note
Quote:
"an ordinary man fell from the blue, blue sky and landed here, somewhere in the land of spoocheeeee. the question for you, SAMMEEEEE, will you stop and help this ordinary man???"

- At the bottom of the source code of sammeeeees blogspot is "tell no one that you found me here"
- Also in the source code:
Quote:
-... . - - -.-- .. ... .- ... .- -- -- . . . . . @ -.-- .- .... --- ---
which is her email: bettyisasammeeeee@yahoo
- Found from googling:2 classified ads for "Tin Hats" leading us to a phone number (212-874-4712) and an answering machine from "Betty".
Quote:
"Hey there, you've reached 874-4712. Please leave a message. Thanks. Bye."

- Return phone call suggests that she was staying with Wendy Way but has now left that NY apartment.
- Myspace blog has been found but it's set to private.

a shout out to all sammeeeees 30 Sep 2006
if there are any other sammeeeees out there, write to me. it may take a day or so for me to get back to you. i'm travelling. meeting here is dangerous. look for alternatives.


Happy Happy Roger:
- Found from googling "sammeeeees" was Melon Man
Quote:
A messenger came to my door and told me to find the melon man in the morning. Well, I cracked up. It just sounded hilarious. I figured since the next day was Saturday the messenger must have meant for me to go to the farmer's market. And I was right! I went to the farmer's market and went to every melon man and asked are you a sammeeeee? and the last melon man that I approached whispered that he had escaped from Spoocheeeee. Maybe Peeps could become a farmer. Wink

- Also noted on the Melon Man mission:
Quote:
I have just asked the question "are you a sammeeeee" and he said he had retired from Spoocheeeee and was now a "white rose". I don't know what that means. I was just happy to find him!!!! I want to talk to the others about "white rose" but I have been told that I must not. Maybe Peeps could become a farmer after we get him out of Spoocheeeee.

- Map picture includes a message to her husband (who is in Japan on business):
Quote:
.. what if I'm right about this Spoocheeeee stuff? What if I could save this world? ...I met with a woman from the Otis Corporation for tea. She told me a lot about Peeps and his involvement in Spoocheeeee. He did some pretty awful things. I also told her about the other Sammeeeees. I think it was safe to tell her. She must be on our side...

Quote:
Patricia Moore told me that she works for Otis. She wants to me help me help Peeps. She and Peeps have been friends for a long time. She has promised to give me documents that prove that Otis is just a cover for Spoocheeeee.

- Ben may be her son. Appears she is a sammeeeee and has started this flickr site to show her husband what she is doing this summer - and when she started it, the other sammeeeees didn't know she was posting pictures of her "private missions".
- She starts to wear a tin hat, worried that Mr AJ can read her mind.
- Next day we get a set of pictures regarding that meeting with the person from the Otis Corporation, Patricia Moore
Quote:
Patricia confirmed everything that we Sammeeeees had suspected. Otis, Spoocheeeee, Mr. Alan Johnson, Peeps are all real.

- Also posted:
Quote:
Higgs, Addison, Trinket, Dwin, Betty and I know this is happening and has been happening for a very long time. It was nice to talk to someone outside of our circle about all this. Patricia was also curious about all that we have been doing to help Peeps.

- But to further confuse us, the last picture is titled "Otis and Spoocheeeee over tea" (but this is probably just because it is the topic of conversation).
Quote:
Patricia made me promise not to tell the other Sammeeeees that we met. Betty's going to find out. She finds out everything. She told me today that she found out I have a flickr account. I'm sure everyone is going to be mad at me. But I couldn't tell them. Patricia warned me that their safety was at risk.

- Still unclear about the "Code Book Mission" she did at the Santa Monica Public Library in July. The message inside the book "We will not be silent. We are your bad conscience. The Sammeeeees will not leave you in peace!"
- Still unclear about the message found in the bushes on Mission 5: "FOSTERSFREEZE.COM" (which is a real business)

Dwin (14 yo according to HHR):
Googling for "sammeeeees" turned up a personal ad in the Hong Kong Adpost.com site.
Quote:
if you see this, Dwin, please contact
mister alan johnson.
p.s. there is no land of spoocheeeee.


SirQuady confuses us all with a picture posted on his flickr account.
Quote:
A man asked me to put this here. He said his name was sammeeeee. Seriously, he drew it out like that.
You are not expected to understand this. Unless you are from Unfiction. In which case....uhhh...hey, look, it's a pie!
Maybe it was just suppose to be another potential rabbithole entry?
