Well there may be more things out there to find, but I found at least one "Betty? Where are you?" personal ad from "Barney Patterson" here:

 		Looking for Barney
Good find! But Betty will probably think this is just Mr AJ or someone else. She is pretty adamant that if he tries to contact her, he would post something in code.

Meanwhile, she has heeded my advice about her Flickr page (and I hope Ben does the same thing) and marked the picture as Friends only. So, if you are a Sammeeeee and you have a Flickr, make her a contact and she will do the same.

thanx for the reminder on making this private. duh. i am not thinking as well as i should. before i forget -- i got a contact request from a banshee. is this a friend? i have no idea if i can get back to the west coast anytime soon. traveling is really risky and i feel safer lost in the millions here in ny. also if barney does surface i want to be here for him. he'll look here first. we can talk about it. i don't know the pier very well so i can't help with location stuff as far as where the stairs are that you're talking about. can ben go look for us?
more later

Yes, Banshee is a good friend of mine. She lives in San Diego.
Ben created his own Flickr page so his dad won't see the stuff he is posting (and get worried about Happy - which he already is). In case you haven't heard, Ben's aunt thinks that Happy has been sneaking around having an affair and has run off with Alan Johnson! Happy having an affair - I hope that made you giggle.

Someone found this adpost: www.adpost.com/hk/personals/1089/
I figured you might dismiss it since you kept saying that Barney would contact you in code. So this may be Mr AJ playing games again.

Regarding Ben going to the Santa Monica Pier - if we totally think this is safe, and maybe if someone (an adult) can watch his back.
Here is Ben's Flickr page, you should make him a contact & vice versa: http://flickr.com/photos/64231826@N00/

Um okay so just in my self-interest, then, this makes it really important to post any important pics here to the forums so those of us who aren't Friends can see them...

But of course we will do that! UF is out of game and we always share - cause you are a very important double agent (right??).

Edit to add: FLICKR MAIL 10/10

Hi, I'm not a friend of Dante Wink I talked with you on myspace, can I get access to your pic? I promise I won't show Dante, I'm just trying to help you guys out. Also, can you verify that Barney's last name is Patterson?

You've been sent a Flickr Mail from bettyisasammeeeee:

 		I think I got this one before you got yours, orange, that'd cronologically make sense

i'm going to write to this person (barney or whoever) via the ad and see what happens. thanks for the heads up, justin and don't worry about the goof. there are a ton of sammeeeees to get to know right now. i'm totally confused about who i trust and who i should not trust.

Well she didn't actually verify that his name was patterson, but she didn't say it wasn't, so I guess she thinks this is him finally.

 		I sent Betty an email about finding WR3 and Patricia Moore on care2. I also asked her to reconsider her decision on making her flickr account private.

Quote:
hey enaxor, i think i need to be careful of johnson. he knows happy rogers has a flickr and may find mine as well. let me try to think of a solution to keep everyone in the loop. thanks for all the info. today has been a weird day for me. barney's mom left a message on my friend wendy's service looking for him and for me. she sounds so sad. i hope we find him soon. i spent half of the day today wondering if barney is out there somewhere or if he's being held in the same place johnson has "the five"... i know i have to snap of this. it isn't helping anyone for me to go all catatonic.

Your eyes are blue!!!!!
Your mascot was a witch ..who else is going to know that? Smile
And your Dad, who hates me btw, put a pony in the back of your family's car because he was drunk.
It's meeeee. C'mon. I'm not using any codes because, believe me, codes don't stop Johnson and these guys. I did the stupid french code as a joke. I figured you know it was me goofing on Johnson's crap. And I couldn't call your cell. Cells are so out. They really do listen to everything and know exactly where we are after like 30 seconds. I want you to go to that pay phone so I can see that you're okay. Johnson told me you were dead and that Spoocheeeee has someone posing as you. How crazy is that? But I have to be careful. I barely got away alive. You pick the time and I will call. You will hear my voice and know its me and I can see that you're alive and then we can pick a place to meet in person.
I love you, Betty, and I've missed you like crazy! I am so psyched that I found you!
Barney

the above came just a few minutes ago! it completely sounds like barney!
oh and below is the note that i wrote to him! i'm going to write him back and pick a time. talk to you guys later! please tell the other Sammeeeees!

 		So, I'm a little paranoid.

Re: To the Right of the SM Pier & Signs of Barney?
I think Randomeis is going to be there next week. He sent the following link to T Mann
vengefullobster.com/images/willgoright.gif

Betty, we're still searching for signs of Barney. But it's hard to tell what is your Barney, and what is just a play on that ridiculous purple overstuffed kiddie mascot. Do you have any pictures or description of your Barney?

Which leads me to that phone booth in NYC that has the Earthcam view. Why would someone post the phone number and location (with webcam view) but then insist *you* be the one to visit it. Should be the other way around - the contactor (if it was Barney, but, like you, I suspect it may not be) should be at the phone and *you* do the calling. Seems the phone will only ring once so the person has to be standing very close and ready to pick up quickly. If it really was Barney, you could be watching on the webcam and confirm his identity. But since this mysterious person is suggesting *you* go to the booth at a specific time, I'm not confortable with that - too easy for it to be Mr AJ and for him to add you to "The Five". That last coded message on the blog was pretty bad German (it was a simple ROT cipher).

Meanwhile, I am trying to get a local friend to go visit the booth just to see if there is any sign of any message on or around it.

heather! did you hear yet?! I think it is barney! i'm flipping it out! i gave him a test that honestly nobody else could have the answers for and he wrote back and bam it is him! he said he did the goofy code on that page as a joke so i would know it was him making fun of johnson!
more later but i had to tell you!
betty


So after all that, her thinking it wasn't Barney, telling us he would have written in code (after we found the first comments from him), it turns out to be him after all. So now I look like a paranoid fool. Oh well. Glad for her that it really is him.

Is Rose still going out to the phone booth? Are we going to be able to watch something happen live on that earthcam?

I wouldn't be too sure... I think you're right about being paranoid, and I think she's going to become "six" of "the five"... but, I Trust No One anyway, so...

She went out there today, saw a sticker on the phone that said "Havok" but nothing else out of the ordinary. Oddly, she was at the payphone about a half hour before Cory Lidle's plane hit the apartment building about 20 blocks from that phone Sad

Also, in her previous email to me, she sent this smiliey...



I have no idea whether or not it's a clue, or just a smiliey. It's from http://www.adpost.com

It's just you. Barney posted a personal add to Betty in the Hong Kong issue of Adpost. He has an "account" here.

The smiley face is from the options in the "send message" area.
Oh dude! There's a pirate!! We gotta have a pirate!! pirate
