Remember Bobbi Billard? The hottie I picked as a surf pick & mentioned that I was planning on getting her permission to make a desktop theme? Well she beat me to it… she read the review and sent me an email to give me the A-OK before I had the chance to beg grovel ask her.

What a sweetheart! Look for the Bobbi Billard Desktop theme reeeeal soon.

Well the old Bushwick gang is resting easy, as an email just came through to all of us that Elias is alive & well in Florida!

The past nerve-wracking 30-something hours, consisting of us making calls to the morgue, The Daily News, police-friends pulling strings, and tons of comforting emails (one of whom included Patti )… It all finally came to an end as someone finally got in touch with him tonight… He’s touched to find out that we all still love him after all these years.

Heh heh… he’s "touched"…
I’m gonna fuckin’ kill him myself! :0)

I thank each and every one of you for your concern, and I apologize for returning such a small minority of email. But I do appreciate your thoughts, prayers and words of hope and comfort. Of course, I offer my heartfelt condolences to the other Diaz family for their loss….having shared it for a brief while.

We’re off to Florida to kick his ass now. See you in a few days.:0)
We love ya man… don’t ever do that to us again!

I’m writing to you from Maspeth Queens, at my In-Laws (you’re all invited to stop by for coffee & cake, btw.).

Just had to prove that, while Blogger may still be experiencing technical difficulties…
My system, via a remote CGI script, is still going strong.

Eat yer heart out Ev!

• My thoughts and prayers to Jeffrey Zeldman and family for the peace & serenity they all deserve….

• My sincerest condolences to Patti for the loss of her friend…
• I’ve spent the day writing back and forth with the old gang from Bushwick (scattered across the country) all day, as one has brought this Daily News Article to our attention. We’re worried sick and losing hope fast.

Elias Diaz has been our good friend since we were all teens. We don’t understand why he would be back in Bushwick, instead of home, with his three young children in Florida. The fact is, we’re not even sure if it’s him.

Also in the Daily News Article:
“Police also said they had received calls from Diaz’s concerned relatives in Florida.”

And that line makes us fear the worst… his emails were returned "undeliverable" today.

Like Zeldman, I want closure. Like Patti, I want to explode in rage at this senseless murder of my friend. If anyone reading this is from Bushwick, or knows anything about this,
please get in touch with me!!!

Should our worst fears be realized, we’re planning a giant cyber-sendoff.
If not, someone’s getting their ass whupped, when we all fly to Florida, for making us worry like this…. Stay tuned.
