Missing

It's been too long. For some, it has only been mere days. Others--weeks. For most it has been months.
If you've seen anyone who matches the following description please respond.

He stands 5'11'' in those damn cowboy boots. His hair is getting a bit shaggy. He has deep dark brown eyes. His lips are exceptionally red from dryness. He recently shaved for the first time in the year 2006. He's lost about 9 pounds in the past month. He can be spotted on restaurant row twice a day. The time fluctuates. He hasn't been to the gym so he probably doesn't look as pumped up. He hasn't eaten enough so he's cheek bones look razor sharp but fabulous nonetheless. He's bordering on pale because he hardly sees the sun. He generally exists at odd hours between 42nd Street and 52nd and 8th Avenue and 9th Avenue. One person spotted him at The Coffee Pot on 49th and 9th. They said he was pouring generous amounts of Half and Half in his coffee that smelled of hazelnut. He had one earphone from his ipod in one ear and his razor phone on his other ear/shoulder. His purse was falling off his shoulder. He bustled out before they could even call out his name. Another individual said they recall talking briefly with him while in passing at the local late night posh pub on 51st Street. They recall his eyes being bloodshot, his smile seemed painted on, and he hardly made eye contact. The next thing they knew he was out the door. Another person said that someone at the laundromat on 9th Avenue between 46th and 47th resembled him, but it was hard to tell, because he was wearing a dirty baseball hat, sunglasses, and cargo shorts. This person firmly believed that he would never wear cargo shorts, so this person dismissed him as a fake. The only girl with any leads as far as tracing specific times, is the Barrista girl at Starbucks on 47th and 9th Avenue. She said that he has been in at least 10-12 times in the past 4 weeks. However, it was difficult for her to be 100% confident because he never ordered the same thing. A few subletters and roomie hunters have spoken with him via text, email, and voicemail. But, since they don't know what he looks like or his exact whereabouts, their assistance is fruitless.

If you have any leads on the health, happiness, stability, or just plain whereabouts of this person please notify Clem (of this blog) and help lead them back together. Clem misses him more than any of the others. But, if you want to help, donations can be made at Bar Centrale on 46th Street, Citrus on Amsterdam and 75th, City Grill on Columbus and 73rd, Dive 75 on 75th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus and The Coffee Pot.

Let's hope for a speedy discovery and recovery.

I just saw him yesterday at 79th and Broadway. He looked like something the cat dragged in--all damp from the rain--but he was wearing a great outfit--loved the jacket. He smelled a little like bloody mary and looked kind of jaudicey, other than that, hot as usual and full of piss and sunshine.

IS this an old flame? Wish I could help, but alas I am no longer in the city. At first I thought you were talking about one of the cowboys from BROKEBACK...
Glad you're back! ~redhead, etc.

He sounds like a winner. You should definitely install him on your couch and let him eat all the ramen.

Gosh, I haven't seen him in years. In fact, the last image I have is down a line of fellows dancing to an ever popular Wynona Judd song....
