I met this guy in Nashville in about 2003. He was originally from someplace in Colorado. He had just hopped off a train coming from Atlanta. Took him back to my squat, just a vacant room on the top story of a building with pirated electricity. He stayed with me and a girl named Blu all evening and night, constantly drinking and listening to Misery and Amebix. Instead of just sleeping in the squat, the next morning he went back to a camp near the trainyard to let his friend Al know that he was ok and was gonna sleep there. He promised to come back the next evening with Al and was really excited about the place since we had electricity and it was pretty cold outside. He never returned and we never found him. At the time he had no distinct tattoos and a ratty blonde mohawk under a random black hat. He had a leather jacket with a Doom patch on the right sleeve near the hand/cuff area. Does anybody here know anything about him, is he still alive and around?

Yeah, that's true. There was really nothing exceptionally notable about his appearance. He was only around 23-24 back then...

I might know this dude, but there's an awful lot of travelers named Pockets. He was skinny, white, about 5'9" (?) I'd guess late 20's. I met him at the Rainbow regionals last year in Colorado, and then ran into him again in Denver in June last year. He has bio family in the area. If it's the same guy, he's doing well-ish, but he's got serious issues with booze. I've never seen a worse case of the shakes. Otherwise, though, he's still a cool guy to talk to and he's alive and relatively okay.

May be the same dude but maybe not, I ran into him about a week or so ago in Manitou springs. He was up to retrieving some shit from an ex girlfriend in AZ or NM..can't remember. He is from Eugene Oregon originally, but was up in Denver recently. Stocky, blonde dread ish hair, leather jacket. Pretty cool guy. Sounds like him, maybe.

The Pockets i met in the Richmond greyhound, 5 years ago, had "Stare" tattooed in between his eyes. No fron teeth. Dranks a handle of vodka on the bus and threatend to kill the dude he was with, me and my girl at the time. The bus driver ended up pulling over and he spat in my face. He fell down at the final rock of the stopping bus and landed on my balled up fist. So i got a freebie. I spit in his hat, put it on his head and threw him off the bus. Got an applause and cleaned my face. He landed on the parking lot in front of waiting cops. Dont threaten me.. Hope its a diffrent guy. He said "stay out of savana, g.a.". He said he had lymphnode cancer and was "dying". So he may be dead.
