Word of Mouth Website

From an email I got today:
We are about to launch a Word Of Mouth Forum blogsite in Brisbane. The venture is jointly owned by Austereo which runs the B105 and MMM stations in Brisbane. The site is all about a community talking to itself, and allows the masses to experience blogging for the first time. It is positioned as the easiest way for people to make a difference in their community.

It is total regionally focused, (in fact has a South and North Brisbane site.) with over 300 categories for people to comment on. You can check it out at www.womf.com.

We are looking for local well connected bloggers to start some viral campaigns and start providing some well written quality blogs. We are hoping you could help. the site is RSS linked and I'm sure once it starts getting heavy promotion on the radio
(January) it will be able to drive readers back to your site.

Sorry if this seems off topic. but here goes...

I ran into this blog out of despiration. I was born and still live in Honolulu, Hawaii. But, in 1988 I lived and worked in Brisbane for 6 months at the Expo. I was a guide at the Hawaii Pavillion (of course). I fell in love with Brisbane (and XXXX beer!)It was a crazy magical time for all, almost 20 years ago... and not a day goes by that I don't think of that place and people...
and especially a person.
I don't know whats wrong with me, but I have been driven since then to find a pretty girl that I was dating during my stay. I have since lost any records of her (Yes... I AM AN IDIOT!) She has the most beautiful red hair... with freckles all over!

I hope my tale stirs up memories for those who were there at that time and maybe someone might be willing to help me locate her and give her my info.

Date and Place: Expo 1988, Brisbane, Queensland

Name: Michelle Spence

Occ: local Corporate/Business Solicitor working for a firm downtown

Address: My head is flat on one side from me hitting myself trying to remember the specific area she lived in. All I can remember is that I lived in Kangaroo Pt. at the time and she was still living with her parents...

If she can be found through her professional listing or her father's address (her mother was dying of cancer) I would greatly appreciate her getting my personal info.

My name is Scott Seto and I can be reached at nospamsns@google.com

She probably is married and has heaps of kids by now, and thats cool with me... I can't explain why I can't get Brisbane out of my head and why I feel a great need to find Michelle and give her my biggest Aloha. I cannot tell you the joy that would bring!

Aloha and Mahalo!

Scott
