My name is Rebecca, and I live in Oxford, England. A long time ago, about eight years, I think, a colleague of mine left these shores for Sydney. Her name was Jaime Sims, and she was originally working as a radiographer in Sydney. We wrote to each other for a couple of years, during which time we came out to each other, but then life took over, and we lost touch. I have also lost her last letter to me, and have no idea whether she's at the same address or what. However, I'd very much like to get in touch with her, and I was wondering if anyone there knows of her, or knows anyone who does know her. I would be very grateful indeed if you would be able to help me in this quest. I appreciate that Sydney is a vast place, but if you could put the word out on the grapevine . . . well, who knows what might happen? I am contactable at mailto:Rebecca_van_der_Putt@oxfe.ac.uk Many, many thanks - Rebecca van der Putt ---> Gay and lesbian rights lobby annual general meeting Place: ACON, 9 Commonwealth St. Just off Wentworth Street, North of Central Rail Time: 7 PM Date: 2 October 1997 Memberships available on the night $20 / $10 Concession mailto:glrl@rainbow.net.au ---> National Women's Justice Coalition The NWJC web site is going through another major content upgrade.

The list is at http://www.ozemail.com.au/~nwjc/womensorgs.html Corrections and additions to the list (and particularly the addition of email contacts) are very welcome. Corrections/additions to me at mailto:Judith.Harrison@anu.edu.au ---> How does Australia look from where you stand? LOUD invites you to capture your world on film.

Signing up is easy -- simply send email to mailto:wtp@critpath.org with the message subscribe in the subject area. ---> Rainbow-Riders Rainbow-Riders is a mailing list for motorcyclists and motorcycle admirers who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, or supportive. The list should be used for general discussion of motorcycle related topics such as weekend rides, groups, events, personal interests, technical assistance, sexuality, or other topics as they relate to motorcycling. Discussion of proper attire is also encouraged on the list. However, we would discourage members from turning this into a 'leather list.' Many motorcyclists wear leather, but very few leather lovers ride motorcycles. This is a motorcycle list. Subscriptions: Send email to: mailto: majordomo@clarity.met with the text: subscribe rainbow-riders in the body of the message. ---> Urban Life/Urban Culture: Aboriginal/Indigenous Experiences 27-29 November 1997, University of Western Sydney, Macarthur,Bankstown Campus This conference will provide an opportunity to discuss how urbanisation has affected indigenous culture and community and how indigenous social identities are shaped by new technologies and media. mailto:george.morgan@uws.edu.au ---> Queer & Dis/abled Call for papers.

Bourke Street is not straight. Where the southern and northern parts meet, and cross Riley land between Phelps to Rainford Streets, there exists an obvious bend. Thus recording the historical development of this road ..." http://www.ozemail.com.au/~surry/ ---> Licensed To Kill "... takes a riveting journey into the minds of men whose contempt for homosexuals led them to murder. Attacked 20 years ago by gay bashers on the streets of San Francisco, filmmaker Arthur Dong confronts murderers of gay men face-to-face in his film. He asks them directly: 'Why did you do it?'" "If you can walk into a 7-11 and rob a 7-11 for 15, 20 bucks, get your face on videotape, have somebody that's gonna call the police; or if you can go to a park, rob somebody that's out in the dark, come away with a hell of a lot more - because of the fact that they're a homosexual and they don't want people to know it, they're not gonna go report it to the police. Who you gonna go rob? Where you're gonna get in the least amount of trouble." http://www.filmmag.com/community/adong/ ---> Gay Sports Mate database Gday folks. For those of you interested in participative sports, and wanting to contact others involved in the same sport, you may find the following web site worth a look.

The House of Domination's CYBERSLUT performances were created for these nights, before (and after) their discovery by audiences worldwide. Interjackie is the next logical step, an attempt to capture the live Jackie 60 experience in a digital, interactive form. http://www.echonyc.com/~interjackie/ Dead Jackie Susann Quarterly http://www.carroll.com/franny/ What Price Camelot? - TIME Magazine article covering the auction of Jackie O's personal belongings. http://www.pathfinder.com/@@hkE*ZQQAtRfNEqjc/time/magazine/domestic/1996/960506/cover.html http://www2.whitehouse.gov/WH/glimpse/firstladies/html/jk35.html ---> Tips for newbies Check out an online manual called Netprep, sponsored by Planet Internet.
