UPDATE! Closer To Finding Our Mystery TPE
We have taken a HUGE step forward!!! A few folks from Emerson reached out and put me in touch with James, James DiSabatino to be exact. We have a lot more clarity about our mystery TPE – and still need your help finding him.
This is the exact words from James DiSabatino (who himself is TPE, all the way) are as follows:
The story goes a little something like this…
Me and a few friends were hanging out at St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire. We decided to jump in a cab and check out the Manchester bar scene. We hailed down the first cab we saw, and were greeted by a man who looked like the bastard child of Gandolf from Lord of the Rings and Vinnie Paul from Pantera. We had a crowd, so being the nice guy that I am, I elected to ride shotgun in order to truly experience the mystery of this strange man. To my surprise, he was incredibly conversational. At some point in the ride, I had mentioned that I was an Emerson E3 Entrepreneur.
This is when things started to happen.
The driver, who I have nicknamed Doomsayer (I neglected to ask his real name), slammed on the brakes, and in his bellowing, demonic voice, shouted, “YOU MUST BECOME A TOILET PAPER ENTREPRENEUR.” We narrowly avoided flying through the windows as the skies opened up and nearly swallowed my friends and I, Doomsayer, and the Demon Taxi we were riding in. Okay, maybe it didn’t happen quite like that, but I can’t say the experience was not that far off.
Doomsayer went on to talk about the book as if the experiences were his own, and I found myself enamored with both the stories and the unearthly narrator. Eventually, he let us out at some hokey country western bar, and he and his vessel vanished into the night. The experience runs through my mind day after day, and the only way I will be able to live in peace is if someone can track this man down. Can someone find Doomsayer? Anybody?
Keep me posted on how this turns out, I’ll keep checking the site.
PLEASE HELP: Thanks to James, we have taken a huge step forward… but I still desperately need your help. Have you met this hero from Manchester? Do you know any details about him? I am looking specifically for him, not someone “like” him. I need to speak with this person specifically. So, if you know any more details or know who this TPE evangelist is, please email me ASAP at Wanted@ToiletPaperEntrepreneur.com
Thanks! We will find our mystery TPE from Manchester, NH. We will find him!!!

What is your plan to do with this mystery man once he is found?!

I wonder what his business is.

@Marshall – I am working on a plan. Have some grand ideas, but don’t know if they will play out. On the “minor” scale of ideas I was thinking we could do an interview of him on our site and highlight his business (I assume he has one), or his aspirations if he doesn’t.
Finding him is harder than I thought. I hope the psychic that comes in sheds some light… or is totally bizarre (that would be funny)… or both.

Why don’t you just call the cab company as describe teh guy. There can’t be that many like him.
