The other day I e-mailed the webmaster of Heavensgate.com. I said,
RugtimXII@Comcast.net Hello,
I stumbled upon your website just now and I am very intrigued. What materials do you have that I can peruse?
Regards,
Jacob

I used a fake name because I was scared as shit to contact them. You may remember that in March 1997, 39 members of Heaven's Gate consumed a fatal dose of phenobarbital mixed with vodka and apple sauce or pudding, believing that in doing so they would enter a spaceship traveling behind the Hale-Bopp comet which would take them to Heaven.
I was surprised to receive this answer:
rep@heavensgate.com Hi Jacob,
Other than the website itself, that contains a lot of information, the Group put out a book days before they departed for $24.95 plus shipping.
They also have two VHS tapes available at no charge but there is a $5.00 shipping fee.
Thank you

Needless to say that is the end of my e-intercourse with Heaven's Gate. Honestly, I thought they were all dead.
