Am I A Criminal? - Sarah (LG15)

Bad week . . good week. Bad week because Emma is in trouble and Jonas is a drunk. Good week because you guys helped us find McKinley's match.com password and we were able to access his account. Bad week because some of you started changing it and he probably freaked out and shut it down. Good week because when we were able to access it, we learned he was a caffeine junky and hung out at a Starbucks near his apartment. Bad week because I was planning on setting up a date with him and meeting him at the Buck, but his account went down before that could happen. Good week because Daniel and I were able to find the Starbucks near his apartment and canvass the area. Bad week because I only had heels with me. - Sarah

THE BURNING QUESTION

As Jonas heads up to San Francisco next week for the interactive event we have one burning question:

Will he mow the lawn?


Thats right folks, Jonas is going home! We cannot be sure if he will visit his home or not but we do know its located in Seahaven just North of San Francisco.

In last weeks episode of GlennFM, Glenn outlined the N. California connection in terms of "drops" when he discussed "drops" in Petaluma and Ukiah.







However, the selection of Seahaven itself came later in the show during the video 1500 Miles. The reason for this particular location has never been explained.

So, if you attend the San Francisco event will you be enlisted to help Jonas with some long overdue yard work? Will he be shirtless? Will there be some occult ritual over on the notorious Pt. Reyes beach. I guess you will just have to attend the event to find out.


"Jonas became a lead character after Gemma's disappearance. Jonas's house has been a major backdrop since Daniel and Bree joined him there. His house is large and in a remote area in Seahaven, CA, which is north of San Francisco. He inherited it from his parents when they where lost at sea. Most of the videos take place in the library, though some show the living room or outside, such as the video Skateboarding. The Creators have revealed that the house is actually Kenneth Goodfried's house."

Thank you Thank you Thank you

"January 19th, 2008
Hey everyone,

We just wanted to thank you all for the hard work in helping the last couple videos do so great on YouTube!!! Your commenting and favoriting pushed the video to the YouTube “Most Viewed” front page and it just went crazy from there. “Girl Tied Up” has over 700,000 views and “Beer Bath” has 73,000 views in one day and is almost on the front page of YouTube’s most viewed for the day. This could not have happened without the support and effort of this community, it is truly amazing!

Thank you all so much,

LG15 Team"

"Girl Tied Up" bringing in the views on YouTube

There have been many comments about the recent Lonelygirl15 video, "Girl Tied Up" and the way it shows Emma, a teenaged character (although the actress is in her twenties), on a stretcher struggling against restraints while the middle-aged Dr. Hart gives her an injection, combined with the suggestiveness of the title and thumbnail image.

Whatever the opinion is about the content, it is garnering many views on YouTube:

In my subscription list just now, it had 452 thousand views (more than double what it had yesterday), and when I clicked on the video, the count was 704 thousand. Current honors for the video on YouTube are:

#2 - Most Discussed (Today)
#1 - Most Discussed (Today) - People & Blogs
#28 - Most Discussed (This Week) - People & Blogs

With the arrival of this video, and "Beer Bath," showing Jonas in his underwear in a bathtub, the lonelygirl15 channel subscription count has started increasing (by at least a couple of hundred subscribers in the last couple days, currently at 99,694). Channel honors are currently:

------------------------------
Jack (under covers): I just did something stupid. I can't talk about it, but... Look, I have to do this fast. Someone who was injured in my brother's robbery came forward. He's going to go to jail for a long time. I have to get him out, even if it means breaking the law. You guys on whatweird were right. The guy who's been following me, he came back. I think he's a Paladin. That's what you guys said he was called, right? Which means, he wants to kill me.

(camera angle changes to look outside the window; a man in shades and trenchcoat is seen pacing, with a baton-like object in his hand)

Jack (off-camera): There he is. He's been there since it got dark. I gotta get out of here.

(camera shifts back to Jack)

Jack (under covers): I don't know what I'm going to do but, I'll try and check in once I figure everything out. Bye.

Tell Us What You Think!!!

Thinking about the upcoming Season 2 finale of LG15, we’re expecting a higher number of people to join that chat next week. As many of you know, from either your experience with 12-in-12 or the Jennie chat, as the number of people increase, things can get a bit… chaotic. We want an open environment where everyone can participate, but we don’t want things to be completely out of control either.

So, give us some suggestions! Join the discussion at http://lg15.com/lonelygirl15/forum/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=15788 and post your questions or ideas. And please continue to use that thread in the future, even after the Season 2 finale.

BREAKING NEWS: Mesh Flinders Departs LG15

Mesh's new website: meshflinders.com



Mesh's blog, with video msg to all the fans

Mesh Flinders, one of the original three Creators of Lonelygirl15, has announced his depature from the show.

"Here's a message to all my Lonelygirl fans, and everyone who helped make the past year and a half . . . otherworldly!
Thanks,Mesh"


At Meshflinders.com you can get Mesh's view of the wild ride of LG15.

Excerpt:

... Mesh had known Bree for some time – or
versions of her. A cute, bright, unconventional young
woman had been insinuating herself into his stories and
screenplays since his college days (read Callie here,
view Ana here) and he wasn't sure why. When he met
Miles in March at a birthday party and heard about his
vision of an interactive, continuous You Tube drama,
Mesh listened.

... Always more the cinephile than web fan, Mesh decided at
the end of 2007 to leave LG15 in order to pursue his film
interests full time. By then he had written and directed
more than 200 Lonelygirl webisodes and his reputation
as a creator of LG15 had opened up the possibility to
direct his first feature film. Miles, Greg and Amanda had
LG15 studios well in hand. It was the right time to say
good-bye.

For Mesh, LG15 will always be Bree boogying in her
bedroom with Purple Monkey, staring down Daniel to
prove a point, pitying the fate of Poor Pluto, widening our
horizons with the odd but teasing factoid: "You probably
didn't know that 66% of kissers turn their heads to the
right in the seconds preceding a kiss. . . I looked it up on
the internet!."

Mesh, and a large number of folks across the
"Breeniverse," will never forget her.

"1984 - 2008. Gone But Not Forgotten."

Hi guys,

It’s Charlie here. I wanted to keep Kate’s Bebo page alive. I thought I would explain what happened to my dear Kate who I miss so much already.

Genevieve Strathcorran, or as you and I knew her, Kate, died on Sunday the 13th of January 2008, taken from her friends and family after living a really turbulent life, especially the past 6 months.

She was taken from us prematurely. She shouldn’t have been taken, it’s not fair on us and it’s not fair on her.

Kate can sleep now but I can’t, I need answers and I need your help finding them. Please leave your messages for Kate here, I know you all loved her as much as me and if she is logging onto her Bebo from heaven I know she’ll be watching.

Lots of Love
Charlie

CAN YOU IDENTIFY THE SYMBOL IN BLOOD?

In the most recent KateModern video the radio announces "-to a potentially telling development in the Brick Lane murder case. Sources today have revealed that some sort of occult symbol was found etched in blood at the scene of the crime. It is believed to belong to the religious group, The Hymn of One."

THE STORY SO FAR

With the Season 2 finale fast approaching its time to review the story so far. Where better to do that than LGPedia:

His Depression

Jonas is still depressed about Bree's death, as is everybody, and two unexpected people show up and try to cheer Jonas up, without much result. They are two party guests, Toby (Jonas's cousin), and his girlfriend Carla. Jonas isn't the only character to struggling with his emotions and trying to move on. Daniel and Jonas have both stated that they are finished vlogging, though Daniel did mention that he hadn't yet opened the e-mail Bree sent before her death, and that he may read it soon (possibly leading to another video), he also announces he has a new love interest, Mallory. Spencer, in an effort to come to terms with the end of the their adventure together and say goodbye made a trip to Zavalla, Texas where he reunited with Taylor and Sarah one last time before returning to work at Neutrogena

CATEGORY IDEAS FOR 2007 AWARDS

Glenn suggested that the community should have 2007 awards and he will participate with his radio show (GlennFM on BreeFM).

This idea was sparked off by the really wonderful "Hopey Awards" which are currently in progress at http://hopefulsemblance.blogspot.com. After the "Hopeys" have all been awarded we will ask for nominations in the suggested categories.

In the mean time we need "category ideas", so submit them below.

NOTE: this idea will only move forward if there is sufficient fan interest. Joe originally suggested an idea like this but we never reached critical mass. It would also help to have one or several people who could "champion" the effort of figuring out how to actually do this.

WHAT TIME IS IT?...Coverage of Glenn on BreeFM

Glenn, live on BreeFM @11pm EST, Wednesday.

--------------------------------------------------------------
This article is being written live during the show and as such it may contain significant factual errors. Hopefully these will be corrected over time.

NOTE: This was a very long and complex show and it may take a little longer than usual to iron out some of the kinks in the story. For now enjoy it for what it is....a draft article:) And yes, its long, but if you read to the end you will find out why Bree's mom could have been Op.Aphid!!!!!!!!!!

160,000+ views for the last Rachel video Glenn thanked the Red Army. He is working on the next video that is not quite at thumb nail stage yet. Fingers crossed, it may be released tomorrow. "The chair" still needs WD-40.
Something special planned for the Red Army. Glenn and Jeromy has always hoped RedEarth88 would take off and the Red Army has helped make it possible.

Glenn talked about how the radio show has helped bring us together as a community. Things work better when there is not division. Even though it is Glenn talking it has turned into a dialogue. It is like a combo therapy session/strategy meeting for him. He considers the Red Army like a support system.

Sara would also like to thank everyone. She has been reading the comments. She has done a lot of internet based stuff and she has never heard from so many people that she knows. A lot of people have seen her on the "being watched now on YouTube. Sara has a "day job" in addition to acting.









Glenn said he feels like RE88 has cleaned up with the "Hopey Awards". 3 "Hopeys" so far for stuff Glenn has worked on. He is surprised we have not seen more "Best Of 2007". He would like to see what would win best video.

Glenn suggested that we have 2007 awards and he will participate with his radio show (see post above).

Anchor Cove has had some good commentary and critique. LG15.com always tried to move onto the next big thing.

The time between shooting and posting LG15 videos can vary between a week to a day.

Up next: Speculation about that last video including uniqueblaze'e response video.

How Could THIS Happen? - redearth


Re: How Could THIS Happen? - uniqueblaze


Glenn asked listeners what they thought about the last video, "How Could THIS Happen?" by Rachel. The reason why Aly was staring is probably different from what Rachel thing. The viewers know more about what is going on than Rachel. Rachel does not know that Aly is Tachyon under cover. Tachyon has a lot of surprises. Her sexuality does not have anything to do with the story but Rachel's reaction does.

When this story arc is done people will be able to reflect and get more meaning out of it. Glenn wants the events to unfold in a way that entertains the viewer. With this medium we can tell this story in a more natural progression. We are experiencing Rachel's life.

Uniqueblaze video: why did Rachel favorite that video. Uniqueblaze is not canon but it was a very genuine response video. It was commentary and reaction. It was genuine and came across as offering a view point. It would be interesting to see more videos like that.

Rachel does not have much awareness of the "YouTube world". If anything was to penetrate Rachel's space it would be something like that where Rachel could interact in a social context. Glenn hopes that Uniqueblaze will continue to respond in that way and he could see potential in the future to incorporate something like that in the same way that Marla was integrated. Uniqueblaze is attractive and charming and did a great job with his video. He has "IT", as they say in the biz. He would make a great "lead" in he keeps making videos.

Glenn took it as a complement that some people speculated that he was gay.

The re-interpretation of the sit-com is a great way to present a "misunderstanding". By the end of the arc we are going to learn more about the characters and the story.

The working name for the video was "The Unthinkable Happened" and from Rachel's perspective the unthinkable did happen. At the last minute he changed the name. It was important to have a title that was true to Rachel's character. Glenn enjoys getting feedback on things like the title.

The comments on the last video were awesome. Because there were more people there were some really fun discussions going on like the LG15 comments used to have. If you want to get involved in the Red Army send an e-mail to [email protected].

Deagol brought up the "Kevin Bacon degrees of freedom game" which people were discussing on YouTube comments. IMDB is a great research tool for the Kevin Bacon game. He was on the Jon Stewart talk show in the early 90s. Glenn was working at the magazine "Blaster". The original idea was to have Wired for a younger set.

Reference from Wikipedia:
"Bacon is the subject of the trivia game titled Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, based on the idea that, due to his prolific screen career, any Hollywood actor can be "linked" to another in a handful of "steps" based on their associations with Bacon. Although it has since been proven that there are "better" centers in the Hollywood universe, such as Sean Connery, Christopher Lee, Rod Steiger, Gene Hackman or the prolific Michael Caine, Bacon's name remained the focus because he was the first one selected by the game's creators, and because the name "Kevin Bacon" rhymes with the last word of the phrase "six degrees of separation". A person's number of degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon is known as one's "Bacon Number"."

Syndication on the RedEarth88 channel: it would come across that the series has more depth. If you just watch the Rachel videos viewers tend to be dismissive. Next week we will talk more about "The Plan".

Beds Are Burning - makes Glenn think of a dance anthem. He thinks of 2 men in a cage. When he lived in S. California, Glenn's friend that he mentioned last week would come down and Glenns girlfriend loved to hang out with him They would go to the Abbey. It was a little mellower and it has a great vibe. Later on they went to the Rage (West Hollywood). Think "leather daddy" or the village people x 100. Sticking within the legal limits the people who created Rage made the gayest club that LA has ever seen.

If you want to hang out in San Francisco you dont want to hang out on Market Street. The Castro is awesome. The bars look a little scary but Marcellos Pizza is great. If you are looking for food at 2 am Marcellos is fantastic.

Glenn would walk in their with a group of friends and one of them was wearing a pink shirt. He could tell how uncomfortable his friend was so he started teasing him by making him feel uncomfortable. He went there with Yousef when he was at the YouTube gathering last year.

Glenn talked about "Uncaberet - Julia Sweeney" and the comedian sceene in LA. He used to go to a lot of stand up comedy. His original goal was to write for sit-coms. He met a lot of people and got advice and input. If you have goals specific to "the biz" and you are outgoing then LA is the place to go. You have opportunity to audition and network. If you do your research you can find workshops on anything you want to pursue. You have to be willing to put yourself out there.

Glenn made one fatal mistake. Do not move to S. California with someone you are in a relationship with. While you want to pursue your dreams your partner is going to be hanging out and bored. You are passionate and if they are not they have a lot of time on their hands. By month 5 or 6 you will be staying out of the house to avoid the grief at home. Either your goals and dreams or the relationship is going to go.

After a year Glenn moved back to N. California where he had some great consulting and writing opportunities.

If you want to act really research it. You have to pursue it in the smartest way possible. People do not take action because either they do not know what to do or they do not have the self confidence to do it.

Pick any industry. The most successful people are probably working in the greater LA/Hollywood area. If you want to be at the top of your game you are constantly reminded that you are not there. It is dangling in front of you. After a while you start to become a little jaded and bitter. All of these bitter people are the ones serving you coffee or bagging your groceries. You meet a lot of people with a chip on their shoulder. You are surrounded by the image of the best and thats probably not where you are. Not everyone is bitter.

John Edwards talks about two Americas. If in LA you have two cultures. In New York you have pocket of communities. The Latino community is very friendly and most towns in California have a significant Latino community within them. In S. California the number one radio station is Spanish speaking. There is power in numbers. It is almost like a co-existence despite some integration of the community. From a sociological point of view it is very interesting.

Glenn would love to have Del Taco as a sponsor and he would love to write a Rachel vlog on that topic. At 1am Del Taco is there for you with delicious food. Glenn wrote a Jonas vlog about him trying to get Bree to open up. He had an entire speach about Del Taco written. Miles liked the rant but it did not work for other reasons.

Daniel/Bree hooking up?

Glenn's failed crusade to have Bree and Daniel sleep together!! Bree was not at the age to really appreciate Daniel. He compared it to his own teenage life that mirrored certain elements of "My So Called Life".

Before Glenn joined LG15 Bree talked about how weird it was kissing Daniel. She said it was "icky". She was not into Daniel that way. At the time it seemed strange. Glenn was shocked that they had Bree reject Daniel. Glenn figured Bree would take an interest in Daniel if Daniel took an interest in another girl. Perhaps Bree would realize she was into Daniel a little bit.

When you are a teenager its harder to tell a friend you are interested in them. You have long all night conversations. You save the pen. You have ever note she sent you. Everyone would know you were into her. You might drop hints and she would shoot you down. Every 6 months to a year you would get a glimmer of hope. You might get that hug, or a kiss on the cheek. You see the hope when there is none.

It might happen 10 years laster when you run into each other in a club. Is it worth it at that point? Its cool but you just do not care.

Beyond the age of 18 the secret is: if you are hanging out with someone or going out with someone....if something does not happen after hanging out 3 times (even a minor closeness in contact is a good sign) it not going to happen. It is probably never going to happen so save yourself the time. You have to put it out there (be aggressive).

There is so much Glenn wants to tell his younger self. Never tell a girl you want to kiss her. Just kiss her.

If you hang out more than 3 times and you do not make "the move" then you are in the "friend zone" and you will never escape it.

Greg Mesh and Miles all have this in their past so when they were talking about Bree/Daniel it seemed to Glenn that if you were going to have that time when Bree would give Daniel that really bad encouragement. After Bree's dad got shot it was a time where she would do something extreme with a person she was close to such as Daniel. A hug is good but it can be misinterpreted. It could have tested the waters. What were the limitations. There was an internal LG15 resistance to Bree having sex. There was no talk about her having to be a virgin to do the ceremony. With the timing it would not be held against Bree given the situation.

Some people had the argument that Jonas and Bree would hook up first. In the long term Daniel was the type of guy that Bree should hook up with. In theory Daniel should have moved on.

Glenn said that if he had hooked up with with a girl in that situation he would have freaked her out by being too emotionally needy. Once they were friends again, he would be thinking in the back of his head that it could happened again. He never would have moved on.

Daniel being drunk: Glenn was told to tone down some stuff. Originally Daniel talked more about his parents being in AA. Glenn would get mad that after something was established a characters would just get drunk. Things felt untrue to the characters as Glenn knew them. Things have to fit for Glenn.

Aunt Alex: originally created to be around 25-29. She would not have been old enough to take care of Jonas. Her career would have been on an upswing. She would have arranged for the disappearance/murder of Jonas' parents.

Glenn talked about stuff with Yousef and Glenn thinks they should have Yousef write on the show because his ideas are very good. He really cares about the characters. He is passionate and committed and he is really talented.

Yousef asked Glenn about Daniel's parents being hands off. Glenn thought about it a lot and it started to come together. They had Daniel drink in the Katheryn McPhee episode. They went bowling and met Jackie Jandrell. She is incredibly beautiful in person and a delightful individual.

Glenn had to prepare for a drop (drivers license) and drove back to N. Cali. This is why Jonas house is in N. California. Some people would get Ukiah because he has a rough idea where the audience was based on the phone messages. He did drops in the bay area because there were 10 players based in that area. He figured that Ladron would get it.

Drop 7 (Yokayo Bowl) on LGPedia.

LGpedia needs your HELP: Ways To Help





Normally you would split up the bowling alleys but it did not quite work out that way. If everyone had picked the bowling alley closest to them it could have been done in a few hours.

The Petaluma drop was awesome. Even though it did not go according to plan he loved the in character interaction.

Drop 4 (The Lost Art of Punctuality)

Drop 6 (Petaluma Revisited)







Look at the London drop. That took two or three days.

Driving back from S. Cali he was thinking about Daniels parents. By the time they did clean up their act Daniels resentment would be enough to keep him out of the house. Glenn knew people like that.

Bree's Mom: they were shifting the idea of which parent was more religious. She recruited her dad in order to do research for the Order. Glenn wanted Bree's mom to be OpAphid. OpAphid and Tachyhon were already inegreated and everything actually fit from a story telling perspective. It would make sense of the webcam in Bree's room It fit so well it would look like it was planned from the beginning

They were afraid because pple were freaking out that they would have to follow the ARG. It was also back burnered to other things. By the time of HR it was becoming fully integrated. They had to change out the music on a couple of Tachyon videos because of Revver so that took a little longer.

Could Bree's mom have been OpAphid?
(look at OpAphid as Darth Vadar) hints:









"Bree Phone Home" - Bree's mom had an insane temper

"My mom was furious.
(Bree holds her hands up beside her head and makes horns with her fingers, and imitates fire coming out of her mouth and then steam coming out of her ears.)"





"Mystery Movies" - Bree's mom was a little pissed about Bree spending time with her dad.

"My dad's research kept him really busy, but he always made sure to devote one afternoon a week to spend time with me. So on those afternoons, if there was a spy movie that he wanted to see, he knew that he wouldn't get any complaints out of me. (little laugh) But I think that my mother wasn't always happy when she'd find out."


OpAphid was going to be pissed about the shadow bounty hunter:
- Rogue elder sent out the shadow for Vegas and Opaphid was pissed
- OpAphid viewed these things were testing Bree
- OpAphid had a goal to over throw the Order elders with the help of Bree: This would have taken it from the Order being the bad guys to the Order trying to get Bree while OpAphid could both help Bree and be after her at the same time.

Compare this to Smallville, with Jorel being not good/no bad. Glenn did not like how they did that but it could have been a better version of that.

Look back at Hiding In The Bathroom

"My mom was higher up in the Order. My dad told me that there are different levels and people on the lower levels know very little."






What has work out in RE88 is having OpAphid beind detached from the Order. OpAphid has a lot more to do with RE88 than she did with LG15. It is not going to be how people would predict.

When Glenn came onboard with LG15 he did not understand the big story and he has not understood it since he left. What bumms him out is the lack of a big story. With RE88 Glenn knows the big story. It has evolved and developed but it has not changed. When pple look back on this arc they will be surprised how much story there is.
