Subject: sorry everyone
Body: Hey what's up everyone out there in myspace land.
It's Yousef aaaaaand I've been a bum on here.
I have been really busy and haven't had a chance to reply to alot of the messages. Rest assured though that I will get to them pretty soon.
Also keep your fingers crossed for me, because I'm working on developing something brand new called "Endangered".
I don't want to jinx it so I wont say anything else for now, but if it gets picked up it will be amazing!!!!!!!!!
Later lovas!!!!

Page 1:
Another day scouting- 12 Hymn recruitment centers total. News that 10 are under construction.
Went with George & Penny to a seminar- listen to their rhetoric. Signed up under the guise of "Lost souls looking for answers,-" for our "eternal song". Speech lasted 1 hr- many seemed convinced of Hymn leading leading them to path of enlightenment & control.
Convincing words, hollow gestures. Still the 26 attendees were convinced- hooked.
Clear: Hymn preys on the desperate; people who've made mistakes, need direction in their lives. Spoke to several recruits after meeting- many were escaping drugs, alcohol, etc. looking for a way out. But those addictions are replaced by this- there is no casual membership in the Hymn.
Enamored by "everlasting clarity"- one such attendee told Penny.
Page two:
Michael and George returned from Alberta. Trip cut short when spotted by person described as "Helper". Spotted kids in Reinland Park but unable to make contact.
Intel described as "disturbing"-
La Crete = medical facility functions as "customs center" for the Order. They collect, raise, and experiment on TRAIT + as they see fit.
Locals described it as "girls go in but don't come out."
Surveillance - water chamber, bloody gurney, morgue, nursery.
George tried to enter - maybe help - Michael stopped him- Why?
Said the facility was too secure.
Page 3:
Bloodwork headed to La Crate interrupted en route... somehow lost. George responsible for operation - all going well but Michael lost the carrier. How? Too many mistakes
Worst fears come true!! Michael has gone astray. Sabotage. La Crete raid went wrong, Theresa's death not an accident, all of our suspicions have come to fruition.
While I was away scouting the temple, Michael poisoned their ears.
The group has fractured with no hope of returning to normal. Nearly a decade of fighting - for what? To be torn apart from inside?
Page 4:
How do we recover from his treachery?
All who converted are missing or dead. Those alive,
We who stayed true, are scattered. Packed up our research, locked up the bunkers,
And now living amongst the public. Will he come for us too?
Page 5:
My dear son. He is young but will learn the truth about us someday. For now we live as a normal family- one that is full of joy and laughter. All too soon he will know the horrifying truth of what life can bring. The many people of this earth are at the mercy of a secret few. But while Jonas is a mere boy, he will not be concerned with this darkness. It is our cross to bear. In youth there is obliviousness; happiness. But with age comes knowledge. Which he'll one day have to face. Until then, it is my job to make sure he is safe and confident. For it is within my son hope resides. When we are gone, he will be the last of the Resistance. As long as the Order cannot locate the key, he will be safe for all time

I just got out of chat and wanted to give everyone an update. I'm here with the girls at a motel near Jonas's. We've been hiding out until we can decide on our next move. Everyone in chat agreed that I need to look at the journal more. I also agreed to post a few of the pages I scanned from the journal (see below). I didn't stay at the house long cuz of the danger - what if they came back for us?! I didn't see that black thing anywhere and I'm pretty sure Jonas didn't leave it. I watched the footage a dozen time and it looks like he puts it in his mouth or swallows it. Anyway, that's the least of my concern right now. We have to find Jonas before they kill him. We decided in chat that I should find Lucy - you guys are right! That's definitely our next move.

Okay, this looks unlikely to me to actually be an account created by Jackson Davis, but I thought some of the super-sleuths around here might find it entertaining to check out...
On the YouTube comments for Blood Will Flow, there is a comment:
TheSawRemixThen, if you check out the TheSawRemix channel, there are comments back and forth with TheCommentOption, who writes as Jonas/Jackson, uses images available on lgpedia of Jackson, and has this profile description:
Jackson, you rock. Can't wait to join the cast. :)
Joined: May 28, 2008 I SUPPORT THESAWREMIXIf you check the comments on these two channels, there is mention of some kind of conflict someone is having over libel of an "Erin Tucker" (TheSawRemix's name, it appears) and mentions that Miles wants TheSawRemix to be on the new LG15 show, etc. For example:
I never thought I'd actually create an account to argue with people on the internet, so here's a bio about me, just to keep you guys entertained while I babysit.
Hey, my name is.... Jonas. I aquired that name in 2006 when I was asked to do a YouTube show.... odd eh?
Just for everyone's information, I DO NOT OWN jonastko. Yes, the videos are mostly myself, but the account was created solely for the purposes of the YouTube series.
Lastly, I am proudly taken. I am NOT dating Jennie from the lg series, so stop with the stupid questions. We are only friends.
Name: Jackson "Jonas" Davis
TheSawRemix | July 11, 2008
hardy har har! You are soooo fucking funny. :)
omg.. wtf is Miles making you do?
Yousef sent me the video like an hour before they set it to public and i'm like wtf? Message me and tell me what's going on with Jonas because people are saying the order killed you..
TheCommentOption | July 11, 2008
You know I can't. Be happy that Miles and Greg are considering letting you come be a part of lg15. You'll be like a web-celeb.
TheSawRemix | July 11, 2008
i know..
he left me like 3 voicemails when i was doing the marx shoot. i just really dont want to be with the order as a character.. and seriously, honestly, and respectfully if they kill you then the show is going to be shit
TheSawRemix | July 11, 2008
where are you Jony, i miss you and am on blog.. im waitttinnnng
tell Miles you can fuck with Yousef later :)
TheCommentOption | July 11, 2008
It's time for me to go but I will call you when I get out, and if I don't reach you then, I'll catch you on your blog broadcast.
(: jonas (:
TheCommentOption | July 11, 2008
And to anyone whom thinks I'm desperate for liking you:
Erin, I do like you, I like you A LOT. You are someone very special and I enjoy your company 100%. You and my friends are always cool with each other and you are the life of the party. You make me smile, and when I think about you I can't help but not to laugh because of how close we really are.
TheCommentOption | July 11, 2008
You're an amazing singer and actress, someone who's never selfish and always puts her friends first. We've gotten through TWO YEARS of me traveling since I've been doing lonelygirl15 and almost no one has stayed out with me that long. I really hope you take Miles' offer to join the lg cast whatever it is because you're the only person I want to be around more than Yousef.
As always,
Jonas
TheSawRemix | July 11, 2008
I must say, that was a really sweet and well thought out comment. The next time we see each other I'm going to do nothing but give you the biggest hug of your life.
<3 you always. -Erin-
In Bloodlines: Part4, Dr. Hart said
I remember the first time I met Gina. I had just started working for Porter. We flew on his jet to Lake Baikal in Siberia. We drove all day and into the night, until we found this tiny Russian village. A priest there introduced us to this young mother. And then we finally met her two girls. A two-year old named Yevgeny, and her newborn sister, Bronislava.

immortal1 - I don’t think it’s fair to say that we only recognize “EQAL” characters. We often reference community members in the videos by username. A username is essentially the equivalent to a character created by a member of the community. We don’t want to stifle creativity and we want to encourage the community created videos - both real and fictional. It is complicated to more fully integrate community created characters and storylines as we must pre-shoot a lot of the videos so that we can organize schedules with cast/crew. We also don’t want to be looked as playing favorites to some community members over others. I’d like to keep this dialogue about this topic going so we can find ways to do even more interaction as we progress with all of our shows. We should talk about further in our live chat.

Discussion thread on Anchor Cove
In an exhaustive story on Google’s troubles monetizing YouTube, The Wall Street Journal discovered that the company is considering a plan to implement the dreaded pre- and post-roll advertisements, something the company has shunned since the beginning.

Obviously, YouTube’s need to kick-start the cash flow is the biggest reason to implement the hated ad format, but I wonder if the Google folks are actually getting two steps ahead back to oldteevee.

Glenn Rubenstein, live on BreeFM @11pm EST, Wednesday.
4th July
Glenn was forced to be social. The question of what you have been up to takes a long time to explain so he would rather not. In the right setting with the right people however it is great to bust out the instruments.
Glenn sang "Hard To Handle". They also played charades.
Lonelygirl15
Glenn has not been asked to participate in the Lonelygirl15 finale but he does have ideas He heard rumblings about the relaunch in the advertising community. Glenn understands the urge to change. Headboard had 4 different incarnations but it always had the same name......they had brand recognition. If you have a new name you need a big splash to over shadow the old name. As a fan Glenn thought you could not have Lonelygirl15 without Bree. From an analytical point of view however if it takes place in the same universe you ask how do you leverage that. What do you do?
Glenn talked about this in the past when Cloverfield came out. There is very little awareness of Lonelygirl15 beyond Bree in her bedroom video blogging. A lot of people are not even aware the show is still going on. While pitching RedEarth88 he would talk about Lonelygirl15 and people would have the wrong perception. In Glenn's case he can at least show the Aly Zarin video. It is almost better to come into it without a preconceived notion. With Lonelygirl15 people would be reluctant to watch the recaps because they already have a fixed idea what it is about. People know what Lonelygirl15 is, but very few people in the business actually watch the show.
Having co-developed the interactive elements of the show Glenn tends to reference Lonelygirl15 a lot and he has been advised not to mention Lonelygirl15. If you showed just the "Human Ransom" video they would like it. People in advertising have a lot to do and if they already have a concept in their head it is hard to change that. How long has it been since Lonelygirl15 had a product placement? A new name helps them with that.
With Eqal it looks a little like a text message because people today don't spell correctly. Perhaps Eqal could use an acronym because those have not been hip for a long time. If you trademark a name you have to use it and the short hand does not really cut it. You can use LG15 but people know what Lonelygirl15 stands for.
KateModern had value to Bebo beyond views. They started working with other shows using the same network model. It was a thriving social network before KateModern.
If you drop the name Lonelygirl15 what would you call the show? Lonelygirl15 has 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. No matter how good the new show the reality is that it is not getting 100,000 subscribers anytime soon. This is a different time. Glenn bets that the new show will be posted on the Lonelygirl15 channel. If they use "notlonelygirl15" and it has 7 subscribers it does not matter because if they also post it on Lonelygirl15 they can say they have a combined subscription of 100,007. "Motherf**kers gotta get paid" ~ Glenn Rubenstein.
There is going to be a clearing of the deck. You can only wrap up so many loose ends if you are going to keep it in the same universe. Glenn would never say all your questions will be answered. Think of this as just an abrupt change. There will probably be a PR blitz for the new show. They will emphasize the new show rather than the ending of Lonelygirl15. They announced it to the community because they don't want the community to be pissed. You cannot take risks because a lot of people invested in Eqal.
If you take the best elements of KateModern and Lonelygirl15 you might move a couple of characters over. You are not going to have a nice clean wrap up because the new show is set in the same universe. You need to save some of the mystery. Glenn would kill off every character he was not bringing to the new show. In the new show the remaining characters could avenge their friends. Glenn spent a lot of time trying to put the pieces into place while he was there. There were some shifts in the show. No one is going to believe that they had it planned out from the beginning.
Glenn was thinking about twist endings last night. You work backwards from the ending. When you are producing a show with a very short lead time you have to figure out your moves way in advance. With Lonelygirl15 they did not have that luxury.
Glenn would figure out the new story and then work back to the ending of Lonelygirl15 in terms of who should be killed off. Glenn really enjoyed working on Lonelygirl15 at many levels but it was very stressful. There have not been a lot of opportunities to really sit down and plan things out. Taking a break before the new show should allow for better execution. Glenn had a week to work out 3 months of story line. Then you have casting etc.
In April, 2007 Miles posted about an actress dropping out at the last minute. Glenn assumes that was "Molly". She was supposed to die at the end of her story arc and Sarah was going to avenge Molly. Then they had to switch it to the Jules arc when the actress dropped out. Doing stuff on a break neck production deadline counts on the best case scenario happening. If it does not you have to be able to think on your feet.
There is time for the new show to do it right. Perhaps it will allow for a greater quality of product. Time constraints and stress are not good for product quality. That is what happened with the Cowboy story.
With RedEarth88 Glenn did not sacrifice story/quality to put videos out on a constrained schedule. It took Sarah doing a movie for Glenn to focus on the business side of things. If you try to maintain a balance between business and story videos it is very very hard. Glenn has compassion for the situation Lonelygirl15 is in because it is stressful. We have not been totally satisfied with Lonelygirl15 for some time so will the ending really validate all the time we have put into it? Most of the time you kill people because it is final. Instead of killing people Daniel can go to film school and Sarah can get a new therapist and they can clone Bree from her DNA. Jonas could have a time machine. Daniel could meet a new girl in class and it would turn out to be Cassie. Fade to black. Unfortunately you cannot do that with the new show. Plus we all want answers.
You can also build new stuff to distract people.
Glenn talked about the ending of Quantum Leap. That was really bad because they thought they would have another season. Black Text on the screen and then THE END. Now if LG15 did that they would have Glenn's respect.
New pitch: like HR.....we have it look like some characters are dead. Remember the live feed idea. You cut to the black card...the transmission cuts out.....if you have any information of the where about of the characters contact a character in the new show. It is going to give you a mystery. It will introduce someone new and cool (cf Tachyon). It could even have an ARG trail head to launch the new show. This way you at least get to see the audience reaction. Killing people like Gina has not gone well in the past and this would give them an out. You are not committed to anything till after you see the fan reaction.
People are not going to tune into the new show if you kill off their favorite characters. You make the first 2-3 weeks of the new show trying to figure things out. The big public launch would then be 2 weeks into the show with an explosive event. You have already captured the old fan base. People will not care who is dead because they really like the new character. In other words, the ending for the old show really becomes the beginning of the new show (see: "Three is a Crowd").
If you have the shit go down and Jonas survives you are not impressing anyone.
Glenn then played some mixes he created with a new program:
Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name (GlennFM Mix)
Britney Spears - Toxic (GlennFM Mix)
Bad Religion - Infected (GlennFM Mix)
Audioslave - Like A Stone (GlennFM Mix)
I Get Around (GlennFM Mix)
Britney Spears samples a Bolywoold movie. When Glenn was doing the Mashup Of Doom last year he did not use Mixmater Fusion. He did it in a linear fashion. It was probably one of the more fun puzzles Glenn has worked on. If Glenn could get paid to remix songs he would love it. For example you could do an ARG for a radio station or Amazon or iTunes (they already have the licenses to use music). You have to be careful using copyrighted music and that limits your options if you are doing it commercially.
Here is the archive of of stories from LG15 TODAY concerning Glenn's radio show on BreeFM.

I’ve been actually agonizing on whether I should get involved in this discussion again. It’s hard not talking about the past. but I think Apo said what needed to be said in that regard. I really believe a lot of hurt feelings could be avoided if you were absolutely clear about what you mean by your EQAL concept. Miles said, “The most important thing to us is the interaction between the characters, the show, the community members, and the community videos.”
Based on past history I take this to mean you want community members to make video comments as themselves and offer opinions and advice. Unfortunately this stifles creativity. You have an active In Development section with people who want to be their own characters with their own stories. I’d venture to say the majority of the videos you receive are not video comments.
So my question to you, point blank is this: is it your policy that no EQAL created character will interact or acknowledge via video, a character not created by EQAL? If “no” then why hasn’t it happened?
Either way is totally fine with me but let’s make it clear, interaction is limited to non-characters and there will never be an officially recognized extended universe.

Mary Feuer née Biggins is a former writer for the lonelygirl15 video series. She was first credited on the video That Arrogant Jerk!. Notably, she is the first person to be given the title of "supervising producer" for the show. Additionally, she writes for the TV series "Dante's Cove," which has been described as "Dark Shadows" meets "Queer As Folk" meets "The O.C."
A native of Waltham, MA, Mary is the second of five children, including her brother Sean Vincent Biggins, who played Dr. Calvin Hart on the show. She graduated from the University of Massachusetts-Boston with a major in English and a minor in Theater and went on to become a movie and commercial producer in Boston, working on films such as Illtown and Mrs. Winterbourne. However, she soon became tired of being the "logistical backbone for other creative elements--writers, directors, actors--and wanted to create her own material.".
In 2004, Mary headed to Los Angeles and established herself as a scriptwriter, writing, among other things, the short films In The Bedroom and Rock Bottom. Looking to develop her scriptwriting skills, Mary took a writing class at UCLA, where she fell in love with prose. Shortly thereafter, she wrote the short story, "House on Fire," which was inspired by her experiences watching her father, a firefighter, at work. The story went on to beat out over 19,000 entries to win the Grand Prize in the 2006 Writer's Digest 75th Anniversary Competition. At this time, Mary continues to write for "Dante's Cove" and work on her latest projects, including a Christmas movie for ABC Family and a web series called "With The Angels," which is set to premiere on StrikeTV.com in Summer 2008. "With The Angels" stars Carly Jones and Sean Vincent Biggins and features Jonathan Robert Kaplan as a co-writer.
Additionally, Mary is extremely passionate about scuba diving and posts dive reports and photos from her dives on her MySpace blog.

Some serious and not-so-serious suggestions for how fans think lonelygirl15 will end, plus other fan art and videos in honor of the finale.
From RoseCrowley:
Jonas's house
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. This location was chosen because of the way it tied into the bowling alley drop. [1] 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.
[edit]Images of Jonas's House
His Dad's Study
In the first picture, Jonas is seen talking on his webcam in his library on Thanksgiving Day.
In the second picture, in Trust Issues, what may be key elements of Jonas's library can be seen (besides all the books on the bookshelf):
Trophies
Polaroid camera
Boxing gloves
What appears to be a statue of some kind
This video features Jonas wearing a distinctive "sailors cap/Argyle hat".
In Trust Issues, a clock set to 7:10 is visible. (If the clock is actually set to 7:11 then perhaps the Orange Slurpee cult is on to something.)

Jonas comments that he is surprised that his house has not been ransacked by The Order. Ironically, when Jonas last visited his house in October, someone had indeed broken into the house and rummaged through various parts of the house, including the library.

Revelations, the Bible. But check this out. (Holds up the open book to where a piece has been cut out) Look. (Inserts the piece from the clock in, which is a perfect fit) Huh. Perfect. And look, I haven't read this yet because I wanted to wait for you guys but the passage is marked, "Revelations 7:11" so... (sniffs) here we go. (Reading the passage from the Bible) "And all the angels stood about the throne and about the... elders and the four beasts and fell before the throne on their faces and worshiped God." Oh look at this, I didn't even notice this. There's something... there's something written in the margins here. (Holds book up to camera) You see that? It says, "Elders will fall when the sun rises." (Pondering) Elders will fall when the sun rises... what does that mean?
