EDIT 12:23 EST 12/29:

Well, since nobody seems to want to discuss the videos anymore (though i see people browsing around), here's the lgpedia notes from this video for ease of reference:

www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Roadtrip

In the video, Daniel says he figured out the Bree Phone Home puzzle from Bree's December 18th video with the same title.

The "flux capacitor" that Jonas mentions is from the movie Back to the Future. The flux capacitor, powered with plutonium, allowed the main characters in the film to travel through time. Although Jonas says his flux capacitor is out of uranium, in fact plutonium can be produced from uranium.

Daniel's ability to stay awake for at least 14 hours straight while solving puzzles and doing research was previously established in his video Aleister Crowley.

Apparently Jonas has more than one car, seeing as how he's driving a car right after a blog was posted about Bree stealing his car.

Well, he did say that Bree took ONE of his cars.

True, alissa, there is no way jonas would have just one car at the mansion.

OK, so i see the OpAphidites report that the hotel is the Hilton-LAX, though I'm not sure that storyline that is supposed to be the actual location. who knows.

i never expected that jonas and daniel would get along so well. its not that they know eachother well, i think its more that many guys can get along well when they don't know eachother that much (i submit its not the same for girls of the same age, feel free to disagree). daniel is very resistant to change, as is consistent with his reserved 18-year old film-computer slacker geek persona, but all these changes leave him needing to blow off some steam in a way he can't do with bree, so jonas fits the bill. and there's nothing like a road trip for some male bonding, a la my favorite road trip movie: Chris Farley and David Spade in Tommy Boy!

Soon the boys may be singing their hearts out to "Junkie" as they drive along to the bree-breedad father-daughter reunion (daniel, "um, breedad, i didn't really mean you should go to hell like i said in that old video. haha. ... oh, you never watch youtube? just joking then ....)

[hookedonmonics]

so, any idea where they're headed?
Jonas was kinda annoying in the last part of the video. I hope daniel isn't stuck in the car with him for too long!

The "Snort"? What's up with that bit of dramatic acting from Jonas...

So, we have the predicted Buddy Adventure Team although it seems like a strange way to end it before uploading.

It would be interesting if they could catch all the Playahs involved skulking around the LAX Hilton on a surveillance cam. If you haven't seen the latest Tachyon vid, you should. The editing and music are wicked cool. Really.

Let's hope the Phorumites don't set the hotel on fire first .

Hi Everyone,

While the rest of us (well, except Milo, CG, Hye, Noa, and up till yesterday Slainte) spend time away from the Breeniverse, celebrating the holidays, the LG15 crew keeps hard at work cranking out the vlogs.

I used to get more upset by the inconsistencies of story and stage, but I think I'm beginning to accept the fact that Bree and Daniel aren't real! Now I can sit back and enjoy the tall tales.

Finally, the much anticipated Road Trips have begun. I thought for sure it would be Daniel and Bree taking the trip, but when they had a car they just traveled aimlessly around in circles. Bree (with Dad's moral support and clues) decided to strike out on her own. And two guys follow.

I think it's swell that Daniel and Jonas are getting along, but I'm really struck by the father-daughter bond between Bree and her Dad. It's been in the story from the start and is taking center stage. First it's John Mayer, now M&M. What experiences are these YAMs (Young Adult Males) drawing from when they talk about Fathers and Daughters? As an OFOD (Old Father of Daughter), I amazed at how much they get right.

Hippy New Year,

FLWright

<edit added> PS Thanks to all of you who keep the fires burning at the Cove, it's nice to know someone is watching over the neighborhood.
