They had a shot of lg15.com in a previous video already. The one where Steve talks about online hoaxs, it was pretty great.
Again, I'm impressed by the integration of fan interaction and the story. Sure the "Oops we locked ourselves in" is clearly forced, but it isn't as arbitrary as writing things in binary for the sake of writing things in binary. The only big downside that that they were advertising that people should go there well before the reason to go there had come up in a video. It is a tricky balance between giving enough early warning and making it still fit within the story that they have yet to perfect.
Is it wrong that I want them to not save Kate with the same amount of intensity that I wanted them to save Bree

...why wouldn't they just log onto instant messenger or killsometime.com or message.com or txtforfree.com and send Tariq a text (SMS) asking for the code? In fact, a quick google search for "text message online + U.K." provides you with several websites to send an sms...

Is it a coincidence that it's a Saturday tomorrow? I wonder how many people will show up, more than the ten who showed up for the HoO seminar?

Is it a coincidence that it's a Saturday tomorrow? I wonder how many people will show up, more than the ten who showed up for the HoO seminar? The HoO seminar was by invitation only, thus also drastically cutting down on the pool of people who might go. Friday, Saturday, Monday, whatever. LG15 has no shortage of unemployed fans. Oh, and can anyone clarify why there's such a hurry to go to Carnaby St? I'm not buying into Charlie's and Gavin's sense of urgency, but maybe I'm just not following the videos closely enough. Am I missing something? For crying out loud, they are stuck in a broom closet "office" with no, uh, restroom. Shouldn't they be asking Tariq to shoot them an email with the access code? (I know, I know... check the logic at the door... I was sorta hoping the writing would be better this time around.) |

Initially the HoO seminar was by invitation only, but it became an open invitation, and was even posted on Craigslist as a casting call.
But the decision by the C's to require parental accompaniment for minors as an answer to those who were voicing concern about minors safety and the fact that it was in the middle of the day on a work day, did cut down on potential participants significantly.
As far as the reason for the Carnaby St. meet up, the best I can tell, the only reason is that that is where Kate is meeting Steve who the gang thinks is trouble. And as an excuse for the first KM interactive event (or interfakeative event).

Not to rehash too much, but my objection was that they were contacting potential minors via personal email to invite them. The distinction between that and a public notice is the difference. Subtle difference maybe, but I personally see this as a much more legitimate way to do this. I find it kind of an interesting to explore the blurring of lines between public and private communications that the web has opened up. |

I find it kind of an interesting to explore the blurring of lines between public and private communications that the web has opened up. We did voice concerns about the e-mail invitations to potential minors at that time. The fact that those e-mails were sent with instructions to keep the invitation a secret bordered on insanity. This event, in contrast, was planned and executed with security and precision, and I applaud the C's for learning from their past mistakes. |
