YAY! This is so cool! I'm so glad I stayed up for it! Were those three people that got to talk to DJS fans? Cuz thats awesome.

I agree it is a BIT of a let down, but its still really cool that they are allowing fans to participate.

really want to hear all about what happened behind the scenes. Was it like a real seminar or was it just like being on a movie set where they only do certain scenes and do a few takes of everything?

It's not like such a question really has to be posited. I think the answer is obvious.

I actually thought this was really well done. The "spy camera" angle was a clever way to dodge the reality vlog issue (always a factor with me) and they were no jarring WTF moments. Jan's influence on this is really showing. I really can't see how they could have done this any better.

I was hoping Sarah would get caught and sacrificed on some kind of notThelemic alter or something though. One can only be optimistic about future plot developments now that there is something resembling a plot going on. That would be cliche', but her character is so trite that it would fit right in.

i was there guys. i didn't want to post till after the vid was released.
there are two flyers one from under the red stone and one from under the blue stone. I took one from the red and started to get one from under the blue but karl started walking towards me and...well if you remember how he was to Daniel in the party scene then you can see why I got nervous and only ended up with the red one.

Just for shits and giggles - heres the number from the RED stone.
866 558 2749

Haha aww thats funny. I'd be scared of Carl too. Did you call the number?

Was the whole thing done improptu or did they stop and film parts of it again? Was it realistic the whole time?

Yeah, I totally caught that. They said those flyers they handed out were under a blue stone. They need to really examine that stuff and see how it will help on Friday.

Oh, and those HoO people are freaky.

Well, that explains the "Beneath the blue stone" a couple videos back to an extent. Although, the fact that you just mentioned that there was a red stone makes me wonder whether there's a difference between red stone flyers and blue stone flyers, or that perhaps they expect types of people to get each type of flyer.

voyboy, what else happened at the seminar besides what was in the video?

Gidget · Post by **Gidget** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 5:16 am

Is it just me or after Sarah says "Can we get something to eat after this?" Daniel says "Shush baby! Shush!"

haha its kinda whispered, but thats what it sounded like to me.

I'd also like to point out that first Sarah is wearing the trucker hat, and then DB is. Thats cute.

Thanks for posting this. By the way, was the text on your flyer the same as that on the one confirmed to be from under a blue stone?

For those who don't feel like calling the number, I did. You get this message:

"You have reached the Hymn of One. We are happy to hear from you. We'd like to take this moment to thank you for attending today's Hymn of One seminar. Please know that we take your candicacy very seriously. Our elders will be reviewing your audition in today's video over the next few weeks.

So, now I'm wondering if the blue stone lead more directly to further instructions. the red message seems like "don't call us; we'll call you"

ControlledEntropy · Post by **ControlledEntropy** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 5:20 am

I wonder if you were to call the number at another time you'd get a human voice, and this message mentioned was a voicemail of sorts?

The entire seminar was all real time and in character. The "fourthwall" was never taken down.

All the doubts that people had can be washed away, because this was VERY organized VERY well done and VERY safe. It was so well done. I was a bit surprised that so few (over 18) showed up. I know it was a work day, thats why I took a vacation day from work, and I suggest that the next time they do a live event, you do the same.

Just when I thought it couldn't get better - boom! I got to be in the episode with them (pssst! I am the guy that gave them the footage

)

See the Hymn of One IS Fun!!!!!
