i half-listened to this, and made some notes below

-- they reference Paytotheorder vs. dinosaur as the first video "before they cast the actress" and actually play that video. they said at first it got maybe 700 views.

-- they also reference grant steinfeld (not by name though), as a friend of mesh's who set up what was supposed to be a "tribute" site to bree.

18:33 greg says 35,000 people came to the chatroom on the night of the bree chat disaster.

20:30 - shoutout to goodgollyitsholly

interfakeativity shoutout: "ultimately we knew they were going to trust jonas, because they had no where else to go"

25:00 - this is the middle of greg talking about the hunt for them. they mention the forever21 triangulation theory, as well as the botanist research.

32:00 they play a snip of a maddisonatkins's video.

34:30 - they reference the fact about the 3 different logins for the main page, the phorum, and the lgpedia, and how its less than ideal.

37:00 - they reveal that they don't intend to ever sue fans who use their content to make response videos!

41:30 - says audience is 70-80% female, 14 - early 30th. similar to buffy, angel, x-files. I'm not sure they use those same stats today.

44:00 - they reference the plea to fans about product integration (feb 2 phorum post shown). "you all know our financial situation" it says in the post - "which we tell them all the time" says greg. but no reference to conrad riggs here!?!?!?!? hehe.

47:00 -- the big push is up update the website! (this does predate the late july-early aug 07 relaunch)

50:20 -- mentions katharine mcphee appearance, claims that her management company called him in early july (he must mean january 2007), to try to get her to appear. "3 years ago katherine mcphee's people would have called the O.C."

52:48 -- at the end, terry approaches the podium.
