Because my life really needed to be more surreal. Yep.

Dude. There is a BBC film crew in my HOUSE filming in my LIVING ROOM. DUDE.

...they're here doing a documentary kinda thing on poly. (It's apparently a "we showcase a different alternative lifestyle every week" sort of show. What I've seen of it is very well done). My people and I are getting our 15 minutes of fame, apparently...

...and yes, Kestrel and Lucy arranged this. It didn't quite seem real until the film crew showed up. But so far, so fun! Anyone out there in the UK, I will let you know when the thing airs. Anyone near by, we'll have a party when they send it to us, and hopefully it won't suck. ;D

...Did I mention that there is a film crew in my living room?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!

Wow. o.O

Do you get to order anyone around about your makeup? If not, you're getting a raw deal -- send 'em packing!

[summer-jackel.livejournal.com]

ha, no. Truth be told, this is kind of a candid documentary sort of thing, and since I don't wear makeup normally, I'm not wearing any on screen. Just little me, as I am. Actually, the crew is limited to 4 people, which is great since with their equipment I don't think any more would fit into our little cabin...

Sounds like it'll be educational. (I wonder if it'll play on BBC America, or youtube...)

[summer-jackel.livejournal.com]

I'll try and track it when it airs. If nothing else, I will try and make sure it ends up on Youtube so all of my friends can see it...

...assuming it dosen't suck.

[kynekh-amagire.livejournal.com]

I still want to see it, even if it sucks!

[baxil.livejournal.com]

Seconded! Even if it sucks, it'll still have you guys in it. And then we can all watch it and rant at the Beeb and gnaw furniture together. ;-)

[eclipsegryph.livejournal.com]

Yeah, what Kyn said!

[summer-jackel.livejournal.com]

OK, I will come to your household and have a showing even if it DOES suck, 'cos you two asked. We must needs chat before then. After the holidays, I gots some nice time...

[eclipsegryph.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah, man! We'll definitely clear up some time to see you... Or we should go to your place. Either way, you're awesome people to hang out with. ^_^

I felt the same way about getting interviewed by Tom Brokaw this past summer.

[summer-jackel.livejournal.com]

oh cool. What context was that?

[noahbrand.livejournal.com]

It was for a documentary about 1968. He interviewed my father about the Whole Earth Catalog, with me along as supplementary material. It aired last Sunday; I haven't seen it, but I'm told none of my footage was featured.

Soon as it goes on the tv or youtube lemme know!

[demonvaska.livejournal.com]

The name of the program wasn't Panorama was it? Please tell me it wasn't.

[summer-jackel.livejournal.com]

no, it isn't. The series is (name of alternative lifestyle here) Wives...so my installment is something like Poly Wives...and it is yet to debut; the first installment, about transvestites, airs next month, I think. Ours is maybe Feb-march. The program dosen't seem to be sensationalist yuck (which concerned me); their tranny piece was very sensitively done and I was pleased with it. But we'll see.

o.o Apparently I missed something here. Are you poly-amorous?

Re: JamesTigris

[summer-jackel.livejournal.com]

yep. Have been poly for...going on four years now? I live with my partners Kestrel and Lucy, and there are a couple of other people variously involved with us as well.

[leora.livejournal.com]

I want to see it too, whether it's good or bad.

[sophiedoph.livejournal.com]

Wow so cool!!!! OMG!! I want to see!!! :)
