Um, it has been talked about in previous pages. It's not like it was a secret.

On one hand, I see what you're saying about feeling slighted. I don't feel it personally because this isn't something I would have wanted to participate in, and for personal reasons I wouldn't have been able to anyway, but you voice a legitimate feeling.

But on the other hand, while the information has been inconsistent, they aren't blatant lies. The scene Lexi participated in was a different scene from the one with the date switch. The big theater scene is still scheduled for that second week in December, as the studio said. So it's not so much a case of knowing false info was ciruclating and not correcting it, but just not saying anything at all about new information.

And yet on another, I do have to say I'm understanding of the studio asking the locations and times not to be passed around. When Rent was filming, people finding out the locations made for chaos at times.

As others have said, this wasn't the concert scene, but a much smaller one on a city street. It would have been chaotic for a lot of people to show up. I urged Lexi to write about it here, which she was hesitant to do, because I thought it was something you all would enjoy hearing about, but unfortunately some confusion has set in.

Lexi emailed the Goyband people right after she saw the "be an extra" feature on their website, which was a while before the blog appeared on Adam's myspace. Maybe that's why she was one of those called to be in this little scene. They obviously needed a certain type for it too. She didn't mention it before the fact because she didn't want the coordinator to get swamped with requests. There's no duplicity involved.

ETA: I should also make it clear that the movie people called Lexi, after she sent them an email. They didn't put out another public request for extras that she kept secret from everyone. They can't use everyone who'd like to be an extra in every scene with extras. Updated On: 11/19/06 at 05:11 PM

Oh, thanks for clearing things up a bit, Chloe. I'm so glad Lexi got chosen! Awesome!

To answer another of matjomae's questions, it's true that some of the posters here know each other outside of the board and/or PM each other a lot. I'm kind of on the periphery of that group. I'm always in favor of posting as much publicly as possible, but when you're in the middle of a conversation, it's difficult to draw that line.

While it's inevitable that some posters should get to know each other better than others, I don't think it's a matter of there being some kind of clique. At least I'm always glad to see new people here, and don't mind being asked about anything.

I do appreciate you all taking the time to clear the situation up a bit, as I did not realize that this was completely different than what the original posts on this topic were indicating.

I will be the first to admit that I often miss large chunks of conversations on this thread, in part because I don’t always have time to read every post all that frequently but also in part because I know a lot of conservation takes place off the thread, as Chloe just mentioned, so I do apologize for jumping to conclusions.

I just, I don’t even really know what my intentions were when I posted my original thoughts on all of this, all I can offer is that something rubbed me the wrong way, and honestly still kinda does. I do know it is a lot more significant than simply getting to be an extra though. I also know by posting what I did I essentially verified every reason why Lexi was unsure to post the information in the first place...

I think this thread in particular is so much different than any other message board I post on, or have ever posted on for that matter, because it is such a small amount of posters with most likely a lot of lurkers. It is just something I will have to get used to unless I want to venture to say, Adam's livejournal, which I think I shall pass on.

I'm sorry you feel that way, matjomae. I think most of the conversation on this thread is discussed on this thread. However, I know some posters probably discuss the topics more in depth among themselves. You are always welcome to join the discussions that go on in this thread. I'm not really sure what you are getting at, and what is exactly "rubbing you the wrong way."

[luvtheEmcee]

Well, in general, just... bleh to fandom drama. I loathe that it comes with the territory.

I can understand hesitating to post about it in advance; if I were going to do something like that, I'd be afraid to say I was for fear of being inundated with people who only lurk and NEVER post hounding you to spill the information. It puts you in a really bad position. But I can also understand being rubbed the wrong way by hesitation to post something *after* the fact.

i understand what you're saying. It's easy to feel left out in this kind of situation, though I think it's safe to say that every single one of us has felt left out of something here at some point. When I first started posting I had a similar experience of realizing a lot must be going on outside the thread, and really only got involved there myself (after a year or more) because other posters took the initiative to start PMing me. I'm too shy to do that much myself.

The thread used to be a lot more freewheeling, and that's changed partly because the posters keep changing and partly because of the realization that Adam might be reading it. Some of us no longer feel free to speculate about his private life (or private parts) here the way we used to, so it goes to PMs. I also like to talk about his lyrics, but don't find many takers on the thread, and end up doing it privately. I'd love for more people to join in the conversation here myself.

Bleh to fandom drama indeed Emcee.

I knew I would regret saying anything about this in the first place, so I'm baffled at myself as to why I did...Apparently I was feeling particularly inspired and confrontational or something today while I was stealing free wi-fi at the laundry mat. I truly should have just kept quiet and surfed my online gossip blogs instead.

::shrugs:: I really do enjoy this thread and greatly appreciate that is exists as I don't really look elsewhere for Adam news and discussion. You all seem genuinely sweet and have never made me feel unwelcome, I guess what came out earlier was just some of my frustration of feeling on the fringes, which yeah is completely my fault for not jumping in more on the conversations and I am trying to change that (and as you can tell from today that it went oh so well).

Eh, I dunno. I believe in open voicing of concern. No harm done!

[Chloe]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 7:54pm

Exactly - better to clear the air.

I probably should keep quiet seeing as I am really new here myself. Someone at a recent concert pointed me in the direction of this thread because I said I wasn't too keen on IMDB or Livejournal and because it was a smaller group of more mature fans. Before deciding to post and reading for a few days, you can tell that most of the posters know each other, and to a point, I did feel alittle intimidated. The girl told me I was better off just reading and not joining in, but honestly, what's the fun in that? I hope that by posting I wasn't imposing at all.

I understand why siamese dream would have been hesitant to post about the shoot, but I probably wouldn't have e-mailed the Goyband people in the first place- so props to her for that. I don't know anyone here, but you all seem like you've been fans for a while so I'm glad someone got to go who appreciated the experience(and not a girl who would be screaming OMG ROGER I LOVE YOU!!)I saw a girl do that and basically jump on him, and he looked nearly mortified!

[Chloe]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 8:10pm

Not at all, I'm glad you decided to post. We were all in your position to begin with.

Poor Adam - I know that's happened to him more than once.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 8:16pm

I've only jumped once. Invited. I love watching "OMG ROGER!!" people, though. From afaaaar.

[sweetdisaster]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 8:28pm

I actually think I was more scared of the girl than he was. He literally appeared out of nowhere and I wasn't even planning on catching him at all that night. The girl jumping and hugging him made me even more nervous especially since I tend to become very quiet around him, and I'm not a shy person at all.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 8:38pm

I laughed out loud at that image. :) I'm pretty sure he's used to it, though.

[Chloe]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 8:47pm

Sweetdisaster, meet Emcee. She clams up around Adam too, if you didn't already know that. I don't know what it is about him - he's generally very nice to his fans as far as I know, but there's something formidable about his presence.

[picturetaker9211]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 8:56pm

I clam up around most famous people. There's just this something when I meet or see someone that's famous, I jyst feel like an "unworthy normal" person. I'm also generally shy around strangers.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 9:00pm

*virtual handshake*

I'm naturally kind of timid, but I come out of my shell fairly easily once I get comfortable -- or, at least more easily than I did when I was younger. I clam up around most people who I don't know, and I'm finally just now beginning to really sustain any kind of conversation with performers and stuff. I'm very easily intimidated and have major fears of saying something dumb. :)

Hah. No, I didn't know that about Emcee, Chloe.

I've met my fair share of famous people and I don't clam up around them, but in the handful of times I've met Adam, I generally only say about five words. I don't know why I become silent, especially since he's never been anything but completely sweet and thankful.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 9:10pm

Yeaaaah, I'm a clam. :) Well, selectively as I get older, I guess.

[sweetdisaster]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 9:18pm

Oh no, I understand that. I usually don't stagedoor or try to wait after concerts out of fear that I'll say something to embarass myself. (The last time I saw Adam my camera randomly started taking videos instead of pictures. I think the only thing I said was "I'm so sorry" over and over. I must've been bright red.)

Have you been a fan for a long time, Emcee?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 9:22pm

Six years, give or take. :) You have too, right?

[sweetdisaster]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 9:34pm

I was more or less obsessed with the Aida cast recording after I first saw the show, and then was given the Rent OBCR because Adam was on it too. That was in 2001. So yeah, about 5 years.
