It looks like
Evening.
No, I'm alive. A mix of a troublesome computer and, er, dropping bombs elsewhere.
I think I've put my foot in it enough tonight so I'll leave my own report of the PA till later.
Just to say in the meantime, though, it was a great night, Aaron and Faye were just the loveliest and nice meeting those of you from here I managed to say hello to.

@HarryDJBishop Aaron is filming a programme for channel 5. They want some footage of us playing football for some reason!

do you think when aaron told people at the meet and greet that he was working on projects, but not ready to talk about them, that he expected people to try to track it down and to start posting about it everywhere?
once anything about aaron is put on the main forum, it's going to get ugly. the fact that aaron is filming is there now, so it's just a matter of time before there's a thread about it.
we don't even know what it is yet, if it's just a proposal and not even a commissioned pilot. or maybe it's a segment for the next bots.

I don't think anyone hired out Sherlock or anything. There were some pretty blatant leaks on Twitter, including one from the owner of the nightclub at which they will be DJ'ing. It was never going to stay quiet from that point.
Not sure of your angle with this though, tbh. Are you actually implying that he has done well by keeping shtum, as it allows word-of-mouth tinged with curiousity to do a lot of the promo work for him?
Edit: I noticed your edit. And I do see your point. Let the fun begin, I say.
no, not at all. and i'm not accusing anyone of trying too hard to find info, or saying they shouldn't discuss what aaron told them. i think seeing the info on the MF here or tweeted, where it can be seen more readily by haters and retweeted to others, is what i'm responding to.
i think my angle is looking at it as an expectations game, and managing expectations is part of any project. i work for a startup, so maybe my perspective is different.
but it seems as though aaron said at the meet and greet that he had a few ideas that he was working on. this filming is obviously for one of those ideas. but it's very likely not a done deal. it's probably for a proposal or, if he's lucky, for an actual pilot that c5 has agreed they're interested in seeing. but the chances of even that going ahead are slim.
so if we accept that characterization, that lots of proposals and pilots are done that don't amount to anything, then if i were in aaron's position, i wouldn't advertise it, because maybe it'll have a negative impact on some other project i'm also pursuing, or maybe i don't want to associate myself with a project that didn't work. and it certainly doesn't do him any good to have fresh threads criticizing him on forums, and it's especially bad if they're threads criticizing the project. whatever...there are a lot of good reasons people don't talk about projects when they're in the early stages.
and he obviously told his friends that it was a secret, and they screwed up, but that's less of a big deal, because fewer people would see it on some friend's twitter than on the MF here.
so that's it. based on my personal experience, i'd be bummed if a theoretical project was all of a sudden a topic open for attack.
eta: as an example, look how we ripped apart the engagement video, which really was likely to be part of a pitch for a show. if someone googles the video to see how people reacted to it? ouch.

Haha - I know, that's why I posted it
With friends like Aaron has, who needs enemies.He said a lot of them were weird with him after Bb, good ole envy.I think he needs to play his cards closer to his chest.
To be fair, in recent years the proliferation of media sites that allow instant social and visual updates to be passed around publically in quick time has made it almost impossible to keep projects for TV/film/music etc on the downlow. These days a project can barely be into pre-production before it's widely known about. More so if it includes a subject or personality with a strong following.
I don't think it does Aaron any harm at this stage if it's known he's working on projects. It shows there's real interest in him. I'd be more concerned if there was no discussion while a project was getting underway. A hum is better than slience to let you know you're not deaf.

I think Aaron is more interested in projects with Faye too

See where youre coming from and kind of concur but then I think to myself - is it really all that important that a few whispers are circulating about something kind of positive...

Yeah, this is what I was thinking too. I think that the spread of any leaks would actually help create some sort of a buzz around the show/project, even if it does get jumped on by the anti-Aaronites that still tend to lurk out there somewhere in the midst of the darkness. It's still being talked about, and I believe that this would do more good than harm tbh. Especially if it turns out to be at least decent, which I'm sure it will, hopefully.
Ohboy is right in that, on the off chance that this project goes absolutely tits up (unlikely, touch wood), there MAY be a possibility of a little harm being done to some other work he may have in the fold. However, I don't think it's THAT big an issue in this case; as far as I can tell, he doesn't appear to be on a mission to become some massive media personality, to whom something like this would be slightly more of a big deal.
Also, I think it's just completely unfair comparing whatever he has going on here with 'that' JayLoo video. You just... can't. I haven't even seen that btw, just going by 3rd party accounts is more than enough for me. I can't even bring myself to watch that shit for the laughs. I don't think this project, whatever it may be, has anywhere near the potential to invoke the sheer feeling of dread that surrounds the mere though of watching that fateful piece of footage. Seriously. It doesn't. And thank f**k.
thanks for the other perspectives. i just wouldn't want my project trashed before people even see it, which we know the bb community is more than capable of doing, especially when it involves attacking aaron. so hopefully it'll stay on the quiet side for now....
I'm sure they'll be spotted if they're out and about filming in Weston today, and it was actually the cameraman and production company who first broke the news on twitter and facebook, so I think it was unlikely to stay 'secret' for long anyway. And Aaron did say we should find out something this week.
Controversy is not necessarily a bad thing. Shows like the first one JJJ did were pretty much trashed on the MF here, but they still landed a series. I think viewing figures probably influence these decisions more than what a few people say on a forum tbh.

Think you are right. I hope whatever Aaron does it is a success. I would think the program would cover his football, housewarming etc. Somehow I don't think his son will feature much if at all. I just hope it isn't on a Sky channel as I only have Freeview.

I think part of going to a PA is reporting back.Aaron said what he wanted us to report back otherwise he wouldnt have said.He also didnt reveal much.It is his so called friends that are babbling and the more it gets talked about the better anyway.

Projects benefit from being talked about even if negatively,it is all publicity.
It creates awareness for viewing.

Not really,he said they will do things together and apart.
Faye may have her own stuff coming up.

He actually repeated it on Saturday.

Agreed - it's not as if one of us there on Saturday has come back and "blabbed" anything really - it's been his mate and the production company who have reported what is happening.
I certainly dont have a problem with Aaron (and Faye for that matter) being a bit coy with what they have planned, only for it to be revealed elsewhere a couple of days later.
I'm just glad they are doing something
