Good pick up on that...could totally just be an error on their part, which isn't too hard considering there is a lot of things going on. Maybe they didn't know where this was going when they made the myspace pages. Kinda "playing it as it goes" type of deal. This could also be a clue as to Hawk knowing someone on the inside, ie his brother Rob, who never really reveals who he works for clearly...


Yeah, I'm leaning towards an error in the timeline. Just too much stuff out there and someone in their Marketing forgot about Hawk's early blog.

It is possible that Slusho may be available in specialty stores that would cater to unusual products. If you include Alias, then Slusho has been available for a while.


I -- and a lot of others here -- think it's simple enough: Rob *does* work for Slusho/Tag in the marketing department; gets free (or half-off!) Slusho samples as a perk; and his bro Hawk is just leeching free drinks and T-shirts off him.

It fits in with what they've disclosed about themselves on the MSPs already, so....yeah. Pretty sure Rob (and other stateside Slusho employees) get at least a handful of schwag from their bosses.

 		Kinda weird that slusho or tag would do business with a classical music radio station though...no? Only thing I could see fitting is that the old people in the old home loved slusho and they were gonna begin marketing to old people in NY...just doesnt work though lol

Yeah...there's VERY few classical music stations that are even commercial -- most are NPR. So picking a CLASSICAL station to advertise...???

Although it might not be Slusho that Tag is advertising in this particular case, but something else -- like say Yoshida Medical or even Tagruato itself (classical music fans are usually eco-fans, too).

 		Maybe Rob is selling Paraffun? Paraffin is a laxative, mostly old people listen to classical music... you see where I'm going with this. Or maybe he's "hawking" those paraffin wax baths for arthritic joints?

This website claims that paraffin gets used to take care of a cat, so maybe this is where the cat adoption agency comes in?

Hud came home, then Rob, and then Lilly and I went out for Chinese. Afterwards I sat on the couch and watched TV while she did something for work.


This leads me to beleive that most of the slusho seven, if not al of them, share an appartment, most probably the one in the trailer. It looks spacious enough for all of them to co-habit. Maybe one or two live somewhere else. What do you all think?[/quote]

 		^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This has been talked about before - I forget where.

I think it was decided that the most likely scenario was that Rob, Hawk, Hud & Lily all share an apartment; but that Jamie, Lena, and Beth live alone (or, at least, not w/each other). I forget what the evidence was for Beth; but, Lena refers to "your apartment" in a comment to Jamie (she would have said "the apartment" or "our apartment" if they lived together).

Also, there's been a lot of talk about whether the party is at someone's apartment (in that case, most like the Rob, Hawk, Hud, Lily apt.), or whether it's where Rob (or the dude he comes through the door with) works. There are apparently offices in Manhattan that look like that, like loft apartments converted into offices.

There's a map somewhere, I forget where -- someone had taken the time to actually draw where everybody lived.

But most likely:
*Rob,Hud,Lil and Hawk share a 3 BR apt, I think on Broadway, or close to it. (Lil & Hawk in one BR; then Hud and Rob with the other 2.)
*Marlena and Jamie share an apt nearby, but probably not in the same building -- there's just not as much Myspace interaction, I don't think, to indicate the same degree of closeness that the four above share. And the JLT videos pretty much confirm that Marlena and Jamie are roomies.
*Beth has an apartment of her own, which shows up in the movie (according to an insider report that showed up around the time of the Central Park shoot earlier this summer -- of course I trust "insiders" about as far as I can throw 'em, but a lot of people tended to believe this report, so hey.)

 		I would definitely love to see this map, this is one thing I really need a visual perspective on...But I don't know if Lily lives with the guys, she might just be their often cause of her boyfriend, but there hasn't been any clues as to her living with him...has there?

 		Weird, but may not be related
If you go to Atlas Talent Agency website (where Jamie Marlena supposedly works) www.atlastalent.com, and look at the flash that is showing headshots of what I assume are their clients, the SIXTH person to flash up in the far right square could be $11 guy/same actor... maybe? Def has a similar face and the curly hair. Not that it means anything.




EDIT: There's also something looking awfully similar to a Hoberman sphere in the background. I KNOW the site is OOG b/c it was created in 1999, but that's just plain weird. Could they be in on the game somehow?

EDIT #2: dalphx is right, marlena works there, not jamie. Embarassed

In Lil's very first comment on Hawk's blog, she writes: I hope you didn't just get a myspace account so you can send me little errands to run all day. You do realize there are 3 bodegas right on our block, right?

...so I'm guessing she either lives with Hawk and Rob and Hud in that apartment, or her apartment is on the same block. Seems like if she lived that close, though, she'd just go ahead and move in with Hawk -- neither she nor any of the other Slusho 7 seems particularly prudish, after all.
