I am going to be on the tele in the UK!

I checked my email this evening and found an email from someone who works for a division of the BBC. I first thought it was complete bullshit but it checks out. I googled some of the names listed and phone numbers. I even called one of the names but got a voice mail, I guess because everyone is sleeping. Turns out someone over there in UK likes my You Tube channel and is interested in having me on a British reality show similar to Big Brother! They are looking for an American to be part of the group and they had "quite a laugh" of my portrayal of a typical New Jersey resident. I think they are looking to chip in on some of Jersey Shore hype with me. There is a catch though, it isn't just like Big Brother. It's similar to Big Brother but each person in the house has a "unique interest". So that has got me kind of worried. The email didn't explain too much exactly about the show other than that. They found out I work in NYC and would like me to stop by one of their offices which is only a few blocks from where I work. I am going to give them a call tomorrow morning and figure this all out. There is some bad news though. They gave me some dates of when they would need me. One of the dates is filming at Elstree Studios in UK starting June 24 through the end of July which means I would totally miss Anthrocon. The other big question is do I actually want my face on public television. I dunno, this is pretty scary and exciting at the same time.
FA+

that is hilarious
Damn you!!!
I just hope they don't take advantage of you because you're a furry.
Weren't the last few people on TV in suit like shunned by the fandom....the whole Tyra Banks thing and My Strange Addiction and junk.....yeah, I think one of those guys was murdered by Uncle Kage...
You can not ditch your gf during AC
If it really is genuine and you have no shame, it could be a real investment! Don’t just think about the program.
I can’t help but feel that they didn’t realise that the fursuites are just an everyday thing for you.
Also, about your video…
I thought for a minute your intro was going to start saying the lyrics to The chicken Song! XD
I'd say: inquire deeply, then say yes only if you're absolutely sure of what will happen. And don't forget the whole Internet will be watching you too.
Also, how interesting, you posted this journal 11 minutes after midnight. I smell April fool, anyone?
*facepalm*
Anyway, awesome job man, good luck in Britian with the show for you would be ummmmm, hello, WINNING!
...wait a minute...
April 1st... x.x
If this is real its a big thing. Can you stand up and represent furries? This kind of thing didn't go so well for the last couple people. Just be yourself I guess. Good luck
I'd hate to miss you at my first time at a con at AC this year, but sounds like fun!
Whatever makes ya happy ;D
