| TLC's "While You Were Out" transformed edi! |
Near the end of winter, we submitted our conference room and reception area to the BBC America/TLC
show, "While You Were Out". After many, many flaming hoops to jump through, we made the final cut
and were selected for the show. On June 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 2005, the cast and crew descended on our
small company and through the chaos and disasters, we emerged with a new look. Kudos to Candi -she
carried on every bit of our day-to-day business as if there were no craziness going on, even keeping the
secret from Kevin who was on the road and CONSTANTLY calling in! This was a feat of magic in and of
itself. How she did it, I'll never know.
Cast and crew (about 20 additional people in all) took in stride the fact that we were a fully functional
office going about our business and in spite of the near impossible logistics, the demolition and
construction began. Read on and see some of the show elements.

Visit us again after the show airs on August 31st at 7:00 p.m. CST and we'll have updated photos for you to enjoy. The episode is titled, "Rousing Reception". |

Edie and Julie were the worker bees for the
renovation and worked closely with the cast and
the unsung, behind the scenes heroes: Neil, who
mysteriously knows what everyone is doing;
Liz,the glue of the show; Ryan the (shh!) sound
guy and the busy, busy cameramen; Brian, the
jack of all trades; Anne, who can do anything on
the spot; curt Kurt and last but not least - the
vision of Julian and Sara. We made many
wonderful friendships, and the experience will be
treasured for a lifetime!

St. Augustine's and edi marketing. The bells of the church made quite an impact on
the cast and crew, who weren't used to hearing them every day. Father Tom had
the same problem with the ladies at the rectory as Candi did with the girls in our
office (too many handsome TV stars on site) and he came over to carpentry world
and good-naturedly scolded the WYWO carpenters for being such a distraction!

| Cramped quarters in the old reception area. Hardly enough room for one, much less two office workers! |
Caterers everywhere! Phones and faxes down! Projects with hot buttons! Computers on the fritz!
