My home is going to be on TV!

Beckiboo: Yeah, I had no idea where they filmed, but they say they film all over, and are in Chicago from time to time. Who knew?

Katie: I hope it looks good too! It looked great on the monitor, but things can look totally different on video.

Ryan: It was quite a day! Your job? To find a friend who does have cable so they can tape it for you. What I don't know is whether HGTV is just in the states? I hope you all have it!

Chris: Yes, fear of public ridicule is a great motivator! My place is normally very clean, but it had gotten away from me in the last couple of months with all the construction, and the room where the foster kitties are I normally store stuff in, so that was all scattered around my living space (I didn't think paint cans, tools, chemicals, etc. would be appropriate playthings for the kits...I'm funny that way). I'm so glad it's done, though. It has freed up my time and my brain! After the crew left, I kept feeling like I "should be doing something", but there wasn't anything left to do...the first time I've felt that free in awhile.

Sooz: The prospective buyers and the realtor are real. The place they bought was real. In this case, the other two "choices" were not. I don't know if that's always the case. I'm sure the place they bought is waaaay nicer than mine! Not that my place is a hovel or anything, but still.

Lacey: I can't wait either! When I find out, I'll definitely let everyone know!

xocats: My place was never for sale...sshhh...don't tell anyone!

Rigel: Thanks! I'm definitely going to be taping it! Do you get HGTV in Mexico?

Lois: I sure will!

Thanks everyone for being excited with me!

You're place was never for sale? Another reality show debunked.
Do you have an air date yet. I don't want to miss it.

Well, I'm not sure if that's what they do all the time or not. I don't know if something happened, or they just weren't able to show other places. I would think it would be very difficult to get permission to film...it's very time consuming, your stuff gets moved around. Maybe none of the places they were looking at would let them film?

Well, this thread is nine months old now, and I finally found out the air dates:

March 9 10pm ET/PT

March 10 2am ET/PT

March 12 7:30pm ET/PT

If anyone decides to watch, my place will be the one that is painted lots of different colors: purple living room, deep red dining room, chartreuse kitchen with a Hawaiian theme. In short, it's the place they'll probably laugh at!

Good for you!!! I don't have cable TV so I can't watch it though!!

Oh thanks for letting us know! What is the name of the show again? I'll definitely be checking in!

Did I forget that part? Oops! The name of the show is House Hunters, and it's on Home & Garden Television (HGTV).

Gail, you don't have cable? Really? Wow. I think I assume that 'most everyone does. Good for you for not sharing my weakness!

Cool! I watch that show quite often, so I'll defintely be watching for your episode!

Awesome, I'll definitely keep an eye out for it!
Also- I saw some pictures a while back of a few kittens that you had taken--but I can't remember if I told you about it (D'oh!). They were in the window of a cleaning service in Lincoln Park- on Sheffield just north of Diversey. It's near my favorite bar

Thanks for letting us know about the dates and times.

I've seen that show a couple times. Can't wait to see your house!!!!!!
This is really exciting!

I love that show!!

I actually have HGTV on right now! I'm really excited to see your house!

Thanks! I'm kind of getting excited about it. They filmed so long ago that it sort of "fell off my radar".

Yep! I post pictures there quite often. The owner does a lot of rescues. In fact, she was one of the two people who trapped Beau, the feral boy who I had for several months, and is now adopted. I also have made up many flyers for her other rescues, and for various other people. Pretty soon I'll have one for JinJin. I was going to post her on PAWS, but they've changed their policy, and won't allow outside rescues to be posted.

So as to the bar...is it Pops for Champagne?

Thanks Patty! My house is certainly not to everyone's taste, though. I use really strong colors. People either love it or hate it.

Great! I must confess, I hadn't even heard of the show before. I've only caught a couple of episodes since then.

Close! We actually prefer to go to StarBar, the sister bar nextdoor to Pops. More casual atmosphere. But, you almost nailed it! Also, Panes Bread Cafe near there has yummy sandwiches, if you're ever in that neighborhood and in need of lunch!

It's hard for me to be around there without going to Pompeii's. I'm completely addicted to the Marie's Special Salad!

Mmmm...Pompeii is good too! I forgot there was one right there! I'm TIVOing the show w/ your apartment on it! If you can make it to the Chicago gathering I can burn you a DVD of it if you'd like (we're high tech over here!)

That is very exciting!!!!
