Reader Cara sent in this description of the Real World DC casts’ trip to the D.C. United game yesterday:
Saw the Real worlders at the DC United game yesterday- they were in the barra brava section, kind of on the outskirts, but with full camera coverage. Tons of people kept talking to them (myself included, I’m a sucker for ‘famous’ people)…they couldn’t say they were on the real world, they kept saying it was a documentary on soccer, but it was definitely the real world. Anyway, they were really young (and surprisingly short). The one guy (bandana-man) was approached by a fellow bandana-wearer from the crowd and was like “Hey man, what’s your background?”, to which Bandana Man responded, “Puerto Rican and Italian” and pulls out some symbolic tattoo. Bandana-man 2.0 was like, “I’m Puerto Rican and Sicilian actually” and Bandana Man FREAKED and was like ME TOOOOO and they both started comparing tattoos and talking excitedly. When I saw them at the end of the game, nearly an hour later, the Bandana Men were still hanging out and man-bonding… but anyway in total they seemed like really friendly but reeeeally lame.
I love it. Two BFFs in the making, brought together by their bandanas and bad-ass tats. Excellent.
@RealWorldDCNEWZ and others reported they were at the game as well, and below are some of the pictures that people tweeted, in case you’d like a look:

Awwww I can’t lie, am reevaluating my general silent judging of Rico Suave. He’s a multi like me! I’ve had that same convo (different heritage) with others. So cute!Bandana bromances, ftw.
Also: did they conpare neck tats?

DCist covered this as well- there are some in-your-face because-you-suck pictures to enjoy
At a soccer game … whateve. Got into a heated argument with one of the girls in the cast over the U.S. national team. She was talking smack about the U.S. team being horrible and how she only roots for Brazil. This is all despite the U.S. kicking ass recently by beating the Eurocup champion and 22 game undefeated national team from Spain 2-0 and losing 3-2 against Brazil after dominating the first half of the game 2-0. Trash talker. I guess she’s the type that likes to wear a Cowboys jersy for fun at FedEx.
Actually they both went to the same high school in philly. One is on RWDC, one is a Purple Heart winner in Iraq.
That is awesome
without a doubt that is the coolest thing about DC. Sure, its transient, but often you run in to people from way back, by accident.
