Hello!! First off, sorry for the four day gap between posts. It just so happens that we have jobs and lives. Real lives, I might add.
Last Friday, ARWDC contributor and District resident Berg was interviewed by Washingtonian Magazine alongside another blogger who hails from über-hip Woodbridge, VA.
Despite being “anti-Real World”, I think that the contributors of this blog have more than proven that they know the real DC better than our competition. I think Berg gave a compelling answer as to why the RWDC house should have been on C St. SE. After all, our city is a congessional fiefdom and what better place to experience the real DC than to live amongst the fiefs themselves? Snark aside, we have been consistently pointing out issues of real importance, such as non-profits doing good things for the community, community outreach, and how to stand up for your constitutional rights.
Bottom line, we report on real issues. We were against the Real World being in DC, and have no desire to stalk the cast members and get on camera. I was at Halo last Sunday after filming had ended, and some of the cast members were still there. I did not, nor had any desire to talk to them. I just went about my business. That’s what living in the real world is all about.

LOLZ @ WOODBRIDGE!!!!!!
WOW! That was worth the 4 day wait. Next time just post random letters and numbers…it will be more interesting.
I totally respect your decision not to approach or engage with the Real World cast members. Which is a good way to segue into my disappointment when ARWDC met the RW girl at Big Hunt and pussied out (I really wish I could think of a better way to put that) when asked why DC didn’t want them here. What a perfect chance to explain the pride we have in our city and how it gets exploited by the media enough and we don’t need a bunch of uppity, privileged 20-somethings running around crowding our already crowded bars and turning the cool part of DC into a circus. I don’t know you guys, and I love what you are doing, but I guess I was just… disappointed. Keep up the good work, I guess. I am still not sure if ignoring the whole thing is the best way to make them go away, since all publicity is good publicity. But I guess if there is a voice out there for evil, I’m glad you all are the voice of good.
Thanks.
From her name to her answers in that interview, I struggle to believe Elizabethany Ploger is a real person and not a J.K. Rowling character.
get a fucking life
You guys are hating on the Real World, yet giving them tons of publicity and acting like star-struck teenagers snapping photographs of them at every possible chance as though they were Miley Cyrus. This blog makes no sense.
And I hate the Real World, too, BTW.
This blog is so high school. It’s like you’re afraid to be mean to the popular kids to their faces but whisper nasty things about them behind their backs and still simper when they ask you to sit with them at lunch. Kind of two-faced, petty, and catty.
To Berg- why in God’s green Earth do you admire Republicans (your blonde friend who is so “impressive” because she can keep up with two vodka sodas) and yet call yourself a Democrat? Are you just self-hating? It’s kinda looking that way.
This city can be soul-crushing in its cynicism, and you have obviously fallen into that ditch. You seem like the embodiment of the DC Asshole that I fear of becoming if I live here too long.
And PS- you are the definition of a bottom feeder. You know this.
Berg,
BTW, Judd Winick is currently a writer for DC Comics. He’s written Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Detective Comics, etc.
Yeah, this blog’s underlying premise is pretty weak, and getting weaker all the time. Great to see a guy who lives in one of the city’s most expensive, exclusive neighborhoods make fun of Woodbridge.
@Amy – When did I say I admired Republicans? Gonna have to find the quote for me on that one because I wouldn’t say that even if hell froze over.
@wow Defending Woodbridge and attacking Dupont. Brava. Brava.
@Nota Fan well played.
