The crew together…

This was taken from my living room window as the camera crew filmed all seven cast members walking down the street (probably for a promo) walking into the house.

Gotta be honest – Ricardo/Bret Michaels is not only rocking an amazing bandana headband but also the classic sleeveless denim jacket.

You know what they say: Suns out, Guns out!

And So Begins the Tour Bus

Despite what the Fenty Administration’s Andrew Huff promised, tour busses are coming down S street to gawk at the Real World DC house.

UPDATE: This is the Real World DC’s tour bus for the night. They also got a free pass from the Fenty Admin. to have a chartered bus on a residential street…which, again, the Fenty Admin. said would not happen.

While I am sure Spencer and Heidi are riding these everyday, tour busses don’t make local property owners/renters and small business owners happy because they ruin residential streets and cause noise pollution.

But hey…anything for a buck.

Real Worlder for Congress?

Don’t worry Real Worlders, your relevance doesn’t have to end when the final episode airs. You could do anything with the fame and fortune that being a pop culture icon brings you! While the high status of the ShamWow guy is not beyond your reach, why stop there? Why not try to come back to DC as…I dunno…a member of congress?

That’s exactly what former Real World: Boston cast member and current Ashland County District Attorney, Sean Duffy (no relation to the ARWDC ally and all-around good guy of the same name) is doing in Wisconin against House Appropriations Chairman, Congressman Dave Obey. Here’s a little bit from the article that seems to capture the incredible substance and depth behind Duffy’s candidacy:

“Duffy is active with the Republican Party of Wisconsin, but he is perhaps best known as a former cast member on the MTV reality show “The Real World: Boston” in 1997. His conservative political views were a source of friction on the show with some of his more liberal housemates.” – Wausau Daily Herald, 7/2/09

Duffy is actually married to another former Real World cast member so it appears as if the recipe for post-reality TV relevance seems to lie in keeping with your own kind (other reality TV stars) and moving to Wisconsin to become a Conservative Republican. Obviously, scientific evidence would probably support the notion that Duffy’s offspring are likely to eventually follow in daddy’s footsteps and become Real Worlders.

(Hat tip on this on to WAOW-TV’s Katie Rosenberg for the intel on this one!)

When the lights go down in DC

The lights remain on in the Real World house. All of them.

Here is a shot of the MTV Real World DC house I took from my living
room. Hopefully this serves as proof to those who doubted my
proximity to these tools.

It begins…

The MTV Real World DC house is located at 2000 S Street, NW.

I live at 1933 S Street, NW.

I can see them from my kitchen and will be bumping into lights when I step outside starting June 20th.

May g-d have mercy on their souls.
