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.

Berg turned in quite the performance as “Himself/Crotchety Neighbor” on NBC Washington this afternoon and he was, surprisingly, not in handcuffs. The station walked away with fascinating footage of Berg squinting into the sun and what appears to be performing “YMCA” on the street corner? I don’t know. That Berg is a maverick. He’s capable of anything!

And, truly, Berg showed his versatility as there were not one, not two, but three shots of him playing with his iPhone. Amazing job, Berg. Bold, really.

Catch friend of the blog, Chris Wiggins, in the piece as well.

This past weekend, ARWDC’s own Berg did an interview with Randy Gyllenhaal, reporter for Palestra.net, a FOX News company… and no relation (that we know of) to Jake Gyllenhaal.

While we would have preferred not to be followed up by the RWDC equivalent of “Spencer” – a self-proclaimed “stalkerazzi” who has also tweeted that she told Hot 99.5’s @kaneshow that she’d “… get nekked in the hot tub!!” – it’s a solid piece that might help explain a little more about what neighbors are dealing with, and also why we’re here.

While we would have described Berg as “resident anti-douchebag and current Berg,” we wanted to h/t to WaPo’s Reliable Source for quoting one of our own:

“I’m not a curmudgeony 28-year-old,” he told us. “I just don’t really feel like living next to a dorm.”

Word.

Like the Reliable Source, the steady stream of gawkers outside the house last night really seem to want the new cast to DOSOMETHINGALREADY. The contributors of this blog, however, were busy getting our drink on in a bar far away from Real World cast members.
