Visitors Say ‘Hi!’
“When I was in Austin this weekend (4/22-4/25) for a volleyball tournament my team and I were standing across from their current house when 5 of them turned around the corner with their camera crew behind them who taped them as they went inside their house. I said ‘Hey’ to them and they turned around and took a picture of us! There were 24 of us and we wanna see the pic!” - SW
Making New Friends …
“I have had a run-in on several occasions with ‘Rachael.’ She likes one of the door guys at Spill whom I know and she has run up to me on several occasions hugging me like she knows me. It is really annoying when you are trying to have drinks and fun with your friends because when she comes up to me so do all he cameras and then you have to sign the waiver.” — A.P.
Blast From The Past?
Saw David from “Real World: Seattle” at Gold’s Gym Friday afternoon (Apr. 15). Maybe he’s in town to do something with the current cast? - S.R.
Be Nice, Austin …
“I saw the kids on the drag the other day outside of Urban Outfitters. As they passed me I informed one that ‘The Real World sucks,’ to which he responded with ‘Your mom sucks.’ Thanks!
“Spill on Sixth seems to be a fave hang out. i’ve run into them a few times there.”
-S.P.
At the Gym …
“I first saw them when I was in a spin class with three of the ladies - one was the alternative one, one was the multicultural one, and the other was a VERY cute blonde. I saw three of the guys a few days later lifting weights. Nothing special. They all looked like typical ‘Real World’ jock types.
“As someone else pointed out, the vast majority of the time they are filmed must be very boring.” - A.L.
Treasure Island, Pt. II
“Three of the boys from ‘The Real World’ were at Treasure Island last Sunday night (2/13). One of them looked like Ace from ‘Real World: Paris,’ really cute and wearing a baseball cap. One looked like Abram from ‘Road Rules’ except not as cute, and he was WASTED. The third guy was the only one who looked like an original castmember; he had cornrows and a sweatband around his head. He was also carrying around some promotional T-shirts that someone probably gave him for free, and the bartenders seemed to be buying him shots and drinks, too. Each of them was surrounded by two or three beautiful girls, dancing with them trying to get on TV. Their camera crew was very small: Only one camera man, one lightperson, and one soundman.
“After watching the whole scene for awhile, you realize that 98 percent of what they film must be horribly boring to watch.” — S.L.
Phone Tip …
From the “Even More Unconfirmed Than Usual” Dept.: An anonymous tipster phoned and told us rumor is that as part of their “job” this season, the “Real World” bunch would be shooting a documentary on a SXSW band of their choice. Thanks MTV, just what Austin needs: Another documentary crew crawling the streets. It’s sure much more needed than, say, a new playground for underprivileged kids (such as the one “Real World: Philadelphia” constructed during their internships with Philly’s Arena Football team). More as we get it. — Matt Thompson, A360
Probable Sighting
“I too saw the new cast of the real world walking around on Congress last weekend. Although, it’s hard to be sure since Austin is such a hot filming city these days.” — C.T.
At Spill
“I have several friends who own or manage bars on Sixth Street, so I visit them frequently and have seen the crew out many times. My friends and I were at Spill one night a few weeks ago and they were getting pretty crazy — the girls kissing each other and such.” —C.S.
Sushi Stop
“Unfortunately I didn’t think of snapping a pic with my phone, but I was at dinner at Kenichi and two folks sat at the table next to me. A film crew stood right next to me with their big camera and bright light. I think maybe the girl is on ‘The Real World’ but the guy may not be. He was goofy looking with a backwards white hat that he did not take off. The girl was talking loudly, giving the guy a sushi lesson. She said, in a valley girl voice, ‘Sashimi is like really raw fish’ then showed him how to do a sake bomb.” —A.C.
