That seals it. Austin is no longer cool.

austins drunken-mentally unstable-self-important-slutty population is about to increase by 7.

how many episodes until they go to Emo's?

oh great. this means that Real World Portland is probably coming within 2 years.

― kingfish (Kingfish), Thursday, 23 December 2004 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

OH NO! Not a Real World Portland!!!

― craggy jones, Thursday, 23 December 2004 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

it is coming, i'd bet money

also, the best part of the article:

Murray also wouldn't say where the house is, and he was tightlipped on the identities of the seven strangers, though he said his casting staff did "a bit of an outreach to people returning from Iraq."

"We always look for a diverse cast," Murray told the AP. "The idea of someone who was in Iraq, well, that would certainly meet that criteria. Ultimately, we choose from people who apply...."

this should would be SO much more worthwhile if one of the emotionally unstable castmembers had:

1) total PTSD from his deployment
2) enough military training to kill all over members of the house(tech staff included) with his bare hands

-- contribute (a...), December 23rd, 2004. (link)

the khyber here in philly refused to sign B/M's taping release, which meant that shows were RW-free. of course, that did not stop them from going into glam right next door.

perhaps the owners of emo's and other music establishments will refuse to sign the release forms as well...

Doubt it. The last few years haven't been kind to Sixth Street, they could use the publicity.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 23 December 2004 23:41 (twenty-one years ago)

the same could be said for the khyber [though second street has been thriving].

They need to go to Chicken Shit Bingo night at the Long Horn, Saturday afternoon Mexican flea markets on the east side, and get late night eats at portable taco shacks off Pleasant Valley.

And yeah, Austin is a lot of thing, but cool isn't one of them.

So who in this bitch is actually from Austin?

i lived there very briefly in college. but that doesnt count.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Friday, 24 December 2004 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Lived there ten years. Got too old for it real fast. The food's good, though.

I do miss all the pretty girls, though.

five months pass...

some hot chicks in this one though. FWIW.

― leonard (tk), Thursday, 23 June 2005 02:25 (twenty years ago)

I think it's hilarious that those dudes claimed the blonde girl was "THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL EVER." I'm going to forever joke about how looking at that girl is like LOOKING AT THE SUN!

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Thursday, 23 June 2005 02:29 (twenty years ago)

The whole "dude gets the side of his skull caved in on the second day" thing is pretty fucking scary, actually. I know it's fun to hate on The Real World and all but FFS.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 June 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

you shouldnt act like a complete douchebag in texas. locals will kick your ass. i dont feel sorry for him at all.

― charleston charge (chaki), Thursday, 23 June 2005 02:39 (twenty years ago)

can someone describe what happened?

― ryan (ryan), Thursday, 23 June 2005 02:40 (twenty years ago)

http://www.mtv.com/onair/dyn/realworld-season16/series.jhtml - looks like they're already lezzing up. I forgot to TiVo it, time to set my season pass and hope they rerun the pilot soon.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 23 June 2005 02:41 (twenty years ago)

i guess they were all at a club getting wasted (check), black dude and hot peruvian girl were arguing, black dude stormed out of the club and took off to the house, other white dudes started freaking out wondering where black dude went, pushing and shoving their way out the club and onto the street, yelling and being obnoxious, locals looking to get on camera start shoving and yelling at two white dudes, the scene spills into the street, brown haired white dude falls down, gets CLOCKED by some dude standing over him, people jumping around, scene disperses, cops come, scene breaks up, dude wound up w/ a fractured face.
welcome to austin dumbass.

I bet Lacey's favorite bands are the Killers and Bloc Party

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 23 June 2005 02:45 (twenty years ago)

when they show the opening montage of the city in this show i get freaked out because "hey i've been there!" im not used to seeing places i know on tv.

― ryan (ryan), Thursday, 23 June 2005 02:46 (twenty years ago)

i can't "arrested development" for this same reason. 80% of the locations are within an 8 block radius from my house.

― 86 HAVE YOU EVER NEEDED SOMEONE SO BAD DEF LEPPARD (deangulberry), Thursday, 23 June 2005 02:47 (twenty years ago)

lacey is already striking me as the one who is all "no one here is like me, no one understands me, all they want to do is have sex with each other and i am so not into having sex, i am way more mature than these people, i am not looking to be the peacekeeper, i am gonna find other people in this town that are cool and hang out with them because these people are way too lame" and will never be around for the show and all the other cast members will resent her for being "too cool".

― leonard (tk), Thursday, 23 June 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

i always fantasize about being on this show and then just spending the whole time reading on the couch.

― ryan (ryan), Thursday, 23 June 2005 03:07 (twenty years ago)

Lacey is extremely uncool.

― Chris H. (chrisherbert), Thursday, 23 June 2005 03:43 (twenty years ago)

two months pass...

This Houston Chronicle article mentions the Real World invasion as part of the larger Problem With Austin.

http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/headline/features/3325513

This article is pretty OTM, BTW.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Sunday, 28 August 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

so austin isn't cool because MTV visited and it doesn't have enough black people. yeah, great article.

REAL WORLD AUSTIN
Episode 9:

Danny was greeted, at the airport, by a grip of grieving relatives. Through his sobbing, he kept muttering, "I wish I could have been there", "I could have done something." She had a heart attack! What is he, a fucking cardiologist? What would he have done, get drunk and try to beat up the heart attack? You see how he can't ever fit his hat all the way on his head. It's cause his skull is full of lug nuts. Back in Austin, Melinda had problems of her own. She's suffering from dick withdrawals. That's a pretty insensitive thing to complain about, when Lacy, the virgin, may never have sex, ever. Her boyfriend's in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down. Like shootin' pool with a rope, if you know what I mean. Danny was questioning coming back to Austin, after the funeral, and leaving his family. Perhaps it's a good idea he sticks around. If any fatal diseases show, he can fuck 'em up.

Okay, Planet Socks EAT YR HEART OUT.
