Another week, another episode, another podcast, another CHAT!
Last week was another successful chat during the midway point episode of The Real World DC, so we're back for more tomorrow night!
As promised, Callie will be joining us! As always, others may be stopping in as well!
Set your alarms, calendars, etc to 9:45 PM EST tomorrow night! The first 25 will get free reins for chatting!
ALSO! If anyone would like to advertise during our chat or on our podcast this week, we have finally made it possible! I'm cheap, so if you're interested, let's talk business!
I'm sorry we had to disappoint you last week with the lack of a new podcast, but there were some issues we had to try and overcome. Luckily, we made it happen this week!
As you know, Callie took quite the emotional beat down in last week's episode but managed to get through it with the help of not only her roommates at the time, but Twitter followers now! Then, she helped Andrew get his dream snuggle buddy for a week or two on this week's episode.
Basically, it made sense that we call her for our second episode of The Real World DC: As We Saw It. Plus... I owe her a major apology after this summer.
Listen to the channel below, and make sure to subscribe via iTunes! Also: There's a bonus podcast of our outtakes before we actually talked to the blonde bombshell.
Also: Thanks to all who emailed in! Keep the questions coming! They're definitely helpful and entertaining! Email--> RWDC.AsWeSawIt[at]gmail[dot]com!!
Holy moly, the day has come and gone... Can you believe it?! Not I, that's for sure.
In case you've been hiding in a cave or boycotting me for the past couple months, the day was December 30th- The premiere of MTV's The Real World: DC. [Again, if you've just come back to life, you should catch up. Pronto.]
My friend and fellow RWDC guru Chris and I organized and co-hosted THE premiere event along with Metromix DC. [I guess it's technically not "official" since MTV didn't sponsor it... But it was certainly the one to be at!]
Before we move on and talk details, it may be easier to see it via video. I think this calls for the finale of eTV's Finding the Real World DC Cast. [You didn't really think I'd end with a failure, did you?!] It's in two parts because there was just so much goodness, so make sure to watch them both! You'll see just how it all went down!
Honestly, I keep wanting to just say the night was absolutely unreal, but I guess that wouldn't be correct. It was very "Real." It was also amazing, incredible, fun... The list goes on.
Watching the first episode with the cast was great. It was exciting to see their faces and reactions [even though they've seen it before], and even ask on the spot questions about it all. [For example, "Emily, did you really believe everything Andrew was saying?!" The answer: Yes. Why wouldn't I?!]
I also loved watching it with so many DC fans. That may have been one of my favorite parts, actually. Hearing y'all scream with excitement, laugh, yell at Ty for the religion fight... It was refreshing to see [for both myself and the cast, I think] that DC did appreciate them being here, and will absolutely make this a top rated show. YAY!
I think the eTV finale really shows all that needs to be shown when it comes to the events. Now I just want to take the time to say thank you, SO much, to everyone who came out. Chris and I knew this could be an incredible event for everyone to remember, but just like any party, you can't ever predict the outcome. We appreciate each and every one of you for following us through this journey and being there for the end of one chapter, and the beginning of another when it comes to RWDC.
Also, of course, I need to thank Ashley, Callie, Emily, Mike and Ty. Having you guys there made the night and I can't thank you enough for coming out! It was great to finally hang out, sans cameras, and get to know each other! Every one of you is great, hilarious, crazy, and interesting... And incredibly patient for dealing with my annoying ass all summer. So again, thank you for everything, friends! ;)
One final thank you: To all the media/news/photography people who came out! You obviously had a huge part in the success as well! [And though I'm a little upset Patrick from Metblogs was in my seat during the tequila shot, I'm glad he came!]
Now, if you'd like to see even more, here are some pictures that I took throughout the night:
And these fantabulous pictures are thanks to Metromix and Alfredo Flores:
Like I've said before, this isn't the end the elizabethany-RWDC connection. I will be posting podcasts once a week called "The Real World DC, As We Saw It" right here on love, elizabethany. We'll [myself along with Chris and other various people involved, including the roommates] be taking a look at the episodes and talking more about what really happened here in DC.
Again, thanks to everyone involved with the premiere! It was a major SUCCESS! *HIGH FIVE, CHRIS!*
love, elizabethany
PS: If you want to watch the entire first episode, you're welcome. [Thanks MTV ;)]
It's been a little while since I've given a real update on the world of MTV's The Real World: Washington, DC and well, I feel bad about it.
First of all- It's thanks to RWDC that I've gotten so many of you "new" readers to this site, and I couldn't be more appreciative. So.. Thank you! Thanks for checking it out an coming back for more! You da best!
Second- Tonight marks the airing of the first commercial for the season!!!! According to Ashley, it's a 2-minute long commercial happening right after tonight's "The City!" So, set your alarms, DVRs, whatever you have to remind you to watch tonight at 11:00!
Finally- A catch up. It's been over a month since the roomies moved out of DC [Can you believe it?!] and they're all settled back into their homes across the nation. [As far as I can tell, anyway.]
Andrew and Josh are still happily in relationships, the girls and Mike are enjoying life back at home, Josh is still practicing with his band Wicked Liquid, and Ty is successfully hiding from me and the world. [Again, as far as I can tell for myself...] And oh yeah... Erika's hair isn't red anymore. [I totally loved it red, for the record. She pulled it off well!]
Also- it came to my attention that Andrew used to draw cartoons for his school's paper, The Rocky Mountain Collegian! They're absolutely hilarious and totally controversial, just the way we like them!
There are SO many of these, and I wish I could share them all.. But instead, click here, read them, and all of the hate letters his newspaper got for publishing them. [THAT'S how you know you're good, don't forget!]
We did get some videos of inside the house. [By we, I of course mean the Internet. Production continued to hate me, so no... I never made it in. Totally lame.] Here they are, from a variety of people:
From Vox Populi [I love that Ty says Twitter made it better... Ya damn right! ;) And their answers for the camera/production crew- Probably a little scripted... I think they had some involvement... We hear that may have been extra involvement, if ya get what I'm sayin'.]
There's this article from the Georgetown Voice that talks about them being here, us bloggers, and the hate that Executive Producer Jim Johnston has for us. [I really just wish I could sit and talk to him like I have in my dreams a couple times... I'd explain everything!]
Other than that, my extra episodes, and waiting for tonight's commercial, we're now just looking forward to December 30th- the premiere date! Mark your calendars because Metromix and I will be at Blackfinn for a viewing party for all you RWDC fans! It's going to be a GREAT time, and I want to see all of you there, so make sure you RSVP!!
Countdown: 37 days!!! [I can't even imagine how excited the roommates are considering my excitement!]
Another week, another episode, another podcast, another CHAT!
