Hmmm.. I just got an interview request from NBC news. Really? I'm not sure I'm trying to bask in this spotlight that others are eager to take over. Hmmm.
[quote=wiggyndc;100586]In other news: Does anybody think it's possible we have Callie's name wrong? I have reason to believe her name might actually be Hallie.[/quote]
I'm pretty sure her name is Callie, that's what it sounds like to me.
[B]The Real World DC Meets Twitter[/B]
That's the "tease" that NBC News Washington has been using for the last half hour in their 5pm newscast. The story should air in the next several minutes and will be available online at [url=http://www.nbcwashington.com]NBC Washington[/url] by 7 or 8pm.
I did the interview as well as my friend Adam Rosenberg who writes for [url=http://www.antirealworld.com]Anti-Real World DC[/url].
Here are some "behind the scenes" photos of my interview at the Real World house earlier this afternoon.
Oh and by the way, I also spoke to Joshuah Colon after the interview - he's totally cool.

[B]Lame Alert[/B]:
I know I really shouldn't allow myself to stoop down to this level; but, I admit that I am doing so now. For somebody who really doesn't care at all about what we here at Vevmo or what I do, I sure see a whole lot of *****ing. And a whole lot of personal attacking.
I guess it's time to release the public records for some of these people since BMP has already been made aware of a certain situation they have on hand. I mean, I can get very personal if necessary.
ollignom : @luvelizabethany did you just see his lame attempt of hurting us? boo hoo im cying ****!!!

Thanks! FYI: If you lookup harriswalker, ollig..., and luv.... on [url=http://www.twitscoop.com]Twitscoop - Stay on top of twitter! - Search twitter, twitter client, hot trends[/url] you'll see that their Wiggy slander session is intensifying exponentially. I mean really??? REALLLY??
[QUOTE=Seannnn;100781]Can somebody explain in 20 words *** is going on? Are poeple ruining the season?[/QUOTE]
No one is ruining the season. Just a little interweb rivalry.
[SIZE="4"][B]Alright, time to move on and get back to the show...[/B][/SIZE]
For the record... Somebody claimed I got this information from Spencer... Date stamp and image clearly uploaded to my Facebook group a while ago.

Yeah, back to the show.
What I thought was interesting today is that a cast member actually spoke to the NBC reporter on camera. Is that usually allowable?

I would say no, but I don't know for sure. It's not like he was giving anything away, he just said something generic.
Of course, this has never happened before, so they're taking everything as it comes.
I wonder if as much effort is going to be put into future seasons as well.
I honestly think this is a bad sign of things to come for future seasons for BMP, especially because of twitter. I think its great press for the show, but nothing will be as secretive as it used to be. Everything will be a google search away.

There [I]was twitter[/I] in January when Cancun was filming. The difference now is that the show is in [B]Washington, DC.[/B]
The District is a different kind of place and once they move on to a more standard environ things will go back to normal. Cancun had ZERO coverage. New York is the biggest media market in the US and there was only a blog here and a sighting there over the course of production. In LA there was even less coverage, because filming a reality show is not something new for that area or something that the natives get particularly excited about...
Don't worry, next season it will be in Vancouver[SIZE="1"]*[/SIZE] for the Olympics (you heard it here first) and everyone will go back to not caring. Well, except for us!
[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Silver"]*Vancouver is a wild, uneducated guess just to get your attention.[/COLOR][/SIZE]
[B]Notice[/B]
In an effort to move on, and to clear the cyber air, I just had a phone conversation with ollignom at his request. He apologized for all the personal attacks that occurred from his end as a result of my exposure in the Washington Post Express and on NBC 4 today. The two of us have decided that indeed this entire tit-for-tat that originated as part of last week's sourcing issue, has reached a level of ridiculous short of kindergarten behavior. And so while he cannot speak for anybody other than himself let it be known that he and I are "cool". As such, I hope that the DC blogosphere will return to a level of decorum befitting of the educated adults and new media agents that we are.
I put forth the idea that perhaps all of the DC bloggers, tweeters, etc., who have now become the "reporters" of this new age of reality TV find a time to all go out for drinks. After all, this is supposed to be entertainment.
-The End
I agree with this and I hope everyone can see that childish behavior is not the way to go. I on my own, am guilty of some. That is all behind us now so lets continue to RWDC hunt! There is always more info and I will try to do my part. Thank You Wiggy for having that talk. I hope that all of the bloggers can have drinks or dinner together sometime?

Sorry! You were not the only one. I need to be more careful in this twitter world. In the old days (6 months ago) the next post down would be, "NO WAYZ TEH VANCOVERS?" and the post after that would be, "You missed the fine print." -- [I]and all would be good.
[/I]
But, everything moves at light speed these days. I've learned my lesson. :D
Hope you all like it!
