I enter the gym to find two cast members of MTV's new Real World season (Brooklyn) working out on my favorite machines. Cameras are hovering around the dudes and a big fluffy boom mic is swaying over their heads. I make sure I get on the rowing machine between these two Real World punks. I'm gonna be in this fucking shot.
In 1992 when the very first Real World season started in NYC, the cast was actually cool. It was a GOOD show. Granted, I was 17 years old and trapped in high school. After watching five seconds of that show I knew I was destined to live in New York city. And that's exactly what happened. Ha!
Hence, it was kind of weird to meet these new Real World people... they must have been 3 or 4 years old when the REAL real world aired. These kids don't know what it's all about. I miss Eric, Julie, Norm, Heather, Becky, Kevin and the guy who played in the grunge band.
