Slog - Comments on From the Archives: The Real World Paparazzi Contest! http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/01/from_the_archives_the_real_world_paparaz Fulfilling the wishes of commenters on this post, here is some archival evidence of The Stranger's legendary fucking with The Real World. For those with smaller monitors, here's the fine print: The Stranger wants YOU to hit the streets and catch The Real World in action! What's in it for you? Cash and prizes! Here's how it works: Whenever you see the Real World cast and crew out in public (they LOVE hanging out at rock clubs, coffee shops, Planet Hollywood—you know, ALL the Seattle "hot spots"), videotape or photograph them doing whatever it is they do—preferably something embarassing! Then...

OR you could hold some arbitrary contest and send the winner(s) to australia with cameras with a mission to infiltrate and infuriate. that'd be pretty sweet.

steven, alternately known as "the one that might be gay," "the black one," or, ultimately, "the one that bitch slapped his castmate on t.v.," came and hung out at the sub pop offices for a bit, under the guise of "interning."

if memory serves correctly, he was an idiot.

the RW crew also was tres miffed that they were not permitted to bring a camera crew to the sub pop 10 year anniversary party, held that year at the showbox.

we did, however, grant them interviews with some of the artists that played that year (afghan whigs, tad, murder city devils, rebecca gates, godheadsilo). somewhere in the mtv archives there exists hilarious footage of greg dulli and tad absolutely raking a couple of those kids over the coals.
