Real World DC Watch: The Map

View Real World Watch: Where Are the Members of Real World DC Hanging Out? in a larger map

MTV’s Real World is moving to our city. It’s inevitable. So why not have some fun with the situation?

Therefore: we present our Real World DC Watch Map.

That’s right, following the tradition of Gawker Stalker and Gossip Girl, we’ve created a map that will document the whereabouts and shenanigans of Washington’s newest residents. We want you, reader, to send us tips reporting on your candid encounter(s) with MTV’s latest batch of twentysomethings.

Saw them in line at Ben’s Chili Bowl? Causing a scene at Lauriol Plaza? Throwing up near Adams Morgan? Let us know by sending your tips to realworld@washingtonian.com, or by using #rwwatch on Twitter.

Filming supposedly starts June 20, so keep your eyes peeled. Send your Real World DC sightings to realworld@washingtonian.com and we’ll post them on our map above (as well as keep a static list here for your reference purposes).

What happens when people stop being polite, and start reporting Real World sightings to the internet everywhere the cast goes? We’ll find out!

>>The cast is long gone, but if you need a Real World:DC fix, check out our weekly recaps of the show.

UPDATE (07/09): The organizer of the charity event at Clarendon Grill has confirmed that Josh and Andrew were there last night. "They donated money to the cause. It turns out officers killed in the line of duty is an important issue to Josh, so he stopped by for a couple of hours and just hung out.

ter's in White Flint Mall last night? Or is this another fake sighting? If you saw them too, let us know!

UPDATE: From tipster Laura: "met 3 of the real world'ers outside their house as we were checking it out. all very very skinny and tan." They are here! Wonder how long before this girl gets herself inside the house. 

UPDATE: Have the housemates moved in yet? Word from a tipster:"Some colleagues and I were walking south on Conn Ave (north of dupont circle, right by Tomate) for lunch today and saw an obvious cast member. She was walking with a cameraman and a sound guy and stopping randomly in front of stores. She stuck out a lot since she has long blonde hair and was wearing a bright, short dress and heels. Looks like she belongs in L.A., not in Dupont Circle at lunchtime. How bizarre." Did anyone else spot this blonde? Or is this another false alarm? Let us know!  

UPDATE: According to RealWorldDCNEWZ, cast members will be working out at the Washington Sports Club on Connecticut Ave., NW.

UPDATE: According to another tipster, crew members are still being hired and the actual shooting of the show may not start until early July. Will the real Real Word cast members please stand up?
