Keeping it Real: "The Real World" DC was a ratings disaster, but they seem to be getting back to their roots for the next installment: New Orleans. Now that's what ima talkin' about. There's still at least one DC element to this upcoming season, which debuts tomorrow night. Here's a message from Eric Patrick: "Not sure if this is worth posting on your site but a DC-based comic (talking about myself of course), is going to be on the next season of 'The Real World' on MTV. (Here's the link.) "I do a lot of comedy on the show, and am pretty sure they include being a DC comic on the bio, so if anyone is interested in watching (and doesn't mind joining the rest of the pre-teens in America on Wednesday nights) it premieres Wednesday, June 30 at 10 p.m." Open Mics We've got a couple new open mics to report: RFD in Chinatown, DC.
