Following the “Real World” cast
– LoDo resident Jon has sent us another clip of “The Real World” Denver cast and crew hanging out in front of their house at 1920 Market St. It’s shorter and a bit less exciting than the one we posted yesterday, but if you want to check it out you can click on the above pic…
– Jon writes: “I walked to Illegal Pete’s tonight to grab a bite to eat and brought my video camera with me in case I ran in to the Real World filming. I got a kick out filming them last night so I thought another round may be fun. As I turned the corner on Market St., I saw a bunch of people out front of the Real World building. Of course I had to turn on the camera and get some filming! I think the crew is dealing with people with cameras differently or something now. They were once again pretty nice and seemed to simply be doing their job to block me while I was having fun trying to film. If they truly were told to act less aggressive and defensive it was certainly a good call on MTV’s part as it makes it not as fun to film. Also, there was no cop again. I wonder if the Denver police decided to no longer be at their beck and call?
I was able to film a few clips tonight but two of them suck and are basically just of a clipboard and me moving the camera around trying to avoid it and the other one deserves an explanation. I actually filmed about 4 minutes of Steve as he was walking with only a girl and no crew or anybody else was around him. The guy was so damn nice and polite that out of respect to him and the girl he was with, I think it is best that the clip goes unposted. He really handled himself very well in regards to having some annoying random guy film him while being under contract with MTV and all. I asked him if Colie was as bad as she seems but I could not get him to comment. He was good at respecting what he could and could not say without being hostile whatsoever. He told me he was just trying to go out and have dinner with his girlfriend so I decided to respect that and turn the camera off. I thanked him for being a good sport and left them alone. Many props to Steve!!
I went back to the house to see if people were still there and they were (see the above clip). It was funny because after I turned the camera off Ty said ‘hey that is the kid with the bike from last night?’. The film crew actually started to film me! I pulled my camera out again and attempted to film them filming me but I could not get it on in time. I did however hold my camera up calling their bluff and I said, ‘what are you going to film ME now? Sweet!’ They put the camera down and walked away. As I continued to walk in the opposite direction up 19th, two guys from the crew followed me for a while on scooter but split once I went down a one way street.
Anyhow, I hope you all find the clip decent. I tried to keep a steady hand this time! As you can see/hear I asked Alex if he slept with Colie but he would not answer. Maybe it was my ‘Kermit the Frog’ sounding voice I am just now realizing I have while viewing the playbacks?!?”
– It should be noted that despite what he says in the video, this blog is not paying our friend Jon to provide these clips to us…

I want to confirm that I am not being paid by anybody for filming. I was just being a wise *ss to the crew and cast, acting like it was my job as a camera man to film them.

Wow, you guys are crossing the line into creepyness with these videos. I dont know how you think this is showing us the effect a show like this has on our town. Isnt that what you said this was all about? Jon (video jon not wenzel john) is just harrassing them and effecting the show. GRD.com says mtv is manipulating the people on rw to get story….seems like thats what you guys are doing to mtv to get a story.
I think Im done visiting the site if this keeps up, its getting scary!

sara — Thanks for your comments. I think you’re forgetting here that these aren’t private citizens, it’s a TV show, and that everything Jon does is on public property. I’m not saying we should all do this (and I’m certainly not promoting any kind of harassment), but I think these cast members are fair game for anyone in the city to take pictures or video of them. They put themselves out there every day and displace people with nearly everything they do.

I think Season #20 should be in Houston Texas. Houston is a fun, vibrant filled city. It is also a first class, top of the line city and place to live.
