“Real World: Denver” launch parties galore

“Real World: Denver” launch parties galore
by John Wenzel on November 8, 2006

– As we told you last week, the Mile High City is gearing up for the Nov. 22nd launch of “The Real World: Denver” with a spate of viewing parties. Besides LoDo Bar & Grille’s premiere party, which will feature cast member Tyrie hanging out with the crowd, Vinyl will host a massive party that launches both “The Real World: Denver” and Carmello Anthony’s new shoe line in the same evening…

– The Nov. 24th event, technically about two days after the show premieres, promises to be much more insane than the relatively calm launch party back in June and the Reality TV Junky Party on Aug. 25th. Besides hosting Denver cast members Stephen, Brooke and Alex, a number of pro-sports heavies from the Broncos, Nuggets and Avalanche are expected to show up. It is because the party is officially condoned by MTV? Perhaps…

– If you want to wade through the cheap perfume and fake tans/boobs, get your tickets here and, I’d suggest, soon because this event will most definitely sell out. (Jeez… I sound like a PR rep for this thing, right? Too bad it’s partly sponsored by our competitor, the Rocky Mountain News, which has so far done a pretty weak job of covering “The Real World.”)

– Regular-priced tickets are $20 and a $40 VIP pass apparently gets you a “Meet & Greet, VIP laminant” and “Skip the Line pass.” Does that mean you can also skip the line to the bathroom, where those $8 drinks go to die? We’re also currently trying to set up interviews with the incoming cast members Stephen, Brooke and Alex, so we’ll let you know when those are confirmed…

So I was there. We bought the VIP tickets… yeah… Supposedly there was going to be a meet and greet from 9-10 but when we got there at 9… there was hardly anyone there. The Real Worlders were there but sat by themselves not talking to anyone.

We walked around and sipped our expensive drinks making friends with the photographer and models. Finally I got sick of it all and walked over to Alex and started talking. He was great and very nice. He had friends from school with him. Brooke spent the whole evening DRUNK and Stephen acted as if he was Brad Pitt, not talking to anyone unless one of his other real worlders was with him. There were production crew there and they were very nice.

As the evening wore on, the crowd grew but more in the Carmelo Anthony fan base. Not many people were there for the Real World kids. Their reps kept shuffling them off to do things but the ‘things’ there were going to do never materialized.

Final word- No skip the line pass, No “VIP laminate”, No meet and greet. After 11 anyone could get up to the second floor so yeah, $40? NOT WORTH IT!

We had fun because we made it fun, I would have been really pissed otherwise!
