Adams Morgan was split into two factions yesterday: the Crafty Bastards and the Real World-ers. If you weren't waiting in line for screen printed tee, then you may have been waiting through the brisk, drizzling weather for your chance to appear on the next The Real World. more ›

Is your kitchen a mess? Does it happen to be in a restaurant you own that happens to be in financial straits? Do you enjoy getting yelled at until you cry? If your restaurant meets these criteria and happens to have been open for over a year and with an occupancy of at least 35, you might be the perfect candidate for Chef Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. The show is casting for a struggling restaurant in the D.C. area that needs help getting on its feet from Chef Gordon Ramsay. more ›

I just couldn't resist. A tipster sent along this image of the long lines outside the Town Tavern on 18th Street in Adams Morgan, where apparently a casting call for The Real World had those who fancy themselves crazy enough to be on said program hawking their unique idiosyncrasies for producers this morning. Are these people that impressed with the dulcet tones of Wicked Liquid?
