I'm in a crappy mood right now so I lack the energy to go into as much detail as I'd like right now, but I'll give you the basics. The MTV posse returned to the cafe two days ago. I just happened to be finishing up my shift when I saw the camera man and some skanky looking producer chicks meandering about- surely looking to spot some people making out or fighting. Since they'd already been to the cafe once before and had interviewed some people, they had a couple co-workers of mine in particular that they wanted to talk to again. I walked in on the middle of the conversation the producers were having with Jane (of course) and Diana and I introduced myself, hoping my mega-watt smile and sex appeal would excite them and I'd be catapulted to stardom. Not quite the case, but I did get to hang out with them for a few hours, and then again that night.
MTV took us all out to a bar and supplied us with endless amounts of liquor in hopes of some drunken brawls or good hook-ups. I think I downed four Cosmopolitans during the two hours the producers were sponsoring our delinquency. There were only a few of us from work at the bar. Then there were a couple employees of the hip record store in town, and then a smattering of faces I'd never seen before in my life. University students, perhaps? Paid actors? I don't know. I guess at this point we're a sophisticated enough culture to know that so-called "reality" TV is basically bullshit. Do I hang out in real life with those kids from the bar? Do I even go to bars? Hell to the no! But if it's all on MTV's tab, and there exists even the slightest possibility that I could get signed on to be in this show, then I'm gonna go for it. Did you know that you get paid if MTV puts you on a show? Incredible! I know that because I am pathetically honest boring I probably won't be invited to be one of the main "East Coast Laguna Beach" kids. But I may get to be one of those kids in the background, who gets invited to a staged party or maybe even gets paid a little extra to throw a fit at the party and try to kiss someone's boyfriend.
I will keep you posted on Cafe Nssty's rise to small screen fame.
