FL on TV
Wednesday, June 28th, 2006When Kelly and I went out to the Riverfront Saturday, Kelly mentioned that one of the clubs we went to, China White, had been shown on The Real World: Key West when the housemates had evacuated to Fort Lauderdale to avoid Hurricane Wilma last fall. Apparently, they had spent the night before the storm slurping cocktails and having a merry old time while everyone else was home boarding up windows and counting their provisional cans of Beanie Weanies. So when I was flipping through channels last night and saw that episode was on again, I set my DVR to record it so I could see what it was all about.
So tonight, after working late and having to do more work at home (what is that about?), I turned it on for some mindless, wind-down evening entertainment. I haven’t seen that show in ages, but I wasn’t surprised to see the same archetypal characters were still there…the dumb blonde, the hot jock, the even hotter gay guy, etc. In this episode they had to evacuate Key West and head to Fort Lauderdale because Hurricane Wilma was heading for them. It was actually quite cool to see Las Olas on TV and the clubs Kelly and I had been to! If it’s good enough for the kids on Real World, then it’s pretty good indeed. It just continues to amaze me how much I’d underestimated Fort Lauderdale! I never knew much about it so I just assumed it was like any other beach town, albeit bigger than most, but it has turned out to be a pretty incredible city, and I’ve only been here a short while. I’m looking forward to getting out there and finding out all the other cool stuff that I haven’t discovered yet! Which is actually quite a lot I suppose…
