take it to the streets
I just saw one of the Real World kids walk by in downtown Austin (which has vendors selling bottles of sunshine to Northerners at 2 dollars a pop). Yesterday I saw two others. When television screens have limbs and are moving like the Fat Boys, I get worried. Like, drop the biology homework mom. People stared at a crew of five chase around a skinny white girl and her friend in a wheelchair as they talked about nothing, really--maybe ice cream or the weather in Brazil. Yesterday, the token black dude had a cowboy hat on that looked like a banana with cancer. That's what I call multiculturalism.
And I accidentally stepped on the shoe of one of the members of the the Youngbloodz. He didn't look too happy.
