I don’t watch reality tv too often. It just doesn’t interest me. I’m mildly annoyed by it, but not to the level that others I have heard.<\/p>\n
I always thought, How real can this be? These people are walking around, trying to act normal while they have huge camera crews following their every move.<\/p>\n
That’s got to be distracting. I mean, how do you ‘act’ natural? kind of an oxymoron.<\/p>\n
Well, today I understand better than I ever have how annoying those cameras can be.<\/p>\n
My favorite coffeeshop, the Psychobabble on Vermont has it’s open mike night sundays. I’ve been going. It’s a very cool, laid-back, accepting kind of environment. I like it.<\/p>\n
A couple of weeks ago, a cute newcomer came, her name was Jett. She sang a few songs to her guitar, and she wasn’t half bad. She was nervous, and young, so she seemed endearing.<\/p>\n
Well, as it happens, Jett came back tonight. Jett is a member of a sorority. And guess what else? Jett is on that show, “Sorority Life.”<\/p>\n
My open mike night was completely invaded. They were redoing everything, re-miking, re-lighting, wandering around with release forms. I was trying to be a good sport, I let them use my face.<\/p>\n
But the camera guy was SO intrusive. He wandered around everywhere…On the stage, behind the performers, everything.<\/p>\n
I like Jett, and I welcome her to join the lineup, but I really wish that the fake little enactment scenes and camera crew could have not screwed up my stomping ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
