Mark Rutstein of Cobalt and Ed Bailey of Town Danceboutique responding to the possibility that cast members of ''The Real World DC'' might stop by the popular 17th Street gay bar. The concern is that television cameras would end up filming gay patrons who did not want to be filmed because they might be closeted or other reasons. The reality show's home base is well know to be located in Dupont Circle at 20th and S Streets NW; and the newest series is slated to air in 2010. (Washington Post)
