The race is September 6, and the finish line is on the beach! My goal is to complete this race and just enjoy myself. It's my first Rock 'n' Roll race which means there will be 20 bands playing while I run past, and]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2009/08/training-for-13-1/feed/ 0 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/07/mtv-cameraman-apology/ http://lindseymastis.com/2009/07/mtv-cameraman-apology/#comments Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:06:55 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=601 A couple weeks ago I did a story about the cast moving into the new Real World DC house near Dupont Circle. I wanted to talk to neighbors about their reaction. As I tried to interview people on the sidewalk, some of MTV's production crew tried to block my camera. One cameraman kept getting in my lens. Yesterday afternoon, I received an e-mail from that cameraman-- Ryan Romkema. Here's his apology...]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2009/07/mtv-cameraman-apology/feed/ 2 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/07/tweetup-spider-kellys/ http://lindseymastis.com/2009/07/tweetup-spider-kellys/#comments Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:55:26 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=596 What an great night! @mikeneumann organized a tweetup at Spider Kelly's in Clarendon-- and I got to meet a lot of tweeple I've been following on Twitter: @newmediajim @tvmediaag and @geosteph (We started following each other during the Elton John/Billy Joel concert at Nats...]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2009/07/tweetup-spider-kellys/feed/ 1 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/07/real-world-dc-me/ http://lindseymastis.com/2009/07/real-world-dc-me/#comments Fri, 10 Jul 2009 02:57:41 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=566 Reality shows love DC-- but does DC love reality shows? I went to the Real World DC House (on S and 20th NW) to find out. When I arrived, there were a handful of people. I began getting some exterior shots and worked my way up to the sidewalk. Then, I saw some cast members. I shot some video and did my best to stay out of the crew's shots. I even fought the urge to ask the cast members how they liked DC. When the cast members finally left, I began interviewing some fans. That's when the photographers got in my lens. There were actually two MTV photographers doing this, a male and a female. I couldn't stop laughing-- it was just ridiculous...]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2009/07/real-world-dc-me/feed/ 8 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/05/frederick-half-marathon/ http://lindseymastis.com/2009/05/frederick-half-marathon/#comments Mon, 04 May 2009 04:12:26 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=514 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/05/frederick-half-marathon/feed/ 2 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/04/embassy-of-ireland/ http://lindseymastis.com/2009/04/embassy-of-ireland/#comments Thu, 30 Apr 2009 03:36:45 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=500 I experienced my first Embassy event tonight in Ireland. Thanks to Things To Do DC, I was able to experience authentic Irish food, music, and dance. Of course, I didn't dance. This is the second event I've attended through Things To Do DC. (The first is the bartending event). There must have been about 150 people who came. My favorite memories of the night...]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2009/04/embassy-of-ireland/feed/ 0 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/04/cherry-blossom-10-miler/ http://lindseymastis.com/2009/04/cherry-blossom-10-miler/#comments Thu, 09 Apr 2009 04:08:47 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=446 I did it!!!
