Reality TV stars

It's been Facebook-official for a while now, but I realized that we still had yet to write a blogpost about it: Robin and I are going to be on TV. Specifically, an episode of HGTV's House Hunters International is going to feature US in Bogotá. Apparently our lives are just so cool that couldn't help but have an episode about us (that and the fact that are apartment's amazing). I'm going to write a bit about the filming process, which is going to take place over the next month, but I first want to send out a SPOILER ALERT for those of you who still believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and reality television.

The show is flying us to Atlanta to film the "before" section of the episode. Robin's already in the 'States, and I fly in this Wednesday. Please send me an email if you'd like to get together. A couple weeks after filming in the U.S., their film crew is coming to Colombia to recreate our apartment-searching process. For those of you who live in Bogotá, that 3-day filming schedule includes a Sunday afternoon (Dec. 4) dinner party at our apartment. I haven't yet decided what to cook, but I'm thinking leg of lamb will definitely be on the menu.

Lastly, I have a favor to ask y'all: in all likelihood, the episode will not air in Colombia for several years. Thus we would really appreciate it if one of our technically-savvy readers could find a way to record and dropbox us a copy of the episode.
